A 2nd project finished up this week! We don't have any pics for this one, as it was crawl space work. Customer has a house originally built in 1910, now with 2 additions to it. Customer needed v***r barrier and insulation put up through-out entire 1st floor of home. A portion of the house had insulation installed a few years back, and customer wanted that removed and disposed of. He also wanted 14mil v***r barrier, not the standard 6mil. Approx 1600sf all together.

We determined the existing insulation in the one portion of home was still good and didn't need to be replaced. This saved customer over $300 in materials.

This project took us a bit longer than expected to finish, as there was a lot of trash/debris to remove before the new v***r barrier could be put down. But it is done! Customer is very happy with the outcome and our attention to detail along the way

Another great project in the books!

Project: Replace a retaining wall that borders an alley.

Scope: existing retaining wall was rotted out, and on verge of collapse. Every aspect of it had to be completely replaced.

Solution: tear down every existing board/post. We dug new post holes, set new posts and filled with concrete. Allowed concrete to cure overnight. Then outside skirts and top rail installed. (We used 2x6's instead of decking boards as was on existing for added strength and longevity). We changed the 90° corner at garage end to a 45° corner to add a little pizazz. We also did a very short return on street end for a cleaner look. Another completely satisfied customer!!

Project: Pergola

Scope: Customer wanted a pergola-type structure built over an existing deck. Corner 4x4 posts were already placed by customer when deck was built prior. Customer also had design planned out, and all materials purchased. Just needed someone to do the actual build.

Solution: after fighting a bit to draw existing posts back into plumb and square (as close as we could get it), we proceeded with customer's design. We made a few minor changes for simplicity and structural soundness. Also added blocking in place for a hanging bench swing. Every 45° 4x4 bracing had to be compound mitered cut to fit perfect. Overall, an excellent outcome and a very fun project!

Project: Doctor's office waiting room painting

Scope: Waiting room at a local Richmond Doctor's office needed a fresh look.

Helped customer pick out a neutral paint color. Needed to patch drywall in a couple of small areas. 2 coats of new paint. Painting had to be done outside of normal business hours so that there was no impact to Doctors in the practice, or their patients. So completed this project over a weekend.

New planting bed installed

Scope: Customer desired a new planting bed along front sidewalk. He wanted this to match the landscape blocks used in the past on a previous DIY project.

Solution: We built the planter bed using concrete landscaping blocks to match existing. Added some solar powered landscape lighting and some plantings to finish out

Before and After pictures of a shed renovation.

Scope: Customer needed a 25 year old shed renovated. Old vinyl clad sheathing was deteriorating, doors were rotted out, and the shingles needed to be replaced.

Solution: We stripped all vinyl clad sheathing off of the shed. Installed new OSB sheathing, and installed vinyl siding. Built new doors from scratch, and attached with heavy-duty hardware. Removed all old roofing and installed new shingles
