Protect and restore your building's exterior.

From roofing and waterproofing to stucco, painting, and caulking — we help strata and property managers keep building exteriors performing and looking their best.

Roofing

Roof investigation, repairs & replacement

The Lower Mainland's heavy rainfall makes roofing one of the most critical elements of any building. We offer the full range of roofing services — from initial investigation through emergency response and full replacement.

Roof investigation

We conduct thorough inspections to identify the source of water ingress, assess the condition of roofing materials, flashing, membranes, and drainage systems — and produce a clear report with recommended actions.

  • Visual inspection and moisture scanning
  • Flashing, membrane, and drainage assessment
  • Condition report with prioritized recommendations
  • Coordination with building envelope consultants

Leak detection & repair

Roof leaks rarely start where the water shows up inside. We trace water paths from interior staining back to the source on the roof — then repair the actual cause, not just the symptom.

  • Source tracing from interior evidence
  • Flashing and sealant repair
  • Membrane patching and re-bonding
  • Drain and scupper clearing and repair

24/7 emergency response

An active roof leak during heavy rain can cause rapid interior damage — especially in occupied buildings. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock for urgent roof leak calls.

  • Emergency tarping and temporary weatherproofing
  • Same-day on-site arrival for urgent calls
  • Coordination with restoration team if interior is affected
  • Clear communication with strata and property managers

Roof replacement

When repair is no longer practical, we manage full roof replacement — working around building occupants and coordinating with consultants, engineers, and strata timelines.

  • Torch-on, TPO, and modified bitumen systems
  • Flat and low-slope residential and commercial roofs
  • Flashing replacement and parapet waterproofing
  • Resident notification and site access coordination
Waterproofing & envelope

Building envelope repairs

In the Lower Mainland, wind-driven rain, temperature swings, and seasonal moisture put constant stress on cladding, flashings, and transitions. We help councils and property managers interpret what they're seeing, prioritize repairs, and sequence work so investigations, engineer reports, and construction stay aligned.

  • Building envelope repairs and assessment
  • Below-grade and above-grade waterproofing
  • Flashing and transition repairs
  • Balcony, deck, and patio waterproofing
  • Stucco restoration and patching
  • Exterior stair, handrail, and fencing repairs
Drainage

Drainage solutions

Inadequate drainage is a primary driver of water infiltration and building damage. We install and repair perimeter, storm, sump, and sanitary drainage systems to protect foundations and building envelopes from ongoing water damage.

  • Perimeter and storm drainage systems
  • Sump pump installation and repair
  • Sanitary and storm drain repairs
  • Surface drainage and grading
Painting & Caulking

Exterior painting & caulking

Properly applied paint and caulking are the last line of defence against moisture intrusion — and they affect how a building looks and ages. We approach both as protective systems, not just cosmetic finishes.

Exterior painting

We apply high-quality exterior coatings to stucco, concrete, wood, and composite substrates — preparing surfaces properly so paint adheres, seals, and lasts in the Lower Mainland climate.

  • Surface preparation and pressure washing
  • Crack filling and substrate repair before painting
  • Interior and exterior painting
  • Colour matching for repairs and partial recoats
  • Elastomeric and weatherproof coating systems
  • Common area, stairwell, and parkade painting

Caulking & sealants

Deteriorated or missing caulking at windows, doors, expansion joints, and penetrations is one of the most common paths for water to enter a building. Regular recaulking is one of the most cost-effective maintenance investments a strata can make.

  • Window and door perimeter recaulking
  • Expansion joint sealant replacement
  • Penetration sealing (pipes, conduit, vents)
  • Below-grade and above-grade sealant applications
  • Compatibility with existing finishes and substrates

How we approach exterior projects

A practical path from first look to finished repairs — transparent at every step.

1. Review & site walkthrough

We confirm the reported symptoms, photograph conditions, and identify likely water paths. If you already have a building envelope report or engineer's letter, we align our scope with those recommendations.

2. Scoped proposal

You receive a written scope with assumptions, exclusions, and a realistic timeline. Where multiple phasing options exist (critical repairs now vs. full reclad later), we spell out the trade-offs in plain language.

3. Coordination & permits

We coordinate with your consultant, local jurisdiction, and any required trades (scaffolding, coatings, metals, glazing partners) so approvals and inspections don't become bottlenecks.

4. Execution & close-out

Crews work to the approved details, with documented check-ins for council or management. On completion, we walk through punch items, warranty notes, and maintenance tips so the exterior keeps performing.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers about how exterior projects usually run.

Do we need an engineer before you start?

It depends on scope. Many localized repairs proceed from a consultant's report you already have. For structural interfaces, guardrails, or major recladding, an engineer or envelope consultant is often required — we'll flag that early so quotes match what councils expect.

Can you match existing stucco or coatings?

We work with your selected finishes and sample approvals where colour or texture matching matters. For heritage or specialty assemblies, we may involve a coatings supplier early in mock-ups.

How do you handle tenant communication?

We support property managers with notice templates, access schedules, and site supervisor contact info. For deck or balcony work, we coordinate closures and alternate access so residents know what to expect.

What about warranty?

Warranty terms depend on materials, manufacturer requirements, and scope. We document installed assemblies and maintenance expectations so warranty support stays clear after handover.

Do you respond to emergency roof leaks 24/7?

Yes — our 24/7 emergency line covers active roof leaks. We can dispatch for emergency tarping and stabilization, and if there's interior water damage we coordinate with our restoration team directly.
