Front balconies with watertight tongue-and-groove aluminum decking and railling.
- Rosemont
- Montréal 2026
On this residential plex, we rebuilt the stacked balconies at the front of the building: the ground-floor balcony and the one upstairs. Work began once the city permit was issued.
Our crew handled the balcony carpentry, then installed aluminum decking. A black soffit was added under the upper balcony for a clean finish seen from the street. The black welded aluminum railings were fabricated to fit the balconies.
The result: two straight, sturdy balconies, simple railings that suit the brick and windows, and a tidier facade.

Learn more about this project
A welded aluminum railing is made of parts joined by welding rather than screws. It forms one rigid piece with no hardware to loosen over time, and aluminum does not rust. It is a common choice for front balconies in Montréal.
Smart tip
Before rebuilding a front balcony, check with your borough: a permit is often required. Once the work is done, a simple wash with soapy water on the decking and railings each spring helps keep everything in good shape.
