Manhattan Remodel & Cape Cod Affordable Project

French Door and Weep Holes on the Balcony Video

Bob starts on the balcony of the Manhattan Brownstone where open space was standard for these urbsan town homes. The balcony of this floor-through apartment is actually large enough to be outdoor living space. Bob shows the custom Pella French doors that match the character and era of the Brownstone, tall to bring in the northern light and clad in black metal as was the trim of the 1890s. It was necessary to build up the masonry around the new door, which now matches the original facade. The painted brick on the back wall will be power washed or sanded to remove the paint. Bob also points out the weep holes that have been installed in the header above the doors. These weep holes will allow water that has penetrated the brick to exit without doing damage. Inside, Bob looks at the custom Pella double-hung one-over-one windows that mirror the original windows of the building.
