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.

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.
