In commercial real estate, a building’s exterior plays a critical role in how a property is perceived. It is often the first point of contact for customers, employees, and visitors. When an exterior appears worn, faded, or poorly maintained, it can affect brand perception and confidence in the space.
Landmark Advisory Services’ Facade Refresh Program, delivered as part of our national Facility Management services, helps ensure your building’s exterior reflects the standard of care maintained inside.
Why Your Building’s Exterior Impacts Your Business Reputation
A well-maintained facade signals professionalism, attention to detail, and long-term stewardship of the property. Visible deterioration such as peeling paint, fading finishes, or surface damage can suggest deferred maintenance, regardless of how well the interior is managed. Maintaining the exterior supports both reputation and asset performance.
What a Professional Facade Refresh Includes
A facade refresh involves more than aesthetic improvements. Landmark’s Facility Management team evaluates existing conditions, completes proper surface preparation, and specifies materials selected for durability and performance. This ensures consistent results and extends the life of exterior finishes.
Our process is designed to minimize disruption and ensure compliance. We work with our client’s design team, obtain quotes, and secure approvals from the client, landlord, and city. We coordinate with store-level staff to complete work safely and efficiently, maintaining operations throughout the project.
Built for Canadian Climates, From Coast to Coast
Exterior materials and coatings must perform in demanding Canadian climates. Temperature fluctuations, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and UV exposure can quickly degrade finishes if the wrong products or preparation methods are used.
With Facility Management services delivered coast to coast, Landmark understands how exterior systems perform across regions. Our teams apply region-appropriate preparation methods, specify coatings suited to local conditions, and schedule work to support long-term durability. The result is an exterior that performs reliably well beyond project completion.
When Is It Time to Refresh Your Commercial Building Exterior?
If a building’s exterior no longer reflects the operational or brand standards you maintain, it may be time to plan a refresh. For commercial real estate tenants, proactive exterior maintenance helps protect asset value, support tenant experience, and maintain consistent brand presentation.
With Landmark’s Canada-wide Facility Management services, facade refresh projects are planned, coordinated, and executed with expertise. To discuss your building and assess next steps, contact our team to start the conversation.
