Overview
What this work involves
A balcony takes more abuse than almost any other structure on a house — full sun, standing water, and a ledger connection that has to carry weight while staying watertight. Most balcony problems we get called for started as a small leak at the ledger or door threshold that quietly rotted the framing underneath a perfectly good-looking deck surface. We open up the structure, replace rotted framing, and correctly waterproof and flash the ledger and door transition before any new decking, railing, or finish goes back on. Railings are set to current code height and spacing, since older balconies are frequently short of both.
What’s included
- Structural inspection and framing repair
- Ledger board waterproofing and flashing
- Door threshold and transition detailing
- Code-compliant railing height and baluster spacing
- New decking and finish surfaces
- Drainage planning to keep water moving off the structure
How It Works
From first call to final walkthrough
The same four steps on every balcony remodeling project.
Inspect the Structure
We open up the surface where needed and check the ledger, joists, and posts for rot or movement.
Scope & Quote
You get an honest written scope covering what structural work is required versus cosmetic.
Repair & Waterproof
Framing repaired, ledger and thresholds properly flashed and waterproofed before anything is closed in.
Finish & Inspect
Decking and railings installed to current code and load-checked before handoff.
Why It Matters
The difference a careful job makes
Small choices in prep, materials, and finish work add up to a result that looks better on day one and still looks right in ten years.
Measured on Site
Nothing cut to a nominal dimension. Every piece is fitted to the walls and openings you actually have.
Priced in Writing
Materials, finish level, and exclusions agreed before work starts — no open-ended line items.
Done by Specialists
Finish carpentry is our core trade, not a sideline picked up alongside general contracting.
Clean When We Leave
Dust containment, floor protection, and daily cleanup — most of our work is in occupied homes.
Our Standard
Detail-driven from start to finish
Premium results come from disciplined habits, not shortcuts. Here’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every project.
Consistent reveals
The same quarter-inch step at every opening in the house. Invisible when right, obvious when not.
Coped, not mitred
Inside corners coped so they stay closed when the house moves through a heating season.
Correct fasteners
Hardware rated for the material it goes into, especially anything in contact with treated lumber.
Sequenced properly
Trades in the right order so nothing gets installed twice or damaged by the step that follows.
