I built this porch using douglas fir and pressure treated pine. The toprail is made from select grade douglas fir 2 x 4 and has half lapped corner joints for to minimize movement. The customer wanted something that was durable, paintable, and low profile. The job also involved a bit of shingling. The area around the new porch was re-shingled as needed, with premium grade eastern white cedar shingles.
This deck was built using composite PVC decking for low maintenance and durability. The guardrail system is made from cumaru and powder coated aluminum balusters. Cumaru is a tropical hardwood that is similar to ipe at a much lower price point. The high bush blueberries around the front of the deck were a great source of snacks throughout the job.
I miss those things. A customer in Falmouth requested a low maintenance deck durable enough to stand up to tough Maine winters. I modified the homeowner's original design and built a custom 52' x 12' deck using Ipe, one of the most durable hardwoods available.

Services
I recently built some shaker style radiator covers for a customer in South Portland. The covers were constructed using birch plywood and poplar. We used SketchUp to design the covers and finalize the look before any building took place. One of the covers was made for a child's room and has built in storage.
