We stripped off the existing roof and inspected all deck boards for water damage or rot. To prevent water damage from ice dams or a driving rain, Ice Dam and Water Shield was installed along all the rakes, eves, vent pipes, chimney, dormers and skylights. This roof is ready for the next blizzard, nor’easter or hurricane! (Speaking of hurricanes – our GAF Timberline HD Lifetime Roofing system can sustain winds up to 130 mile per hour!) Drip edge was installed along the rakes to improve water shedding efficiency – it pushes water off the roof and away from the home. It also prevents water penetration from a wind-driven rain and deters insects.Underlayment, a felt/paper product, was installed on the entire roof for additional protection between the roofing shingles and roof deck. GAF Pro-Start Eave/Rake Starter Strip was installed for maximum wind resistance. (You can learn more about Starter Course Shingles by reading this roofing blog) A GAF Cobra Ridge Vent was installed to allow proper ventilation of moisture and heat in the attic. This helps prevent mold and ice damming (since we’re talking ice dams – here are a few helpful ice dam protection tips) This GAF roof is featured in Williamsburg Slate, a beautiful color-blended, architectural shingle.

The six-panel NanaWall NW Wood 540 was customized with elegant Pine wood frames to perfectly complement the exterior envelope and interior design features. This wood framed bifold door elevates the contemporary pool house feel of the space with thin, minimal frames and a barefoot-friendly Low Profile Saddle sill. For optimal year-round function, the system was specified with a convenient swing door to provide quick indoor-outdoor access when the panels are closed. As a Generation 4 folding glass door, the system is designed to offer the smoothest operation, allowing the homeowners to easily open or close the pool house based on the needs of the day. From Summer to Winter: Year-Round Indoor-Outdoor Living To create a true four-season retreat, the wood framed bifold door was specified with double-glazed panels. This would ensure optimal thermal comfort by keeping the contemporary pool house space warm in winter without breaking the visual connection to the outdoors. The system’s quadruple laminated wood adds another layer of energy efficiency and strength against seasonal weather. “The homeowners love the flow between the pool house and pool area,” says PSW. “Even when it snows, the homeowners talked about how nice it would be to be in the pool house and enjoy the beauty of snowfall from inside with amazing views provided by the NanaWall.” This Fox Chapel backyard perfectly embodies the very essence of indoor-outdoor living. What was once an outdated pool and shed has been reimagined into a contemporary pool house and outdoor entertaining area that sits in harmony with its natural surroundings. Seamlessly connected through the NanaWall wood framed bifold door, the indoor-outdoor spaces merge into one, creating a luxurious backyard retreat for laid-back living and memorable gatherings. “The homeowners are absolutely in love with the finished project. This has made their outdoor living experience so much more enjoyable,” says PSW. “Everyone involved with the project exceeded expectations, and PSW is honored to be a part of bringing this dream to reality.” Discover how other indoor-outdoor spaces leverage NanaWall wood framed bifold doors in our inspiring project library! https://www.nanawall.com/blog/luxury-outdoor-living-design-and-wood-framed-bifold-door-create-serene-escape

You might have heard the expression “strong as Oak” somewhere before. Although this saying might make you think it is talking about the strong physical attributes of the tree; like the storm-resistant trunk or the strong root system, it is actually referring to something deeper than that. Five Star Tree Services is here to dive deep into the ancient history of this magnificent tree! Throughout Greek mythology and time, the Oak tree has continuously been represented as a symbol of wisdom. It has also been the embodiment of time, strength, and wisdom. The Greeks have linked the oldest oak tree, which surpassed 300 years old, as Zeus, the God of Thunder. When we talk about this tree outside of all the symbolism it represents, it also has many other useful uses for us and animals as well. This includes things like having a strong root system that aids against erosion, producing acorns that feed farm animals, very strong wood that we can use for furniture, bringing beauty to any yard, and being a good home for wildlife. This particular tree is easy to spot amongst many others. You can depict an Oak tree by the iconic broad canopy, multi pointed leaves, and strong branches coming from the trunk. At full maturity, these trees stretch out as much as they get tall. Meaning that these trees are perfect for hanging swings, providing plenty of shade, or partake in a lovely family picnic. Oak trees are probably the most well-known and famous trees in the world. This is due to all the people who love the overall look of the tree, history, and symbolism. This tree is depicted throughout history and also has appeared in some of Hollywood’s movies. You may have seen the movie Forrest Gump and might have noticed a big beautiful tree with a couple different scenes. The Oak tree appears in the movie for the scene where Forrest and Jenny are kids and sitting on a low hanging branch. In another scene, you get to see a row of oaks and the iconic scene of “run Forrest, run”. As well as at the end of the movie where Forrest has Jenny buried. Throughout this movie, the Oak tree symbolizes strength and at-home consistency. If you are thinking about planting one of these majestic trees, you are going to need to seriously consider the placement of the permanent location where this tree will stay for its whole life. You need to think about the future growth of this tree and make accommodations for how big and wide it will get. This means thinking hundreds of years into the future and planning accordingly. Maintaining this magnificent tree is a necessity for its longevity, overall aesthetic, and for safety reasons. It will require a full pruning every couple of years and yearly fertilization in order to give the Oak tree the best care possible and to help it last many lifetimes. How Five Star Tree Service Can Help Oak trees are very symbolic, strong, and beautiful trees. When given enough room for growth, they are perfect for any home! This tress will leave a legacy for many generations to see and behold. If you have been contemplating adding this beautiful tree to your property, Five Star Tree Services would love to help you with our Toronto Tree Planting services! Our highly knowledgeable team will be able to assist you in choosing the perfect location for this tree and of course, planting it for you!

Bathroom - small 1960s master white tile and ceramic tile porcelain tile and white floor bathroom idea in Vancouver with flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, a two-piece toilet, white walls and wood countertops

Our clients for this project are a professional couple with a young family. They approached us to help with extending and improving their home in London SW2 to create an enhanced space both aesthetically and functionally for their growing family. We were appointed to provide a full architectural and interior design service, including the design of some bespoke furniture too. A core element of the brief was to design a kitchen living and dining space that opened into the garden and created clear links from inside to out. This new space would provide a large family area they could enjoy all year around. We were also asked to retain the good bits of the current period living spaces while creating a more modern day area in an extension to the rear. It was also a key requirement to refurbish the upstairs bathrooms while the extension and refurbishment works were underway. The solution was a 21m2 extension to the rear of the property that mirrored the neighbouring property in shape and size. However, we added some additional features, such as the projecting glass box window seat. The new kitchen features a large island unit to create a workspace with storage, but also room for seating that is perfect for entertaining friends, or homework when the family gets to that age. The sliding folding doors, paired with floor tiling that ran from inside to out, created a clear link from the garden to the indoor living space. Exposed brick blended with clean white walls creates a very contemporary finish throughout the extension, while the period features have been retained in the original parts of the house.
