Building Restoration
Our building restoration services address structural integrity and waterproofing needs for commercial and residential properties. We specialize in concrete repairs, envelope restoration, and podium deck revitalization. With 40 years of experience, our team delivers durable solutions that enhance property value and longevity while minimizing disruption to occupants.
Curtain Injection
Curtain injection involves sealing below-grade structures using flexible gel injected through pre-drilled holes. This method prevents water ingress in parking garages, elevator pits, and tunnels without excavation. Our technicians use advanced techniques to ensure long-lasting protection for critical infrastructure.
Balcony Repairs
We provide comprehensive balcony restoration including slab replacements, waterproofing, and quiet demolition methods. Our solutions enhance safety and aesthetics while reducing noise disturbances. Services include full balcony replacements, edge repairs, and weatherproofing systems for residential and commercial buildings.
Cementitious Coatings
Our cementitious waterproofing creates durable barriers on horizontal and vertical surfaces. Applied as a cement-based slurry, this solution protects parking garages, storm tanks, and mechanical rooms from water damage. The technique combines structural protection with long-term durability for critical infrastructure.
Pool Renovations
We specialize in pool and jacuzzi retrofits that improve functionality and energy efficiency. Our services include tank refurbishment, tile installation, and dehumidification system integration. These upgrades enhance resident satisfaction while adding long-term value to multi-residential properties through modern design and efficient systems.

Report
Worked on the same work sites as them, they're unprofessional, slow and sloppy, selfish and rude. I've first-hand witnessed multiple of their employees drinking on the job while driving on-site, I've personally been threatened and verbally attacked by one of their employees, added with the fact that they're close to a year over their estimated finish date on at least one the multiple locations that they work.
