In Montreal, where the climate puts our buildings to the test, waterproofing is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity. Every element of your roof plays a crucial role in protecting your investment, and among the most important are the roof parapets. Often discreet, these tinsmithing works are nevertheless the first line of defense against water infiltration that silently threatens the structure of your property.
Since 1991, CAM Construction has developed unparalleled expertise in the design, installation, and restoration of roof parapets throughout the metropolis. Whether for a simple and functional parapet or for the reproduction of a molded parapet on a heritage building, our mission remains the same: to ensure durable protection and an impeccable finish, faithful to the architecture of your building.
The choice of materials and the installation technique are decisive for the durability of a roof parapet. We exclusively use top-quality metals, such as 26-gauge steel, for their robustness and resistance to corrosion. Our mastery of interlocking, caulking, and waterproofing membrane integration techniques ensures flawless protection, even in the harshest Montreal weather conditions.
Working on a building in boroughs like Le Plateau-Mont-Royal or Outremont requires a thorough knowledge of urban planning regulations. Our team assists you in the process of obtaining permits and ensures that the work complies with local architectural requirements. We can also guide you towards the subsidies available for the restoration of heritage buildings.
The trust of our clients is our priority. That is why we offer complete warranties on our materials and our labor. Each project is carried out with unparalleled attention to detail, ensuring durable protection and an impeccable finish. Our reputation, built on more than 10,000 projects since 1991, is your best guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions about Roof Parapets
The lifespan depends on the materials and the quality of the installation. A 26-gauge steel parapet, installed by professionals like those at CAM Construction, can easily last between 20 and 30 years with minimal maintenance.
Signs of wear include traces of rust, cracks in the caulking, moisture stains on the facade, or sections of metal that appear deformed or detached. If you observe any of these signs, a quick inspection is recommended.
In most cases, yes. Work affecting the exterior envelope of a building requires a permit, especially in boroughs with strict urban planning regulations. CAM Construction can assist you with these procedures.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more resistant the metal. A 26-gauge metal is therefore more robust and durable than a 28-gauge one. We systematically recommend 26-gauge for optimal protection against Montreal’s weather.
Galvanized or pre-painted steel and aluminum are excellent choices for most residential applications due to their durability and resistance to corrosion. The final choice will depend on the location and the desired aesthetic.
