Gerry
Ave Porch
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!
