Paul Despenas: The home was built in the late 1970’s and the windows had seen better days. At some point wood just stops holding paint and the exterior sills and casings start to deteriorate. Those are the easy fix. It’s when the window sashes start to deteriorate, it is past the time to start looking for new windows.
When you can see wood rot on the sills, casings and sashes it is allowing water and air to infiltrate into the rough opening of the home causing structural damage and mold. This also allows plenty of the energy to go right out the windows!!
EcoSmart Windows are custom built to fit into the existing opening like a glove.

For the kitchen, custom two-tone green cabinetry was carefully selected to ensure the perfect match. A hammered copper sink brings brightness to the counter, and the unexpected copper metal finishes complete this kitchen’s aesthetic. Copper also has unique anti-microbial properties, which make it an excellent choice for a kitchen sink. Lastly, the soft grey quartz balances the design in tandem with the backsplash tile that has a muted marble tone and a 3-dimensional diamond profile.
The island front is clad with white kaleidoscope mosaics for visual and aesthetic interest, as well as serving a functional purpose. The clients own a dog, which scratched at the wooden millwork causing damage. For that purpose, we chose tiles to ensure the longevity of the new kitchen. At the very end of the island, a “dog cave” was carved out to keep his food and water.

The Owners of this boathouse on Lake Rosseau approached us to modify the existing structure.
Classic Muskoka Homes prepared a Fixed-Price proposal for the construction of a new sloped roof structure for the existing boathouse which had an existing flat roof.
Work got underway with demolition & framing work on the roof structure. Upon investigation, it was determined that water ingress had caused damage to a wall and dock stringer timber along the boathouse's South wall. Port Sandfield Dockworks Incorporated performed repair work on the dock. We subsequently repaired the rotted wall framing in boathouse South wall.
New shingle roofing, board & batten siding, aluminum soffit & fascia were installed to integrate a fresh look for the boathouse.
This boathouse building project was completed within approximately one (1) month in 2013.

As many as 50% of homeowners choose to replace their roof because of cosmetic repairs alone. A roof cleaning costs a fraction of the cost at 3–5% of an actual strip and re-shingle job. Roof cleaning is much more affordable than most people think. At O’LYN Roofing roofing we provide our customers with the option of roof cleaning as an alternative and to protect roofs from deterioration caused by organic elements. Our roof cleaning services are performed by trained technicians using professional grade equipment and cleaners that are specifically designed for cleaning roofs. We use a low pressure wash that is environmentally safe to ensure that your shingles are not damaged during the cleaning process.

Rotted fascia on a patio corner, and the repair went deeper than the wood. Finished in Spring.
Client: David
Location: Spring
Scope of Work: Fascia, soffit, aluminum trim and roof-edge repair, back patio porch
The left corner of David’s back patio porch had gone soft. Rotted fascia, soffit and trim, the kind of damage you can see from the yard once you know to look.
Rot at a roof edge is never only about the wood. Water got there somehow, and that path runs through the edge itself.
We took off the aluminum trim, soffit panels and roof-edge flashing to reach the damaged wood, then pulled shingles back along the edge. With it open, we inspected the framing and decking for damage we could not see from outside.
New exterior-grade wood fascia, soffit boards and trim in, then new aluminum trim and soffit panels matched to the existing as closely as the product allows.
Then the roof edge rebuilt properly: new drip edge, flashing, waterproof underlayment and shingles. Joints and seams caulked, transitions sealed, new wood primed and painted to match.
Gutter and downspout components reattached, debris hauled, final cleanup.
Straight about scope: this covered the left corner only, and on weathered material an exact color match is never guaranteed. Two-year workmanship warranty.
David, thank you for fixing the cause, not just the face of it.

This siding repair started with a challenge: a poorly performing window unit had leaked down the side wall, destroying the remaining fiberboard siding. The lower half had already been replaced with Hardie siding, but the damage above called for a full upgrade. We removed the compromised material and installed new 12" Hardie Cedarmill siding to match. After a deep clean of the existing Hardie Plank and fresh coat of paint across the entire wall, the transformation is seamless—everything looks brand new.
We also helped install the new window unit and rerouted the drain line to prevent future water damage. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in long-term performance.
✅ Why it matters: Fiber cement siding like Hardie offers superior durability, moisture resistance, and curb appeal—especially when installed with attention to drainage and detail.
? Serving Cypress, Tomball, and Northwest Houston, we specialize in siding upgrades that blend architectural integrity with hands-on craftsmanship.
? Check out the before-and-after in our gallery, and if your siding’s showing signs of wear—or if a leaky window unit has caused hidden damage—let’s talk. We’ll walk you through your options and deliver a solution that’s built to last.

The owners of this San Antonio home needed repair work to their fascia boards. Rainwater had badly rotted and warped the wood. If left untreated, damaged fascias can allow water into the roof cavity. This can cause serious structural problems later on. Wood absorbs even small amounts of water. Light rainfall is enough for unprotected fascias to start to warp or rot.

For this kitchen remodeling project, our homeowner had a water leak behind their sink and dishwasher that caused extensive damage. We needed to tear out all the cabinets and take everything down to the studs. Once the walls were repaired, we started the remodel by installing a new Pocono Gray 6x36 floor. Next up are the new cabinets from our Kitchen Solvers Legacy Collection line. To finish this kitchen transformation, we added a new white quartz countertop and a Tetramoda stone glossy 3x12 glazed ceramic backsplash. Check out this stunning new kitchen!
