ShadeFX customized a 14’x12’ retractable canopy with a manual operation which allows the shade to be stopped and locked at any desired position along the track. A perfect solution when deciding to bask in the morning rays or to block out the harsh light of the afternoon sun. Sunbrella Sea fabric was the final touch to complement the furniture and blooming gardens.

Homeowner had been considering construction of a pergola for quite some time, but was reluctant to do so due to lack of rain protection. Although there are several pergola kit retrofit products that meet most of their goals, none of them were a good fit by matching all. The desire was for a retractable patio awning that aesthetically matched a pergola, but was retractable, and provided protection from both UV and inclement weather on their south facing patio. Part of the goal was to provide a flexible outdoor entertaining area, but also to integrate a front drop shade to help reduce the summer's afternoon sun from entering the space; as well as the bay window and sliding doors. The "Gennius", a waterproof retractable awning by Durasol Awnings was selected by the homeowner for aesthetics and function, with a solar screen drop shade integrated between the upright support posts. As young parents, it was of utmost importance to find a durable fabric for the drop shade that not only blocked an adequate amount of sun, but retained as much view of the pool for safety when deployed. Mermet brand Natte was chosen for the drop shade. Both the retracting fabric roof and the integrated drop shade are operated by radio controlled motors and hand-held remote control. The homeowner now has complete control of the area, with on-demand protection to suit their tastes.

Concrete is porous, and when left untreated without a coating, like stain, it can succumb to extreme abuse from tire traffic and exposure to chemicals.

This Sammamish outdoor living project features a custom multi‑angle deck design paired with a vaulted roof cover built for year‑round use in the Pacific Northwest. The homeowners wanted a space that felt open, architectural, and protected from Sammamish’s frequent rain and shade—while blending seamlessly with the home’s existing structure. We designed and built a dual‑angle vaulted roof with exposed architectural elements, integrated soffits, and clean trim details to create a finished, modern look. The covered structure provides excellent weather protection while allowing natural light to filter in, making the space usable in every season. The deck was finished with TimberTech/Azek Dark Hickory, a premium PVC material ideal for moisture‑heavy environments like Sammamish. This low‑maintenance decking resists rot, mold, and fading, making it a long‑lasting solution for PNW homes surrounded by trees. Additional upgrades included: • Smart lighting integration for evening ambiance • Outdoor heating options for year‑round comfort • Powder‑coated aluminum railing for a modern, open feel • Improved waterproofing and flashing to protect the home’s exterior • Structural enhancements to support the vaulted cover and multi‑angle layout This project showcases how thoughtful design, premium materials, and proper construction practices can transform a shaded Sammamish backyard into a functional, beautiful outdoor living space.

One of the most popular hardwood floor finishing which offers Tom & Peter Flooring is provided by WOCA. If you’ve decided that you want a natural looking wooden floor that is lacquer-free, then the likelihood is that you’ve chosen oil as your way of protecting your wood and making your floor look great at the same time. WOCA for wood flooring comes in various forms and is a great way of making sure that your wood is protected, but at the same time looks natural. A highly popular as well as effective way of treating wood floors, oils effectively penetrate into the wood and in some cases harden into the surface of the floor to stop damage and to maintain the wood in its optimum condition. WOCA Oil finish hardwood flooring has taken the United States market by in 2014 and shows no signs of slowing down in 2016 and now. Here are some of the most common questions we have regarding this type of finish which we will I’m to answer in today’s my blog: Is oil finish as durable as traditional factory urethane finishes with aluminum oxide? When it comes to durability, oil finish flooring tackles the issue with a completely different method. The penetrating oil serves as protection from moisture and wear while allowing the user to feel the wood grains in their bare feet. If compared directly to factory finished aluminum oxide finish, the oil finish flooring will not perform as well to abrasion and impact. However, the beauty of this finish is the fact that it will camouflage any scratches which will inevitably accumulate over time. Will this finish evaporate over time and will this be harmful for indoor air quality? Another concern for oil finished floors its effect on indoor air quality. For on-site applications, some varieties suggest several coats which typically require the residents to be out of the home due to mild odors. However, there are factory finished UV-cured or single coat applications which lessen the downtime. Despite the odors produced during the drying process, oil finish floors rank amongst the lowest for VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. Certain brands even boast true zero VOC. This fact alone makes oil finished floors one of the best options for green building solutions. “WOCA products are certified by independent laboratories, the German Institute for Biological Building Materials, and are in accordance with DIN–Norm 53–160. WOCA WoodCare Denmark products meet or exceed the most stringent U.S. standards for volatile organic compounds.” –WOCA Oil Finish Manufacture Does this type of finish require additional maintenance which I am not familiar with? For weekly cleaning, oiled floors use a special cleaner which contains an oil and soap mixture. After a period of 12-18 months some oil may evaporate causing the wood grains to appear dry. An additional layer of oil can be reapplied to keep the floor looking fresh. Although oil finished floors require more involvement in periodic maintenance in high traffic areas, this maintenance can be done much easier than the equivalent of an onsite sand and refinish. WOCA Master Color Oil contains pigment, which provides a single-step hardwood floor staining process. Laying down the stain and the finish in one step. This product comes 14 different colors, from Black to Extra White, and you can mix them freely to create various color palettes that will meet the demands of any job. Below are some pictures of the finished job…

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.
