Front Veranda Renovation
Location: Fitzroy North
Building Type: Veranda Deck Rebuild and Post Repair
Budget: $26’000
The front porch of this beautiful Victorian weatherboard home was showing its age, with the deck and posts in urgent need of restoration. Upon removing the old decking, we discovered that the entire substructure—including the stumps—was severely decayed.
Our Renovation Process
- Complete Rebuild: We started from the ground up, installing new concrete stumps to provide a solid foundation.
- Structural Renewal: New bearers and joists were fitted, ensuring long-term durability and stability.
- Premium Decking: The deck was finished with rich Jarrah timber, adding warmth and elegance to the home’s façade.
- Post Restoration: The load-bearing posts supporting the front roof also required attention. We replaced one post entirely and expertly repaired two others to restore both strength and character.
The Result
Through meticulous craftsmanship and a careful approach to every detail, we have transformed this front porch into a stunning and inviting recreational space. The veranda is now structurally sound, providing the owners with peace of mind as well as a beautiful area to relax and enjoy their surroundings.
