What are the repair and restoration stages for old apartment buildings?
Restoring masonry on a duplex, triplex or apartment block requires rigorous planning and methods adapted to the materials and complexity of the building. At Restaure-Action, we ensure that our work is durable, discreet and respectful of the original style.
1. Building inspection and needs assessment
We carry out a complete exterior wall inspection to:
Detect cracks, disintegrated joints, splintered or deformed bricks;
Identify areas showing signs of underbelly or instability;
We also analyze the site’s safety and accessibility conditions.
2. Site planning and preparation
Before starting work, we :
Deploy scaffolding or platforms according to height and available space;
Protect balconies, windows, entrances and surrounding vegetation;
Coordinate interventions to minimize inconvenience to occupants and neighbors.
3. Targeted repair work
Depending on the diagnosis, we carry out :
Removal and replacement of deteriorated bricks or stones;
Traditional or contemporary repointing, depending on the age of the building;
Invisible structural reinforcements, if stability is at stake (e.g. metal anchors, consolidation).
4. Finishing and visual harmonization
On completion of the work, we ensure that:
The new mortar is perfectly integrated with the existing (color, texture, type of joint);
Openings are well caulked and sealed;
Surfaces are cleaned gently, without damaging the brick or leaving marks.
