We’re a trusted partner for professionals tackling complex projects with method, rigour, and precision. Our meticulous approach and attention to detail help enhance the performance and longevity of buildings across Québec.
Our skilled carpenters and joiners work on a wide range of building envelopes, from complex façades and curved structures to 40-storey towers. Our expertise is just as effective on heritage buildings as it is on modern constructions.
Working on building envelopes in occupied spaces requires precision, discretion, and the ability to anticipate. Through careful planning and tailored work methods, we ensure a clean, safe job site that respects the daily routines of occupants.
Tomico excels in exterior finish restoration: whether it’s masonry, metal cladding, wood, or acrylic, we have the in-house expertise or trusted subcontractors. For many years, we’ve collaborated with carefully selected subcontractors to ensure the quality of our work.
Following the professional’s recommendations of the proposed corrections, we promote the implementation of so-called prototype work. The goal is to proceed in a conservative way: a targeted opening to confirm the origin of the disorder and the corrective method.
For the sampling to be meaningful, it needs to cover a large enough area to include as many finish elements as possible and reveal potential issues. While its main purpose is to identify problems and determine the right fixes, the prototype is built following a core principle at Tomico: Fix it once—fix it right.
In order to prevent budget overruns, a thorough planning phase is required. It must, in particular, enable the identification of any unexpected findings during work of this nature. Furthermore, detailed documentation of all the interventions is essential, both to ensure the follow-up of the project and to compile a convincing technical file in case of need.
Our know-how and our social skills allow us to build long-term relationships with our clients. Once the prototyping phase is completed, our rigorous work methodology allows us to move on to the execution of the works on the entire building.
Building envelope restoration involves a range of work aimed at repairing, correcting, or improving all exterior elements that protect a building from weather, water infiltration, heat loss, and the wear of time. A damaged building envelope can lead to water infiltration, mould and interior deterioration, reduced energy efficiency, or a decline in the building’s value.
At Tomico, every restoration project begins with a thorough assessment, often supported by sampling or a prototype, to accurately target the necessary interventions. We then carefully plan the work, taking into account site conditions, budget, required materials, and the daily routines of occupants when working in inhabited buildings.
