The client had an exterior door from the garage to the backyard. The door was not sealing against the weather properly because it was out of sqaure, rotting at the bottom, missing its door sweep and about 3/4 of an inch too short.

Shutters and Door project

Here's a house we just worked on in Fairview's Heritage Ranch Community. We built these cedar shutters in our shop, painted, and installed them. Shutters really do add a nice touch to the front of your home.



We also painted the front door to match.

Siding replacement at historic building in Dallas

Here's a job we completed for the Garden Gate Floral Shop near downtown Dallas. They had a large amount of rotted siding along the back of their building. The doors also suffered water damage and started coming apart. Their roof was leaking as well. We came up with a total package to solve their problems. We installed gutters to help divert the majority of water causing the problems. We replaced the rotted windows (the windows turned out to be wooden doors instead) with new vinyl-framed windows. We had to track down wooden siding to match the historic siding on the building. We caulked and painted the new siding. We replaced two doors with new steel doors. We also replaced a missing porch post and routed it to match the other posts. This is one of those jobs that just comes together.

As you can see here, the siding and window frame is rotted. Imagine the amount of water that leaks into the walls of the building every time it rains.


This is the after picture of the same area with new cedar siding and vinyl windows (energy efficient).

The new cedar siding should last for many decades to come.
Due to the height of the structure we installed scaffolding.


As you can see, we replaced the door, the siding, the windows, caulked and painted, and installed gutters. The gutters matched the trim paint perfectly. The new steel doors will keep the rain out and provide extra security and energy efficiency.



We installed the post on the left. It's hard to see in the picture, but we routed (made grooves) in the top and bottom of the post to match it to the others.
