Here are the main steps our team follows to ensure a durable, aesthetic result that complies with heritage requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Building condition assessment:<\/strong> in-depth inspection of facade and walls to identify cracked bricks, damaged joints, water infiltration and signs of deformation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analysis of heritage and regulatory constraints:<\/strong> Verification of the building&#8217;s heritage status, PIA (Plan d&#8217;implantation et d&#8217;int\u00e9gration architecturale) obligations, and coordination with local authorities if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Site preparation:<\/strong> Safe site set-up (scaffolding, protection of architectural features, etc.), taking into account the building&#8217;s visibility and the requirements of the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaning and removal of damaged materials<\/strong>: Careful removal of damaged or unstable bricks and loose mortar, without damaging the remaining materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replacement or reintegration of bricks: <\/strong>Selection of bricks similar to the original (shade, format, texture) to preserve the uniformity of the facing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Traditional repointing:<\/strong> Application of a mortar compatible with the period of construction (often lime-based), with profile and color adapted to the original style.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finishing and protection: <\/strong>High-quality caulking around openings (windows, sills), replacement of flashings or metal elements where necessary, and final cleaning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each project is unique, requiring precise diagnosis and rigorous execution. This approach preserves the building&#8217;s historical integrity while ensuring its longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have a heritage building to restore in Montr\u00e9al?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrust your project to a team familiar with old materials, legal requirements and the intricacies of Montreal architecture.
