The exterior of a property affects both appearance and protection. Façade renovation can address worn finishes, water exposure, damaged surfaces, dated details and the relationship between the building and its outdoor areas.
Before applying new finishes, assess cracking, moisture, failed coatings, joints, exposed details and other signs of deterioration.
Understand whether visible defects are surface-level or require deeper repair.
Trace exposure and failed protection before recoating.
Select render, paint, stone or other finishes for the substrate and exposure.
Coordinate windows, doors, shading and railings with the envelope.
Waterproofing, roof interfaces, parapets, balconies, joints, terraces and paving all meet the façade and can influence long-term performance.
Resolve vulnerable interfaces before decorative finishes.
Choose exterior materials around strong sun and maintenance.
Coordinate falls, levels and thresholds.
Integrate rails, windows, doors and shading with the façade.
Review existing exterior conditions.
