Cumaru (Brazilian Teak) Porch in Peekskill, NY

This incredible historical restoration in Peekskill, New York, replaced the flooring on a 127-year-old porch with premium 5/4x4 Cumaru tongue-and-groove decking. Sometimes referred to as Brazilian Teak, Cumaru is the ultimate choice for historic porches because its extreme density prevents the cupping, warping, and rot that quickly destroy traditional fir or pine floors over time.

The meticulous installation utilized joist tape, stainless steel screws, and high-quality end-grain sealer to guarantee maximum longevity. To seamlessly blend the new floor with the original 19th-century architecture, the homeowner brilliantly used hardwood drops to craft custom trim pieces for the aging pillar bases.
