Before: Faced with a small back porch that had structural issues and leaking skylights, these Austin, Texas, homeowners turned to CG&S Design-Build for help. The first item on their wish list was a safe outdoor space. One of the homeowners “was afraid to even go outside on the porch, because it was in such bad shape,” project overseer Sara Hadden says.
