Like the ghost of Christmas past, the winter months are stressful for commercial property and facility managers. Winter’s cycle of freeze-thaw-freeze-repeat weakens masonry, causing leaks and structural damage. Don’t wait for warmer weather when you see water stains, crumbling concrete, or other signs that your commercial building needs repair.
Let McGill Restoration’s masonry specialists help you prepare and repair your commercial building today and all winter long.

The Truth About Winter Property Repair
There are three myths about winter structure repairs:
- You cannot perform masonry repairs in the winter.
- It’s too expensive to repair your building in the winter.
- It takes longer for repairs in the winter.
As experts in both masonry and winter weather, we assure you that it’s not only doable but more profitable for you when you fix those problems today.
We Use Specially Designed Products for Winter Masonry Repairs
Most of our winter masonry focuses on repairing and replacing exterior control joints for concrete, precast, and brick structures. Freezing nights and warmer daytime temperatures cause concrete and masonry to expand and contract. This expansion and contraction can cause cracking, leaking, and potentially dangerous issues.
McGill Restoration uses high-quality products that are designed specifically for cold weather.
It’s Less Expensive to Repair in Winter
Spring, summer, and fall are busy seasons for construction and restoration. Demand for material and labor is higher in warmer weather. In winter, however, the construction industry slows. Because of this seasonal shift, we can pass off-season savings onto our clients for winter repairs.
Winter Repairs Offer Shorter Lead Times, Faster Results
Our winter lead time is shorter, with as little as 24 hours between when you call and when we arrive on-site. Unlike other restoration companies, McGill Restoration is committed to keeping our dedicated, highly trained workers on staff year-round. You get an entire crew who are 100 percent committed to completing winter repairs with the highest level of quality and satisfaction.
Checklist: Is Your Building Ready for Winter?
Property managers worry about wintertime leaking, buckling, and crumbling due to extreme temperatures and moisture. Most leaks occur at windows or where two different materials connect – such as brick that touches metal or wood next to concrete. These joints and seams need pliable but sturdy material to protect your building’s structural integrity.
Use our downloadable checklist to make sure your structure is ready for winter.
Cold Weather Repairs for a Win-Win Winter
Delaying masonry repairs for warmer weather can be an expensive decision. Once masonry erodes and crumbles, sleet, snow, and rain seep down your exterior walls and into your building’s interior and structure. When that happens, you’re looking at considerable expense, not to mention disruption and downtime for the building owner, operator, and occupants.
You don’t have to repeat last winter’s leaks and problems. Let McGill Restoration use our cold weather application materials to fix your building today and all winter long.
