Client overview
Balcony restoration & frame and structure restoration across a multi-residential building — completed with residents in place.
Challenge
Years of moisture infiltration had left the balconies with water-damaged, deteriorated surfaces. Behind the finishes, the structural wood framing and support posts had started to rot, while the vinyl decking and exterior siding no longer protected the assembly — putting both resident safety and the building envelope at risk.
Rotted structural beam discovered beneath the balcony.
Decking stripped to expose damaged sheathing.
Solution provided by West Vortex
We stripped each balcony back to structure — removing vinyl, railings and compromised siding — then cut out and replaced the rotted plywood and framing. A new waterproofing system was installed across the deck and envelope before re-siding, re-railing and finishing, all sequenced under a single contract to keep the building safe, occupied and on schedule.
Restored balcony structure and full exterior protection — a weather-tight envelope built to last, with railings and finishes returned to a premium standard.
