These materials provide an esthetically pleasing finish that is both strong and durable. HRI’s team of masonry experts have the experience, knowledge and understanding to protect, conserve and restore your masonry building or structure to the highest of standards.

HRI has specialized in historical roofing projects since 1921. We pride ourselves in understanding what it takes to produce a roof that will stand the test of time and keep the elements out. Our team of professionals are educated, experienced and they only deliver the most pristine finished product. Try us out on your next historical roofing project.

Parking Garages & Related Services

As city centers grow, the need for parking garages and structures to better accommodate increased levels of vehicular traffic also rises.

Whether precast or conventional concrete, the structural integrity of parking garages is constantly challenged by moisture, salt and thermal fluxes. Our completed projects range from small, localized repairs, to wholesale rehabilitations. We repair above grade structures, podium deck slabs and interior spaces. HRI’s team of professionals is not only well equipped to perform any necessary repairs to the structure, but also to coordinate and install the various systems that protect it.

Services include:

Infrastructure Restoration Services

Our city’s infrastructure is predominantly composed of concrete and structural steel.

These structures all experience corrosion, and require both repair and protective applications. We have restored The CN Tower, Water Tanks across the province, Water Treatment Plants, Wastewater Treatment Plants, Bridges, Underground and Above Ground Public Transportation Facilities, Stadiums and more. We have encountered and overcame many of the challenges presented by our aging infrastructure.
