The arches over our garage doors have been
sinking for years. Some are so bad that they are causing other
problems and are at risk of collapsing. They were improperly built
when our homes were constructed without sufficient bracing and the
weight of the brick is causing them all to sink and eventually fail.
Also, the wood around the garage doors is rotting and in need of
replacement so we're about to correct both problems.
Over the next few months each homeowner will be
contacted to coordinate the repair which will take approximately 4
days per door. All existing wood will be removed and a laminated
plywood beam will be installed and supported on each side by a 1"x3"
steel support. The brick will be raised back to the original height
and all cracks will be re-mortared. Finally, the doorway will be
trimmed out with factory painted gray Hardie Board siding which will
never rot. |
