What we walk into in Innisfil
Former seasonal cottages converted to year-round use, lakefront rebuilds, and newer resort-style condominium stock. Humidity swings are extreme where heating is intermittent.
Engineered assemblies specified for unheated shoulder seasons, and solid hardwood only where the building is genuinely conditioned year round.
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.
Jobs Innisfil keeps calling us for
- Cottage-to-house conversions
- Friday Harbour engineered installs
- Seasonal-humidity remediation
