We completed a cladding review at a unique building in Kitchener via Bosun's Chair. Little chilly, but we got it done! An arm's length review provides valuable information to our clients prior to about their cladding systems for a low cost! @EdisonEngineers

Good water shedding details are not only critical in keeping your building looking beautiful, but also in preventing excessive wetting that could cause premature deterioration and leaks @EdisonEngineers

Before and after highrise window replacement project. We increased the glass area& replaced sliding with awning operable windows. The Owners are thrilled with the improved view and performance! Let us know if you have any questions about window projects.

Downspouts should be provided with a paver or splash pad to avoid undue wear to the surface below #roofing @EdisonEngineers

Cladding staining is almost always a result of poor watershedding details that not only affect the aesthetics of your building, but can also lead to deterioration and leaks. A proactive approach will save time and future expenses! @EdisonEngineers

Photo 1 - New roof with backslope insulation at the perimeter and tapered insulation sumps at drains. Photo 2 - Other half of the roof not yet replaced. The improved drainage reduces ponding water which leads to less maintenance costs and increase service life. @EdisonEngineers

A simple test drywall test cut can often determine if a leak is a result of a leaking crack (possibly coming from a roof or mechanical penthouse above) or plumbing. @EdisonEngineers

A high concentration of communication lines and mechanical/electrical equipment can significantly increase your roof replacement costs. As Building Owner, be sure to understand if disconnect/reconnect costs are included in your quote @EdisonEngineers

When is the last time your roof inspected and cleaned? Scheduling regular roof "tune-ups" can significantly increase the service life of your roof. #roofing @EdisonEngineers

Condo buildings are not affected by the new municipal by-laws. If a condo implements their own rules for using masks in interior common areas, the owners and residents must follow the rule.
What condo owners and residents need to know about face masks and coverings. Read about it here: ow.ly/lBLC50AwV0f
