A-1 Restoration

What A-1 Restoration does

A-1 Restoration is a privately held Canadian specialty contractor providing exterior restoration and building envelope services for multi-residential and commercial buildings. Founded in 1985 (incorporated as A-1 Restoration Building Envelope Solutions Inc.) by Peter Boone in Komoka, Ontario, the company operates from a headquarters at 100 Huron Ave and a warehouse facility in Strathroy, with projects completed across Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan.

The firm delivers six integrated service lines: Building Envelope Restoration, Fenestration Systems, Foundation Restoration, Parking Garage Restoration, Roofing Restoration, and Structural Restoration. Underlying capability rests on skilled trades executing concrete repair, waterproofing, cladding/façade systems, glazing assemblies, roofing assemblies (single-ply, multi-ply, modified bitumen, built-up), and structural reinforcement across reinforced concrete, precast, timber, and cold-form steel. Projects are managed in close partnership with engineering firms, with A-1 acting as the contracting execution layer translating engineering specifications into field work; leadership explicitly differentiates the firm from a labor brokerage.

The business model is project-based, with one-time contract fees sized to scope. Individual projects range from approximately $50,000 for foundation work up to $3 million to $5 million or more for major structural and garage restorations, with the firm completing 100+ projects annually. Customers are segmented across four core verticals — building and asset managers, condominium corporations, engineering firms, and property developers — reached through a direct sales motion, founder/owner relationships, referrals, and industry association memberships (FRPO, Professional Engineers Ontario, Building Science, Greater Toronto Apartment Association). The company is founder-owned, employs 80+ field staff with 100+ years of combined managerial industry experience, and has no disclosed external funding.
