Not a highlight reel. These are real jobs around Danville and Boyle County photographed as they went, because the middle of a job tells you more about a builder than the finished shot does.
Every job on this page, oldest crew to newest. Pick one to read how it went.
The original stairs and railings had run their course. The replacement is new pressure treated timber the whole way, stringers, treads and railings on both sides, set on the same entry. The same crew builds custom staircases for interiors as well.
The lumber arrived on a Tuesday and went up as a covered porch on the same front elevation. A porch roof carries real load, so the posts are set and footed before anything goes over the top of them.
One property, two jobs, run back to back. The roof went on first because nothing else is worth doing under a roof that is failing. The porch followed once the house was dry.
A deck this size is a foundation job before it is a carpentry job. Posts go in the ground on footings sized for what sits on them, and the pergola over the top is planned at that stage, not added on afterwards.
The block walls were sound and worth keeping, so they stayed. New timber plates went on top of them to carry a metal roof, and the opening got a door that shuts.
The quote most people expect here is for a new building. This one did not need one. The frame was sound, the base boards were not, and the paint had been gone for years.
Water is what takes buildings apart, so where it goes gets decided with a laser level and a machine long before anything is poured. Ben runs the excavator himself.
A house is only ever as square and as dry as the walls underneath it. The forms go up braced and strung to a line, and the grade inside is set before any of it is poured, because concrete keeps whatever shape it is given.
Siding, porch and retaining wall on one property, done together. Doing them as one job is why the lines meet: new siding run down to a wall built at the same time sits right, where the same three jobs a year apart rarely do.
A covered porch is a roof, which means posts, footings and a beam that carry load. Built right it becomes the part of the house people actually use.
Ben shoots jobs as they run, so you can see what happened while the walls were open rather than only what it looked like once they closed. Tell him what you are planning and he will walk the property with you.
