About Allweathercoating
Founded in 1986, Allweathercoating started as a window-cleaning operation on Vancouver's North Shore and grew into a full building envelope contractor as our clients kept asking one question: "Can you handle the repairs while you're up there?" Forty years later, that question has shaped everything — the same rope-access crews that wash glass also replace sealants, patch concrete, and install waterproofing membranes. We have worked through the post-leaky-condo wave of envelope remediations in the early 2000s, the shift to rainscreen buildings, and now the large-scale restoration programs hitting the concrete stock built in the 1980s and 1990s. The result is a contractor that understands why a balcony is spalling, not just how to patch it. We provide property managers and strata councils with a single point of contact for exterior building care — one crew, one schedule, one set of records for the building file.
