What we walk into in Clarington
Nineteenth-century brick homes along the old main streets, farmhouses on the concessions, and fast newer growth around Bowmanville. Original pine and early oak floors are common and are often mistaken for beyond saving.
Heritage floor restoration, pine board repair, and full stair rebuilds where a previous owner boxed in an original flight.
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.
