Exterior Carpentry

Dufferin Grove

Project Overview:

Heather’s front porch in Dufferin Grove was in dire need of a complete rebuild. The structure had significant wear and rot, requiring a full teardown and reconstruction.

The challenge?
The work had to be done over the winter, which meant battling unpredictable weather conditions and waiting for the right opportunities to proceed.

Despite the difficulties, Home Painters Toronto took on the job, ensuring the project was completed to the highest standards. The team meticulously rebuilt the porch from the ground up, including replacing the base, steps, railings, and ceiling.

The final result?
A brand-new, beautifully crafted porch that not only enhances curb appeal but also provides long-term durability.

Exterior Carpentry

Scope of Work

Heather entrusted Home Painters Toronto with a complete exterior carpentry overhaul. The team followed a structured approach to ensure precision and quality in every phase of the project.

Step 1: Complete Demolition

The first step involved tearing down the existing porch entirely. This included removing all railings, flooring, steps, and the rounded top portion of the porch ceiling. Every piece of rotted wood was carefully dismantled to create a solid foundation for the rebuild.

Step 2: Structural Rebuild & Installation

With the old structure removed, the team installed brand-new wood to replace the deteriorated components. This included rebuilding the base, steps, railings, pickets, and ceiling. Precision was key to ensuring stability, safety, and a seamless final look.

Step 3: Painting & Finishing Touches

Once the new porch was installed, the team waited for the weather to improve in the spring before applying the finishing touches. The entire structure was professionally painted, blending the new wood seamlessly with the home’s exterior. The final coat added an extra layer of protection against the elements, ensuring longevity and durability.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Timeline/Outcome

The project took approximately three to four months to complete due to seasonal weather delays. Despite the challenges, the results were outstanding. Heather’s porch was transformed into a strong, visually appealing structure that will stand the test of time.
