Biggest Changes From Start To Finish


We just finished this job about 2 weeks ago and I was amazed it turned out 1/2 this good. The before pics were actually after we cleaned away a LOT of weeds and poison ivy and starightened the roof line. The building should have been torn down but the customer wanted it fixed. He was very excited when we finished.

What of the old building remains? It looks like it is a new building, you might as well have torn it down and built a new one. The only thing that looks the same is the size and orientation.

Good job.

Good job.

We re-used all the walls and roof and just covered the old walls & roof. It was actually in better shape than it looked.
