Our most recent install with products from was this gateway. This formed part of a large backyard makeover which included a two storey deck with some really interesting framing details.

This gateway really sets the tone for the space you’re about to walk into and we love the horizontal Acacia panels in cocoa colour!

Final phase for our Flora backyard project was installing 3 levels of decking. The ground level deck and kitchen entrance porch were completed using French White Oak composite decking and the roof top floating deck was installed with western red cedar.

All levels used the system from TimberTech, a powder coated aluminum post and railing system that installed quickly and looks great!

Landscaping small yards in Centretown comes with its own unique challenges, but I was very happy with how the fence and river stone cleaned up the yard on our Flora st. project.

Pre-stained TimberTough fence panels and 5”x5” posts from defined the property and provide privacy from close set neighbours. Most of the yard space was set to be covered by a grade level deck, so the river rock from not only helps to clean up the appearance of the yard but will also provide great drainage under the new deck.

Shoutout to James from for the vinyl work on the company truck. James was great to work with, provided digital designs and had a ton of product samples to choose from so we could get the colours and textures just right.

Also want to say how awesome it’s been having the HD tonneau cover! I know they market for hauling atv’s on the cover, but it’s been perfect for construction work the last 3 years. I can keep my tools dry and secure under the cover and load up the top with up to 1,600 lbs. and secure it all down with the built in tie down cleats. The coating is still in perfect shape after years of use and looks practically brand new. Worth the investment!

A little better view of that rain screen detail for the siding installation.

After furring out around the window openings with strapping, we install flashing membrane to wrap from the inside of the window framing across the exterior foam and out into the face of the strapping. The window frames have an integrated nailing fl**ge and we secure the window in the opening with pan head screws installed into the flashing membrane to seal the pe*******on. We also add screws through the frame per manufacturers spec. After the fl**ges have been screwed in, we tape over the fl**ge with to seal it to the flashing memebrane. Low expansion foam applied between the frame of the window and the flashing membrane completes the sealing detail.

Walls up and windows in, next up is foam sheathing and exterior finishes.

The existing home had been sided in 8” TimberBark plank siding which we matched to blend in the new addition. One change from the existing home is our use of the integrated siding channel/nailing fl**ge. This feature allows us to create a water tight intersection between the window frame and siding while providing a clean, minimalist window trim. Strapping out the wall provides us with the necessary rain screen/air gap behind the siding which will allow any moisture that gets behind the siding to escape. This is a requirement for hardie siding but also a good practice for any type of exterior finish.

Some highlights from the framing stage of this addition.

20+ ft. long 2”x10” rafters, rake wall windows tucked into the eaves, double stacked headers in the tall wall, and there’s a skylight opening tucked in there somewhere too!

We are definitely a family business 😂

After the waterproofing and drainage layer went in, we completed backfilling the foundation with clean soil to finish grade height. Rogan was 2 at the time and when Vanessa stopped by to check in, he jumped right in to play in the biggest pile of dirt he had ever seen!

Moving right along to: Water management!

Delta, Platon, dimple membrane; it goes by many names but the function is to maintain an airgap to allow moisture to evaporate from the foundation and a pathway to channel water down to the footing drain. 3/4” Clear crushed gravel backfill provides additional drainage in the surrounding soil to keep groundwater near the foundation moving through the footing drains and away from the foundation.

One of the details required for this project was to provide frost protection insulation for the footing immediately below the basement window. Having a large basement window allows lots of natural light into the basement, but the extra depth of the window meant that there was as not as much soil height below the window opening to prevent frost pe*******on. Some high compressive strength rigid foam provides enough added R value to keep the cold from getting below the footing and eliminates the potential for frost heave.

Concrete time!

Forms up, rebar set, dimensions confirmed and corners squared, we were ready for the pump truck to show up. This phase is very satisfying, to go from prepping to building.
