Saving your community from water damage, wear & tear, and more (one or all building(s) at a time)
Every great community needs a hero… and while we may not swing in on webs, we do show up before small exterior issues turn into big, expensive problems. All you need in your hero is an envelope team willing to work every day until the jobs done, on time and on budget!
At re:fab, we’re your friendly neighborhood envelope team, helping property owners and operators protect their buildings from water intrusion, structural deterioration, everyday exterior wear and tear, and more!
Because in the world of building maintenance… the real villains are leaks, rot, and surprise repair bills.
The “Building Envelope”: Your property’s first line of defense
Your building envelope is what shields your property from the elements. It includes the systems that keep water out, heat in, and residents safe and happy like:
-
Roofs
-
Siding
-
Windows & doors
-
Waterproofing systems
-
Sealants, joints, and exterior surfaces
- Decks, porches and balconies
And when the envelope starts to fail, it doesn’t always kick down the door with a dramatic entrance.
Most of the time, it starts quietly… with a crack, a gap, or a small leak, then it makes that dramatic evil entrance over time.
The re:fab mission: stop small problems before they become big ones
Building envelope issues often begin as minor wear and then escalate fast if they’re ignored (because water damage does not play fair).
That’s why proactive planning helps you:
-
Prevent water intrusion and structural damage
-
Reduce emergency repairs and surprise capital spend
-
Extend the lifespan of exterior systems
-
Improve curb appeal, resident safety, and energy efficiency
In other words… we help you stay ahead of trouble before it becomes a full-blown “code red” situation. Saving you on those emergency repair/afterhours costs.

A smarter way to plan: phased improvements (not panic repairs)
As owners and operators prepare annual and multi-year budgets, envelope work is one of the smartest areas to plan early. Why?
Because proactive improvements give you control, instead of reacting to damage and scrambling for repairs.
Our team helps clients:
-
Assess current building conditions
-
Identify priority repairs and upcoming risks
-
Build phased, multi-year improvement strategies
-
Align projects with future budgets
That means fewer surprises, more predictability, and a building that’s ready for whatever the mother nature tries to throw at it.
