Masonry/precast repair
Masonry, brick, and precast are often used in designer projects since they bring aesthetic value and a unique touch to the overall look. Like any other surface and material, it needs timely maintenance, to ensure presentability and structural soundness.
Quality brick repair projects involve a lot of knowledge and experience, so repairs are almost seamless. When maintenance is required, it can be addressed in two ways: full replacement (if the material is seriously damaged by weather conditions and other factors), or tuckpointing for damaged brick and mortar. Tuckpointing is a better technique than simple mortar repair since it helps improve the aesthetic while keeping the project within a lower budget.
Our expert masons will find the right brick colors, textures, and sizes to match your existing bricks. We not only fix the brick damage, we protect the area from future damage and erosion by ensuring water is draining away from the affected area and not sitting on the surface. PDI offers a wide range of services within this area of expertise, including but not limited to: brick repair, brick replacement, mortar joint repair, tuckpointing, and masonry foundation repair.
PDI can fix such issues now and prevent them in the future.
Window/door replacement
When windows and doors age, they become drafty, hard to operate, and may even develop mold. These old or damaged windows and doors make your home unsafe, as well as negatively impact its energy efficiency. Window replacement is an effective means to decrease heating and cooling costs. And new doors will provide you with security and safety for your home.
Depending on the condition of the windows or doors that require attention, there are two approaches: full replacement or partial.
Full replacement is conducted when there is a lot of damage to the structure and material. With this approach window glass, frame, and sash are removed and replaced.
Partial replacement is a less invasive and cost-effective approach, it leaves the frame intact but covers it with a panning system or trim. The old window is then replaced with a new window, which is installed into the renovated existing panning system.
PDI conducts all types of replacements and always choose the best quality products within a price range that is acceptable to the customer.
Metal cladding replacement
Metal sheet cladding is a popular type of outside covering has been around for years. It can be made of a variety of materials and does an excellent job of protecting both the inside and outside of a building. Apart from providing structural protection, clean, neat, and shiny metal cladding vastly improves the visual appeal of a building. Metal cladding is an excellent choice for both protection and bringing aesthetic value; however, due to the constant exposure to wind, snow, rain, and sunshine it requires timely and professional maintenance.
Depending on the condition of the metal sheets, there are two methods: cleaning and replacement.
Cleaning is a sufficient solution for stained, dirty, or spoiled metal cladding sheets.
While full replacement is used in a more complicated situation when only removal and brand-new installation can ensure that there is no underlying damage to the building that coating or cleaning might fail to reveal. Additionally, this method can definitely add some value to the property through improved visual appeal.

Balcony restoration
A balcony is a great way to enjoy outdoor space in a busy city. Even prior to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, balconies added value to a property and for the majority of the tenants were a decisive factor in choosing one property over the other. Now, with the implementation of social distancing rules, they have become a vital part of the mental and emotional wellbeing of the residents.
Due to the essence of their nature, balconies are constantly exposed to the weather, and the Canadian climate causes them to receive a significant amount of damage. Furthermore, structural damage can also occur in cases of a house fire or some natural disaster, such as earthquakes.

Caulking replacement
Over time, any building even if constructed with the premium quality materials develops cracks, which can jeopardize the soundness of the structure, waterproofness, and temperature insulation. Caulking provides water, shrink and crack-proof closure to building openings. Such major projects as calking replacement requires a team of experienced professionals.
To achieve the best results, it is vital not just to apply the correct technique, but also to choose the appropriate type of material. Application of the inappropriate material can result in shrinkage and cracking over time, allowing gaps for air and water to seep through and lead to water damage, mold growth, and higher energy bills due to the damaged insulation. Timely and professional maintenance can save you time, nerves, and money.
