When Property Managers Need Masonry Repair
In our experience, here are some common situations when commercial masonry services are needed:
- Vehicle impacts: Trucks regularly damage storefronts and loading docks due to accidents. These impacts often damage brick, CMU, or veneer and can also require substantial loading dock repairs.
- Water damage: Unaddressed water issues can have catastrophic impacts on your block and brickwork. In these situations, property managers might have to invest in repointing or partial rebuilds.
- Code upgrades: All buildings in Ontario must comply with the Ontario Building Code. If you are the property manager responsible for a suite or building turnover, it is common to discover that existing structures do not meet current standards. A commercial masonry contractor can assist with upgrades to ensure you and your building are compliant.
Insider Tips for Property Managers
First time looking for a commercial masonry contractor? It can be overwhelming, especially if you aren’t familiar with these services. When preparing to contact a masonry company in Ontario, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Ask about commercial work. While residential and commercial masonry share the same principles, you should ensure your contractor has completed commercial masonry services in the past. This way, you can guarantee that your contractor understands the materials, scope, and requirements of your project.
- Inquire about their process. Do they provide upfront quotes? Will they work outside of peak hours to help minimize downtime?
- Check local experience and certifications. You want to place your trust in a contracting company that is reputable, well-reviewed, and trusted.
- Ask if they offer other services. As we’ve already discussed, masonry repair is often paired with other upgrades like concrete services, bollard installation, or loading dock work. Property managers can save themselves both time and money by opting for a contractor who offers all these services in-house.
