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

 
 
  Sandy Spring Stairs

These 20 + year old decks and cedar stairways have taken a beating over the years. On this project the stairway to the driveway was heavily damaged and will be replaced using pressure treated framing and cedar decking and rails. I'll also be replacing a downhill walkway with gradual 24" steps which will lead to the main and upper deck. And to the main deck I will be replacing some decking and also the rail caps for now. This project will have 3 phases.
