CrossWorks Carpentry.."Where Every Nail Has a Purpose"

On this job I'll be taking down the existing porch from the columns down. I'll be installing a new "maintenance free" porch with materials that will need painting. With Fiberglass structural columns, vinyl railings, composite decking, and PVC Trim, this new porch will only need a power wash every 3 or 4 years to look just as good as day one. When it comes to having a consistent appearance year after year. Using this approach is by far the most rewarding in the end. No work and great looks!
