The first impression is of an extremely small cottage in the Multnomah Village area, until you go around back to discover a daylight basement and a second story bump-out.

Before we disassembled it, this is what our client’s home-made sunporch looked like. Note the transom-glass which we also removed, cleaned, reinstalled & improved the glazing system with some custom-made aluminum glazing materials (not shown).

A 6′ X 5′ “7-Lite” Sash on one side of the door, and an 8′ X 5′ “18-lite” sash on the other. We were asked to look at replacing the putty-glazing, but the labor component to do so on these truly antique sash would cost more than…

…replacing them with new single-pane, 1 3/8″ thick fir sash. Note the wood-stops rather than putty-glazing, and the simplified Queen-Anne 6-Lite configuration on both of these new sash, shown here in our warehouse in Tigard. New sash by Wooddale; http://wooddalewindows.net/

Our client asked if we would be willing to prime them before we installed them, which we sometimes are willing to do, depending upon several factors. Technicians Bruce & Phil shown here going about masking & priming the new sash.

Ready for installation.

We ended up finding more water-damaged components than we expected, so we ended up rebuilding more of the sub-structure than we expected.

There was some “Change-Order” work on this project. But it translated into a better finished product for our client.

Almost done.

Just one of the many Mountain Park homes that capitalize upon the stunning views from Mt. Sylvania.
In this case, it’s a view from our client’s master bath…

…and shower stall by means of a solarium glass wall. All the expensive glass shower-stall walls & the fiberglass tub are well cared for and protected while we work.

This happened to be one of the few home owners who didn’t wait until they had a leak, to upgrade the flashing and have the glass glazing upgraded.

They also took our recommendation that they let us upgrade their glass with the latest 366-Low-E Insulated Glass.

We completely removed all the original flashing and temporarily removed the aluminum portion of the solarium assembly structure.

We removed some of the roofing as needed and tied in some of the latest flashing membrane materials into the original moisture-barrier.

All the new custom-made flashing & and adjoining custom gutter/flashing structure were made to our specifications…

…by Schmeer Sheet Metal (www.schmeersheetmetal.com).
The original aluminum-frame components are re-installed & the new glass glazed into place.

Roofing materials are replaced as needed.

The finished product.

Literally…better than when it was new.
