"The front door of my brick house is trimmed with wood and is unprotected against the elements. Portions of the wood had rotted, including parts of the pediment (i.e., the woodwork above the door). The original installers (back in 1939) cut curving 1-inch wide grooves, which matched the curving pediment roof, deep into the brick. We chose to replace the pediment with the same style rather than deal with covering the grooves. James removed the original pediment and, in a matter of days, created a new pediment with all the features and proportions of the original. He installed, caulked, and painted it.
He also solved a design problem that had caused two light fixtures to short out. The board to which the front porch light is attached is convex, making it difficult to get a tight seal with the back of the light fixture. James mounted a square board, concave on one side and flat on the opposite side, and attached the light fixture to the flat side. The solution turned out to be quite elegant. Finally, he cut out the rotten wood where the vertical trim met the concrete porch and fitted replacement wood that matches existing wood in depth and width. I am more than satisfied with the work. I am positively delighted!"
