PROJECT
READYRowhouse Porch & Facade Makeover in Downtown Toronto
Posted May 22, 2026
Built by HummingbirdHill Timber Solutions Inc. with 2 credited collaborators
We completed a full porch, facade, and front-yard makeover on a downtown Toronto rowhouse, featuring custom cedar finish carpentry throughout. We laid fresh cedar decking and constructed wider, relocated exterior stairs capped in Douglas fir. The front entryway was upgraded with vertical cedar cladding that neatly integrates a concealed gas-meter access panel. To maximize outdoor living space, we built a clad steel bench paired with a custom-milled cedar handrail cap, along with a privacy fence featuring a built-in bin nook to keep the front yard clean and functional.
