Recently completed a full roof replacement in North Austin after the homeowner’s insurance claim was approved following severe hail and wind damage. After a thorough inspection, our team documented the storm-related impacts, assisted throughout the claims process, and installed a completely new roofing system built for long-term performance in the Texas climate.
This project included a full tear-off of the existing roof, upgraded synthetic underlayment, new flashing, proper attic ventilation improvements, and premium architectural shingles selected for durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. Our crew maintained a clean and organized job site throughout the installation and completed a detailed final walkthrough to ensure everything met both manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Storm damage is one of the leading causes of roof replacement in North Austin, especially after hail events and strong seasonal winds. Warning signs can include missing shingles, bruising, granule loss, water stains, active leaks, lifted flashing, and aging roofing materials.

/Zero VOC means no Volatile Organic Compounds – those long-chain hydrocarbons that contribute to interior air pollution and can combine with nitrogen oxides to form ground-level ozone – are released as the finish cures.
A zero-VOC finish is hard to find in the floor coating industry and we had been searching for one for a while. It’s not exactly clear why the floor finishing business is so far behind the paint industry – VOC-free paints have been available in mainstream retail for at least two years.
Flooring finishes seem to rely heavily on those volatile petroleum-distillate-based solvents that keep the solids and resins in solution until applied but evaporate quickly to allow the finish to dry and cure in a reasonable time.
But mineral spirits and petroleum distillates release high levels of VOCs that can cause eye, skin, nose and throat irritation, and they are neurotoxins that may depress or damage the brain and nervous system. Short-term exposure to VOCs can cause dizziness, headache, drowsiness and nausea.

Inspiration for a coastal light wood floor dining room remodel in Miami with white walls and no fireplace

Baylen is 9 years old and was diagnosed at age 6 with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in October 2020, in the middle of the pandemic. DMD is a rare disease caused by a genetic mutation that prevents the body from producing a protein called Dystrophin, to which there is currently no cure. In lieu of Dystrophin, his muscles are slowly being encompassed with scar tissue. Without Dystrophin the scar tissue will eventually take over his muscles until they cannot perform adequately for his body.
Since his diagnosis, he has taken to lego building and gaming, which are activities he can participate in without causing any damage to his muscles. Unfortunately the game room in his house is located upstairs while his room is located downstairs making it difficult for him to participate in these activities without assistance or pain from walking up the stairs.
One of the biggest issues is at night, when his legs are in pain, he ends up in his parents room which prevents anyone from getting a restful night's sleep. A room where he feels comfortable and safe would greatly help both him and his parents. It would also be beneficial for his room to have more space for lego building and play video games without having to walk up the stairs.

Marble is known for its premium quality, toughness and aesthetic, making it a very popular choice for bathroom countertops, such as this one at a house in Northampton. However just because it’s tough doesn’t mean that Marble can be cleaned with the usual household cleaners. Like all natural stone, Marble is acid sensitive and unsuitable products can have a very damaging effect on its appearance.
In this situation, the property owner had used a limescale remover to remove some unsightly marks from the countertop. Unfortunately, the product was acid-based and instead of making an improvement it just made it worse and caused severe etching.
The first photo above shows the limescale marks from where toiletries have been placed on the side whilst wet. Since Northampton is a hard water area, the limescale deposits over time caused these marks to appear.
The only way to effectively remove the Limestone deposits – while at the same time rectifying the damaged caused by the botched cleaning attempt – was to use a system of hand-held diamond encrusted pads and hand help blocks of various grits to cut back the stone and re-polish it, a process we call burnishing.
Before officially beginning the burnishing process, I ran a few tests to determine the type of pad I would need to use to achieve the best results. I found that, in most areas, I would need to use the Tile Doctor 400 Grit (Coarse) pad to resurface the tile and remove the damaged layer of stone, but in some areas where the etching was worse, I would need to use the 200 Grit (Very Coarse) pad.
After burnishing the affected areas with the Coarse and Very Coarse grit pads, I started to incrementally polish the stone to achieve a high-quality shine, working my up through the Medium, Fine and Very grit pads.
No chemicals were used during this process – only water for lubrication, combined with the six-inch diamond encrusted burnishing pads fitted to a hand-held buffing machine.
The final part of the restoration was to seal the stone to maintain a long-lasting, deep polished appearance. To do this, I used Tile Doctor Shine Powder, which is a crystallising sealer in powder form. The powder is applied directly and combined with water, before being worked into the stone to seal it.
The customer was very happy with the results and the level of shine achieved. I gave the customer a complimentary bottle of Tile Doctor Stone Soap, which is our aftercare cleaner for polished natural stone, along with instructions on periodic maintenance to help maintain the finish we had achieved for as long as possible.

Shingles Roof Repairs in Charlotte
Eternity Matters, a nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, contacted Triumph Roofing with concerns about their roof. Years of wear and tear had caused multiple shingles to crack, curl, and detach, leading to water seepage in certain areas. They needed a reliable roofing solution to protect their building and ensure it remained a safe space for their community activities.
After a thorough inspection, we determined that a comprehensive Shingles Roof Repairs project would address the damage. The estimated cost of $6,500 fit their budget, providing a cost-effective yet high-quality solution. Our team quickly developed a plan to repair the damaged areas and restore the integrity of the roof.
The Repair Process
On the scheduled repair day, our team arrived early to begin the work. First, we carefully removed the damaged shingles, ensuring no debris was left behind. Next, we replaced the underlayment to provide added protection and prevent future leaks. Finally, we installed new, high-quality shingles to match the existing roof, restoring its uniform appearance.
Throughout the process, we kept Eternity Matters informed of each step, answering their questions and ensuring they felt confident in the project’s progress. By the end of the day, their roof was fully repaired, durable, and ready to withstand future weather challenges.

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.

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!

Keeping your area rugs cleaned is important for several reasons. Dirt, dust and pet dander can accumulate into the fibers of your carpet over time and cause premature aging and damage to the foundation of any rug. The life span of your rug will improve greatly by professionally having dirt, stains and odors removed. This is exactly what our team performed for our client with this Persian Heriz rug.
