JL Home Builders restored our back porch beautifully! The concrete work is flawless, and the new railings make it so much safer. Our Crestline Street home looks fantastic.
The Challenge
Restoring Aging Concrete With Professional Parging and Coating
The existing concrete had deteriorated over time and required professional restoration. The project involved working on an elevated back porch with exterior stairs providing access from ground level. The concrete surfaces showed typical wear from Pittsburgh’s harsh weather cycles including freeze-thaw damage, surface erosion, and structural concerns. Our clients wanted a durable restoration solution that would protect the concrete from further damage while improving the home’s appearance and safety. The Crestline Street location required careful material handling and site management in a typical Pittsburgh residential neighborhood with limited access.
Back Porch Concrete Restoration with Professional Parging and Coating
A durable, weather-resistant porch system with professional safety railings.
We delivered a complete back porch concrete restoration featuring expert parging application and a high-quality gray protective coating system designed for long-term durability. The parging work repairs and resurfaces the concrete, creating a smooth, uniform finish that seals out moisture and prevents further deterioration. The gray coating provides additional weather protection while giving the structure a clean, updated appearance. The concrete work includes the elevated porch deck surface, all stair treads and risers, and the supporting foundation walls. Professional application ensures proper adhesion, coverage, and long-term performance. The new white railing system provides essential safety for the stairs and porch perimeter while complementing the home’s brick exterior. The result is a structurally sound, weather-protected back porch that significantly enhances this Crestline Street home’s functionality, safety, and curb appeal.
