Heritage Hook

In Montreal, stone facades are more than just an envelope. They tell the story of our boroughs, from Old Montreal to Outremont, through the Plateau-Mont-Royal to Hochelaga. These walls of stone, old brick, and traditional mortar are a reflection of a heritage that we have a duty to preserve.

Since 1991, CAM Construction has specialized in the restoration of these heritage facades. We are not just contractors. We are guardians of Montreal’s heritage, armed with rare expertise and a passion for ancestral techniques.

Our Expertise in Stone Facade Restoration

The restoration of a stone facade cannot be improvised. It requires in-depth knowledge of noble materials, traditional masonry techniques, and the specific heritage requirements of each Montreal borough.
 
At CAM Construction, we rely on the talent of our expert masons who master the refurbishment of bricks with varied relief and designed stones. These craftsmen excel in identifying damage, selecting appropriate materials, and carrying out work that scrupulously respects the architectural integrity of your building. Each intervention is carried out according to best practices, in compliance with the heritage standards of the City of Montreal.
 
Our approach combines respect for the past with the best contemporary practices. We use lime mortars, gentle cleaning techniques, and materials compatible with historic structures to ensure a durable and aesthetically faithful restoration.

Types of Materials: Stone, Brick and Mortar

Each heritage facade in Montreal has unique characteristics. We work on three fundamental aspects: cut stone, old brick, and traditional mortar.
 

Expertise in Materials & Techniques

Our expertise extends to the mastery of traditional materials specific to Montreal's heritage. We know how to identify and work with cut stone, period bricks with varied relief, and adapted mortars, ensuring that any intervention respects the architectural integrity of your facade. Our two expert masons excel in the precise cutting, fitting, and replacement of these noble materials, where every detail counts.

Heritage & Grants

We are aware of the specific regulations for heritage boroughs such as the Plateau-Mont-Royal, Old Montreal, and Outremont. We can advise you on accepted materials and techniques, and guide you towards local grants available for the restoration of heritage facades. The City of Montreal's Restoration Assistance Program can finance up to 30% of your eligible work.

Comprehensive Warranties

All our work is covered by a comprehensive warranty, ensuring you total peace of mind. Our adherence to the strictest standards and our experience of over 35 years are proof of our commitment to the quality and durability of our interventions. You are investing in a restoration that will last for decades.

Signs of Wear and When to Intervene

Recognizing the warning signs of a deteriorating facade is crucial to avoiding more significant damage. Crumbling mortar, cracks in the joints, loose bricks, or water infiltration are all indicators that an intervention is necessary.
 
A neglected facade can quickly become a costly structural problem. That’s why we recommend regular inspection, particularly in boroughs where buildings are older and exposed to the weather. If you observe traces of humidity, efflorescence (white deposits), or degraded joints, contact us for a free diagnosis. We will accurately assess the condition of your facade and propose a suitable restoration plan.

Comprehensive Support: From Diagnosis to Permits

Restoring a heritage facade in Montreal can seem complex. That’s why CAM Construction offers you a Turnkey service that covers all the crucial stages of your project.
 
We take care of the permit application from A to Z. We prepare the workshop plans, the technical drawings, and we take care of submitting the application to your borough, in compliance with local requirements. Our experience with the different boroughs of Montreal allows us to navigate these administrative processes efficiently, saving you delays and complications.
 
We also inform you about available grants and guide you through the steps to benefit from them. Our rigorous follow-up ensures coordination with municipal authorities and the logistical management of the site. From mobilization to demobilization, we manage public domain occupancy permits and ensure a clean and safe site. You have a single point of contact who keeps you informed at every stage.
