THE ENVELOPE IS WHAT PROTECTS EVERYTHING ELSE
The building envelope is the first line of defense against water, frost, and wind. When it fails, problems quickly accumulate: infiltrations, molds, loss of energy efficiency, structural degradation.
We work on all components of the masonry envelope: complete facades, window spills, steel lintels, corner angles, flashings and caulking joints. Each intervention is planned to address the problem at the source, not just on the surface.

Everything you need to know about the building envelope
Does MBNL work on commercial buildings to repair the envelope?
Yes. We carry out envelope repair work on residential and commercial buildings. Commercial sites benefit from the same technical rigor, the same site supervision and the same written guarantee than residential construction sites.
Does the renovation of the envelope improve the energy performance of the building?
Yes. Replacing cracked spandrels, degraded lintels, and rusty angles eliminates thermal bridges and air infiltration routes that increase heating costs. A healthy and watertight envelope contributes directly to a better energy performance of the building. Contact us at 438.225.2169 for a free inspection of your envelope.
What does the renovation of the building envelope consist of?
Envelope repair covers all work aimed at restoring or replacing the exterior components of a building that ensure its watertightness and structural strength. This includes in particular the replacement of Alleges (panels under the windows), lintels (load-bearing elements above the openings) and Angles (metal supports of the first rows of brick). These elements, which are often overlooked, are crucial in preventing water ingress and maintaining the integrity of the wall.
How do I know if my building envelope needs repair?
Plusieurs signes indiquent que l'enveloppe doit être inspectée : infiltrations d'eau aux fenêtres, fissures autour des ouvertures, linteaux corrodés ou déformés, briques fissurées en couronnement de fenêtres ou de portes, et cornières rouillées visibles. Notre équipe effectue un diagnostic complet sur place sous 48 heures pour évaluer l'état des composantes et vous recommander les travaux prioritaires.
How do I request a diagnosis of my building envelope?
Call us at 438.225.2169 or fill out the form on our site. Our team moves under 48 hours to inspect the condition of the spandrels, lintels and angles of your building. You then receive a detailed quotation within 24 hours with priority work, schedule and guarantees. The diagnosis is free and without commitment.
What is the typical duration of an envelope repair project?
The duration varies according to the extent of the work. The precise schedule is indicated in your quote, provided under 24 hours after diagnosis. A targeted intervention on the lintels or angles of a duplex can be completed in a few days; a complete renovation of a multi-unit building can take several weeks.
