Front Porch Repair in Gettysburg

This homeowner in Gettysburg was concerned about their front porch as it had aged for some time without much upkeep. The bottoms of the columns that support the overhang were rotting out from exposure to moisture and no protection from the elements.

Rot and damage are compromising the safety of this front porch support column.

The balusters and their supports had also sustained damage over the hears and were being impacted by the weather as well. Balusters and railings are meant to provide safety for homeowners and their guests in spaces where falls could happen. A rotted railing or baluster could give way and lead to a dangerous fall.
