Run-down Turns Restful and Relaxing

As unglamorous as it may sound, we relish the opportunity to repair dilapidated decks and porches. We place a premium on durability and know from long experience that damage to one part of a home can often compromise adjacent areas, not to mention that it can be an unsightly hazard.

But when "repair" work also improve our clients' satisfaction with their home—well, this is even better! For this family of readers, converting their unused and unusable screen porch to a quiet sitting room provided a sorely needed remedy for a run-down structure while also giving them the space they needed to enjoy a favorite pastime.

The design features high windows toward the back and a large slider that provide beautiful light and views of the garden. A new gas fireplace in the corner provides heat as well as a cozy atmosphere. A custom built wall of bookcases provides space to store & display beloved books. All in all, this renovation proved to be the right antidote inside and out for a screen porch in need of more than just a repair.
