Here is a photo of the first 2 sections up, after removing the old dilapidated fence, notice our mortise and tenon joints which we cut on site. They give a very traditional and rustic feel to this fence.

Come back later to see the completed project!

WEST GREY RAISING THE ROOF | JCB and SONS

This Durham home had a 2.5/12" roof pitch with gable ends. JCB & Sons built a new 6/12" roof pitch out of 2/12" rafters and gave the house brand new cottage style ends. They also built an entire new room overtop of the garage with an 8' dormer to look out at the water.

This was a really fun project which will help modernize the look of the entire home. It will also extend the life-time of the new shingles, strengthen the entire structure of the house and eliminate the need for shoveling the snow that accumulates each year around Christmas!

This is not the end of this renovation. A new front entrance has been designed and built. As well as new front windows and siding. However, you will have to wait until the New Year to see those photos.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

GREY HIGHLANDS VERANDA DEMOLITION | JCB and SONS

JCB & Sons is building a brand new veranda on this rustic home located in priceville. Here are some photos of Christian Bender on the jack hammer breaking out the deteriorated concrete.

The issues with the old veranda were quite a number: 1) The concrete floor of the porch was not poured on any proper footing, forms, or sonotubes; therefore it had sunk over the years and cracked. 2) The porch posts were all deteriorated and rotten at the bottom. 3) The far brick wall where the veranda attached to the home (seen above) had deteriorated and crumbled. This was due to poor roofing and ventilating, therefore the water ran behind the brick and froze in the winter ruining the wall. 4) The house foundation behind the veranda was deteriorating and crumbing away.

The boys have since removed all the brick off that one wall, broke out the entire concrete slab the porch was sitting on, removed the porch posts and roof, and mortared the cracks in the foundation.

The pictures of the new brick wall going up and footings and forms going in will be up soon for your viewing.
