What we walk into in Barrie
Century homes near the waterfront and downtown, dense 1970s–90s stock through the middle, and extensive newer subdivisions on the south and east edges.
Whole-home installs and stair packages rather than small repairs — the drive only makes sense on work of that size.
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.
