Green Hardwood

Ipe · Cumaru · Cedar · Hardwood porch

Hardwood decks and porches that survive Ontario winters without looking cheap in July.

Dense tropical hardwoods and properly detailed cedar for GTA decks, porches, and stoops. Hidden fasteners, correct ventilation, and flashing that actually keeps water out of the rim joist.

From $28–$48 / sq ft for ipe-class decks · Typical 300 sq ft deck: 1–2 weeks

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.

Questions about decks

Decks city by city

Housing stock, local price band, and the jobs we actually get called for — written per city, because a King West slab is not a Forest Hill joist.

Installation

Precision solid and engineered hardwood installation for new builds, gut renovations, and room-by-room upgrades. Subfloor, moisture, and acclimation come first — the finish is the last 10%.

Stairs

Box stairs, open-riser, replacement treads over carpet, curved flights, and full stair rebuilds. The stair is the first thing guests touch. We treat it as millwork, not leftover flooring.

Railings

Custom oak, maple, and walnut handrails, box and turned newels, metal or wood balusters, volutes, goosenecks, and wall-mounted rails that actually meet code.
