Repairs

Don’T Let This Happen To You

Every house needs some repairs at some point. Maybe it’s replacing your old Masonite or Aluminum siding to prevent water from damaging your house.

This type of incursion keeps doors and windows from functioning correctly, and disintegrates the substructure of your home. The subsequent wood rot becomes a breeding ground for insects and dangerous mold.

We are trained to spot problems like these and bring them to your attention so you can resolve them. If your deck is 15 years or older, it may be time to replace it. Some stains do a great job of sealing a deck and covering imperfections, but if there are underlying problems, it can be dangerous. The cautionary tale told in these photos is a perfect example of what can happen when instabilities are sealed over without repair.

An older carpenter was doing a walk-through on this project site when the wood gave way, and he fell through the floor. Although his injuries were not severe, the incident illustrates the importance of making sure you are adding onto a structurally sound base when you approach any project or repair. Trust the professionals with Cornerstone Additions to spot potential problems and help you protect your investment, friends, and family.
