Rotten Faux Column & Rail Removal + Full Replacement
Sungate Neighborhood – Bartlett, Tennessee

Handyman Services Memphis recently completed a cosmetic refresh project in the beautiful Sungate community of Bartlett, TN, where aging exterior features were beginning to show significant deterioration. The homeowner contacted us after noticing soft spots, peeling surfaces, and visible rot in their faux columns and front porch railing—a common issue in older builds and homes exposed to Tennessee’s humidity.

Project Overview

Our team removed the failing faux columns and damaged rail system, ensuring all compromised materials were safely dismantled without affecting the porch structure. Once the rot was fully cleared, we installed durable, long‑lasting replacement materials designed to withstand moisture, temperature swings, and everyday wear.

Scope of Work

• Full inspection of porch columns and rail system
• Safe removal of rotten faux columns and deteriorated railing
• Cleanup of underlying rot and compromised framing
• Installation of new, high‑quality column materials (wood, PVC, or composite depending on homeowner preference)
• Custom‑fit replacement railing built for strength, safety, and curb appeal
• Precision finishing for a clean, polished, like‑new appearance

Why This Matters for Sungate Homeowners

Outcome
