Building Envelope

Façade Restoration

This involves the meticulous inspection and subsequent repair or replacement of a building’s exterior walls and surfaces. At MA, our team has over 100 years of combined experience in the restoration of masonry, concrete, stucco, and curtain wall-type cladding systems. This process is critical when the façade shows signs of significant wear, damage, or structural compromise. Preparing a façade for restoration includes assessing the extent of damage, determining the need for temporary supports, and choosing appropriate materials and methods for the rehabilitation work. This ensures not only the aesthetic appeal of the building but also its safety and structural integrity, safeguarding against potential hazards such as falling debris.

Roofing & Waterproofing

The roof or waterproofing system is a vital component of the building envelope, offering protection from environmental elements. Replacement becomes necessary when moisture levels inside the system are high and occupants are beginning to experience leaks. This process involves evaluating the existing roof, pool, terrace, balcony, garage structure in selecting materials that are correct for the application, and implementing a level of detailing that ensures longevity and durability. A well-executed roof or waterproofing system replacement enhances the building’s overall integrity, energy efficiency, appearance, and quality of life for the building's residents.

Leak Investigation

Leak investigation is a critical aspect of maintaining a building’s exterior envelope, involving the detection, analysis, and mitigation of water infiltration points. This process requires a systematic approach to identify the source/s of leak, which could stem from a range of issues related to waterproofing, windows, sealant, roofing, flashing, and exterior cladding, to name a few. Timely and accurate cause-effect analysis is essential in formulating the proper mitigation and in ensuring longevity, safety, durability, and quality of life not only for the building residents but also for the longevity of your investment.
