This view of the Cypress arbor entrance & fencing shows an expansive area of the pea gravel driveway and cobble edging. The edging also prevents water and mud from running onto the driveway, puddling and staining the aggregate.

This new deck is made of grey composite material. A metal piece was added at the bottom to prevent animals from going down there. This grey composite material looks great and is going to last them a long time. We added a step, went around a tree enough to not get in the way of the roots, capped off some sprinklers, and also built in some hidden compartments that can be removed to access french drains.

Are your TVs, computers, and other devices currently connected to a power strip? If so, then you probably already know the benefits of surge protection equipment, and how they can prevent permanent damage to your personal electronics.
At IRV Plumbing & Electric, we take it one step further by installing a surge protector on your entire area home. This way, every device you plug in will be automatically protected from dangerous power surges. Learn more about Charlotte home surge protection and find out whether or not it’s right for your home.
Whole House Surge Protection
Those power strips many people use to protect their televisions, phones, stereos, and more, are not always as effective as you might think. Many power strips simply provide additional electrical outlets, but won’t actually make a difference if your home is struck by lightning, or if there is a power surge during a storm.
With whole house surge protection, we can install a surge protection system that protects your entire home from power surges. Any appliance you plug in, from a hair dryer to your washing machine, will be protected without you needing to do anything extra. Protect your valuable electronics with a Charlotte whole house surge protection system.

Artificial Turf
At the center of the landscape is a vibrant green area covered with high-quality artificial turf. The turf is meticulously installed to ensure a seamless and natural look, providing a low-maintenance, year-round green space. The artificial turf is bordered by concrete to maintain a clean and defined edge, preventing the turf from fraying and maintaining the overall neat appearance.
Natural Planter
Adjacent to the artificial turf is a beautifully designed natural planter. This planter is filled with a variety of thriving plants, including colorful flowers, ornamental grasses, and small shrubs. The planter is constructed from concrete, matching the style of the surrounding hardscaping. It has a slightly elevated design, which helps in highlighting the plants and provides an interesting visual contrast to the flat turf.
Concrete Patios
On one side of the turf, there is a spacious concrete patio. The patio is designed with a smooth, polished finish, offering a modern and elegant look. It's an ideal area for outdoor furniture, making it perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors. The concrete patio is connected to the house by a series of stepping stones that blend into the landscape seamlessly.
Sidewalks
Concrete sidewalks meander through the landscape, connecting different areas and providing a clear path for navigation. These sidewalks have a brushed finish, adding a subtle texture that enhances both safety and aesthetics. They are bordered by lush greenery and flower beds, which soften the hard edges of the concrete and create a balanced look.
Concrete Border
Surrounding the entire landscape is a concrete border that ties the various elements together. This border is slightly raised, providing a clear demarcation between different areas, such as the artificial turf, natural planter, and the surrounding greenery. The border also helps in containing soil and mulch within the planter areas, maintaining a clean and organized appearance.

We took a tired backyard and pool and turned it in to a wonderful vacation spot. We removed old concrete and interlock around the pool, installed new acrylic 6’ French curved steps and poured a concrete foundation for an Antique Silver Valley natural stone nosing. The deck was replaced with Techo Bloc Blue 60 Shale Grey interlock stone in random square pattern. We replaced the plumbing and moved a new skimmer to the side of the pool that was not visible from the house. A full print white beach pebble was chosen with no border so as not to clash with the detail on the stone. Where we weren’t able to provide natural drainage, a Quaker deck drain was installed to prevent ponding .
This project won a Bronze Award in the Vinyl Pool Renovation Category at the 2017 Canadian Pool & Spa Conference & Expo.

The original idea was to update the tile floor and the tub. That’s it.
A further discussion of wants and needs revealed intentions for an eventual larger shower and an improved vanity storage. It made sense to map out the possibilities and design our update with potential next steps in mind. The process was exciting, ultimately leading to the decision to do a full primary bath remodel.
Design Objectives:
-Maintain existing locations for all major bathroom functions
-Make the shower larger and more open
-Use luxurious materials throughout
-Improve vanity storage and define accessories for specific items
-Incorporate luxury shower fixtures
-Include the latest technology
Design Challenges
-Enlarging the shower in a typical rectangular shape would block the view and light from the alcove windows behind the tub
-Logical placement of the built-in shower caddy and all shower components in accordance with how and where they were to be used
-Keeping the long, back wall free from any shower modules to maintain the decorative tile design
-Combining the owner’s existing smart home system with a comprehensive shower system
-Planning cabinetry for hidden storage and use for various small appliances and make-up
-Integrating expensive shower wall tile with less expensive wall tile for aesthetic and budget purposes
-Incorporating special design features to balance the highly decorative shower tile
Design solutions:
-A clipped corner was planned for the shower bench seat – this allowed for a larger glass wall. The glass wall at the angled bench also brought more natural light into the shower
-Thoughtful shower space design prevented the crowding of features – the shower caddy and handheld shower head were placed on the full-height wall by the shower bench, the regular shower head and body sprays remained on the opposite wall, and the rain head was placed in the center of the shower
-A multi-port DTV system was installed, providing control of all shower components, including chromotherapy and music inside and outside the shower
-The lavish water-jet stone and glass decorative tile was paired with a less-expensive glass tile found in the mosaic
-Pull-out grooming organizers and electrical docking stations were incorporated into the cabinetry
Additional storage was created in the lower corner cabinet
The homeowners are thrilled with their new primary bathroom. Clear goals and carefully evaluated materials informed a fun and functional design that is both thoughtful and sumptuous!

The counter flashing is the metal that is visible, with step flashing that is under both the shingles and the counter flashing, but not visible. This will prevent the left rater from rotting due to water exposure.

This was once a damp basement that frequently flooded with each rain storm. Two sump pumps were added, along with some landscaping that helped prevent water getting into the basement. Ceramic tile was added to the floor, drywall was added to the walls and ceiling, recessed lighting, and some doors and trim to finish off the space. There was a modern style powder room added, along with some pantry storage and a refrigerator to make this an additional living space. All of the mechanical units have their own closets, that are perfectly accessible, but are no longer an eyesore in this now beautiful space. There is another room added into this basement, with a TV nook was built in between two storage closets, which is the perfect space for the children.

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.
Client Feedback
The team at Eternity Matters shared their gratitude: "Triumph Roofing went above and beyond! They worked efficiently, stayed within our budget, and left our roof looking as good as new. We highly recommend their Shingles Roof Repairs services!"
This project highlights our commitment to delivering reliable and affordable roofing solutions. Whether it's repairing damaged shingles or providing full roof replacements, Triumph Roofing stands ready to protect your property with expert care.
