Major Exterior Renovation of a Residential Building in Ville-Marie
Protecting and Restoring the Value of a Residential Building
Exterior renovation of a residential building involves much more than improving its appearance. It also provides an opportunity to address drainage issues, replace aging components and protect the building against the elements.
Indigo Construction undertakes major residential building renovation projects in Ville-Marie and throughout Greater Montreal, coordinating structural work, drainage, roofing and exterior building envelope improvements.
A Comprehensive Renovation of the Building Envelope
On Beaudry Street in Montreal, the owners of a residential building wanted to undertake extensive exterior renovations.
Both the front and rear façades needed updating, while a drainage issue was affecting the rear terrace.
The scope of work entrusted to Indigo Construction included several major interventions:
-
Excavation and drainage improvements at the rear of the building.
-
Regrading and backfilling.
-
Replacement of the front and rear exterior cladding.
-
Reconstruction of balconies and their structural components.
-
Complete roof replacement.
-
Restoration of stairs, railings and other exterior metal components.
The objective was to address existing problems while renewing the building's main exterior components.
Drainage Improvements and Excavation of the Rear Terrace
One of the main challenges of this project involved managing water drainage at the rear of the building.
Inadequate drainage can lead to water accumulation near foundation walls, potentially causing moisture problems or water infiltration.
To address the situation, Indigo Construction excavated the affected area, carried out drainage improvements and corrected the surrounding ground slopes.
The work was then completed with backfilling and restoration of the affected surfaces.
This intervention addressed an important functional issue before proceeding with the remaining exterior renovations.
Balcony Reconstruction and Façade Renovation
The project also included balcony replacement, with work involving their structural components.
These interventions were coordinated with the replacement of the exterior cladding to ensure that all the different components were properly integrated.
Both the front and rear façades were renewed, improving the building's overall appearance while replacing aging exterior materials.
Complete Roof Replacement and Restoration of Exterior Metalwork
The building's roof was also completely replaced.
This work was part of the overall restoration of the building envelope, ensuring adequate protection against weather conditions.
The exterior stairs, railings and other metal components were also restored. The affected components were removed, treated and powder-coated before being reinstalled.
Coordinating these interventions allowed several building components to be renewed as part of one comprehensive construction project.
The Result: A Renewed and Better-Protected Building
This project on Beaudry Street demonstrates the importance of approaching exterior renovation as a complete process.
By addressing drainage issues and renewing the balconies, façades, roofing and exterior metal components, Indigo Construction helped extend the service life of the building's components while improving its overall appearance.
Coordinating these different stages allowed us to deliver a major renovation tailored to the property owners' needs.
