Mahogany Deck and Rails. This was a complete demo/gut of a 40 year old redwood deck that was failing. The beams and framing were all rotted and weathered. We executed a complete gut and replaced with high end Mahogany that came out beautifully.

It’s fairly common for owners of older properties – especially houses those that are over 100 years old or more – to find original Victorian tiled flooring hidden underneath carpet. It can wait years for the tiles to be discovered, by which time they have amassed huge amounts of dirt and dust. Such was the case at this property in Bridlington, a Yorkshire town through which a stream known as the ‘Gypsey Race’ runs, before emptying in the North Sea at the Bridlington Harbour. Interestingly enough, folklore says that when the stream is flowing, bad fortune is at hand. The stream must not have been running on the day that we restored this Victorian hallway, as we managed to achieve some truly fantastic results!! The hallway had been severely dulled after going years without professional care. We set about giving it the thorough clean and fresh seal that I’d des partly needed. Here’s how we did it. Our first task was to remove any old, no longer effectual sealer. We did this by liberally applying a strong dilution of our alkaline-based Tile a Doctor Pro Clean, which doubles as a reliable cleaner and a stripper capable of stripping away old sealer. The product was worked into the tiles using a black stripping pad fitted to a 17″ rotary machine, and the process was repeated three times. I noticed that there was still some stubborn dirt and old sealer around the edges of the hallway, so I used some of our handheld diamond encrusted burnishing blocks to grind it away. To finish the cleaning process, we washed the floor with Tile Doctor pH Neutral Tile Cleaner, leaving it fresh and ready to be sealed once left to dry overnight. Upon our return to the property the next day, we ran some quick tests to check for any excess moisture (even a small amount could have damaged the performance of the new sealer). Once satisfied with the the condition of the floor, we proceeded to see it with an impregnating sealer, meaning a sealer that penetrates into the pores of the tile to fill them and therefore prevent trapped dirt and ingrained stains. Our impregnating sealer, Tile Doctor Colour Grow, has the added benefit of being colour intensifying, which really highlights the unique colourful patterns of the tiles. To give the floor a durable sheen finish, as requested by the customer, we also added a coat of Tile Doctor Seal and Go sealer. The result was a complete transformation of the condition and appearance of this great Victorian tiled hallway. Our customer is very pleased – the floor is now a complete asset to any property, and will now be easier to keep looking great in future. Ronnie Phipps East Yorkshire Tile Doctor

This is what you’ll see if you step through the back door of my 100-year-old home. The back yard is terraced by a large raised planter that spans the width of the lots for both the main house and the guest house. The raised bed is planted from end to end with upright growing rosemary, which provides a beautiful uninterrupted horizontal line of gorgeous green year round. Three Italian cypress trees are also in the planter and offer a nice vertical transition between the two levels. A stone seating bench integrated into the wall of the raised planting bed creates lots of great seating for outdoor entertaining. Among other details, a beautiful yucca plant in Impruneta terra cotta urn with handles sits on the stone bench. I hope you’re enjoying these photos that celebrate my home’s centennial year.

The builder was www.tartan-builders.com and they did a phenomenal job executing what we wanted. We went for a "modern farmhouse" look with French touches. Hosting holidays this year was only successful due to my efficient BlueStar.

The colors from the wallpaper are repeated in the green paint and blue Ann Saks tile. This boldness is balanced by the sleek white Ikea cabinets, countertops and stainless steel hardware. The large copper pendants add warmth to the space and coordinate with the dark blue and light green jewel tones. Photographer: Lauren Edith Andersen

Our clients approached us with the challenge of protecting their existing roof deck from further water intrusion as well as to make the space more usable throughout the year. The solution was to rework the drainage and scuppers, put a new membrane roof down over the framing and further protect it with a new hardwood (IPE) sleeper deck that handles the elements and foot traffic beautifully. A steel canopy roof structure was designed to further protect the roof deck and those occupying it. The next addition will be bolt-on 'storm windows' to extend the roof deck season and knock down the Jet City Jet-stream.
