What we walk into in Aurora
Victorian and Edwardian houses through the old town with original quarter-sawn oak worth restoring rather than replacing, alongside large newer homes on the east side where the foyer stair is the first thing anyone sees.
Quarter-sawn restoration, walnut feature flights, and matching new hardwood into hundred-year-old rooms that are not square.
How we specify decks here
- Ipe, cumaru, and other dense hardwoods with hidden fasteners
- Porch floor restoration on Victorian and Edwardian Toronto houses
- Stair and railing packages that match the interior millwork language
- Oil maintenance programs so the deck does not go grey in two seasons
Interior hardwood people who 'also do decks' are how you get a beautiful ipe surface on a rotten ledger. Green Hardwood details the envelope: ledger flashing, joist tape, ventilation, and a slope that drains.
Ipe and cumaru earn their cost in the GTA because they take UV, ice, and barbecue fat without the cupping you see in under-specified cedar. Cedar is still the right material for some porches and budgets — we will say so.
We also restore original tongue-and-groove porch floors on Toronto Victorians, a job that is closer to interior flooring than to a big-box deck.
