Winter tarping and building envelope in Pickering

Winter scaffolding tarping in Pickering

Open, newly graded sites with few finished buildings around them can be exposed to wind, and that's when tarp fastening and a closed base matter most. We secure tarps to the scaffold frame, overlap seams and seal the base so the enclosure holds heat and keeps masonry at the 5 °C the Ontario Building Code requires during laying and for 48 hours after. After strong winds, we return to re-secure. See winter scaffolding tarping in Pickering.

Tarping Seaton phases

The City of Pickering plans Seaton for about 61,000 residents, with a long-term population of about 70,000. A Durham District School Board report states that by June 2024 more than 1,800 of the more than 26,000 homes proposed in Seaton had been built, and more than 3,000 building permits had been issued. With that much still to come, production builders in Seaton need winter programmes that cover many lots at once. We plan tarping as a rolling programme across a phase: install ahead of the masons, re-secure through the winter and strip as each block finishes.

Building envelope, insulation, brick ties and PDI washing in Pickering

• Tyvek house wrap installation in Pickering and Blueskin air barrier installation in Pickering within our building envelope service
• Exterior insulation for new homes in Pickering to your designer's specification
• Brick tie installation in Pickering with pre-bent ties and 76 mm nails
• New construction power washing in Pickering scheduled from your closing calendar

On multi-lot Seaton work, one of the most useful things a site super can send us is the order the masons will move through the phase. With that, we can tarp homes just ahead of the masonry crew, install brick ties an elevation in advance and plan PDI washing to follow the closing calendar, so each trade finds the house ready when they arrive.

How scheduling works in Pickering

Pickering is in Durham Region, east of York Region, so we plan Pickering work as full-day or multi-day visits and group homes by phase. For Seaton programmes, send the lot list and masonry dates and we'll schedule installs, re-secure visits and strips to match. We also work in Markham and Toronto to the west.
