Sun and homes in Port Colborne

Matching original woodwork
With 55% of homes this old, many still have stained trim and doors. Name the stain, or send a photo of the trim beside a window, and we match the shutters to it. Poplar's colour varies from board to board, so a stained shutter looks like natural wood rather than one flat colour.
Bought to stay
Owners live in 73% of homes here. A stain can be refreshed or painted over in years to come, which a factory-coloured vinyl shutter can't.
Cold winters
A stain sinks into the wood instead of forming a layer on top, so a stained shutter moves with the seasons just as a painted one does. Keep winter humidity reasonable and both finishes stay sound.
