The project

Rot at the front entry.

Rot had reached the deck post and the front-entry stairs and landing. We jacked up the deck, replaced the rotted post and set the new one on a concrete pier block with a metal post base.

Then the stairs and landing were opened up and the rotted material removed. The framing was repaired, the stairs and landing were re-decked with new boards, and the finish was applied to match the existing deck. The repair itself took one day.
