Custom Decks Built to Order

You can have a deck built to your custom specifications, even if you think you can't.


New residential home construction projects in Philadelphia are being built with roof access and the roof is being conformed to allow for a private deck. The feature has been added as a part of the zoning code in most residential districts. Maybe yours is not a new construction home, but you can possibly have a deck as well. Of course all new decks require construction plans and zoning approval  to begin building. This is minor step towards the full enjoyment you will have with your private deck.

We can help with the process. Our engineers and custom deck builders will walk you through step by step and get on your way to privacy and enjoyment.

Increase Home Value & Comfort with Simple Upgrades

Simple residential upgrades that increase home value and comfort.

Many Philadelphia homes have great character and vintage features. If your a person who likes old features, why not keep them and build upon them with simple upgrades and small added features. Budgets for this kind of work can be very manageable.








Strip off the old paneling and dress up old base boards. This style of remodeling takes special skill and is often overlooked with big budget remodeling cost. But there is another more cost effective way to remodel.



Add new drywall on wall and ceiling surfaces to create a new smooth look. Select a 2 color scheme that fits your personality. Using a bright white high gloss white paint on base boards and trim will always make your selected colors pop.


There are a variety of flooring options available as well. Selecting a laminate flooring that is with your budget will also change your experience and the experience of those who visit your home.


Address the steps by sanding the treads and staining them to match or accent the flooring selected.
Create custom features where possible at the entry to your home. If add-ons have a functional use all the better.


Project Scope of Work:

Drywall walls and ceilings
Install laminate flooring in living room, dining room and upstairs hallway
Upgrade electrical devices
Add electrical lines and ceiling fan
Add receptacle and cable line for mounted TV
Build custom foyer entry to conceal radiator riser lines

Construction Topics - Floor Joist

Floor joists are fundamentally the lateral support of the building structure. In the case of inter city row homes, particularly as in Philadelphia these old members were solid one piece timbers measuring approximately 3" wide x 91/2"deep. The span, which is the distance measured end to end varies depending on the distance between the buildings party walls. When assessing floor joist replacement, a professional engineer should always be consulted. No floor joist should be removed without a professional engineers advise. I have seen several conditions where a vital floor joist was removed and floors sloped or sagged, walls cracked and trim has pulled any from the walls or the entire house settled.


If you think you need professional help here are some things to look for. Do the joist twist at either end? Do the joist drop down on either end and appear to be crushing the material under it? Do the joist sag in the middle? Do you see cracks in the joist along the span? Does the joist have a post propped up under it? Does the joist show signs of flaking and deteriorating ?


The average building measuring approximately 60 foot deep from front to rear takes about 45 - 50 joists per floor. There are a number of lumber of yards that carry the true size of old joist timber for an exact width and depth replacement. Although smaller joist can be sistered (nailed) together to achieve the proper width, the extra time and labor cost in assembly can affect the budget. I personally don't like the method.


Remember always consult a professional.
