Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions we hear from property managers and strata councils across Metro Vancouver about concrete repair, parkade waterproofing, and restoration work.
Do you offer free site assessments?
Yes — we offer free site assessments for property managers and strata councils across Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. We’ll walk your structure, identify areas of concern, and provide a written report with repair recommendations and budget ranges. No obligation.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the entire Metro Vancouver region and Lower Mainland, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, Langley, Maple Ridge, and surrounding areas.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Miyagi Construction Ltd is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage on all projects.
What types of concrete repair do you specialize in?
We specialize in parkade waterproofing and membrane replacement, concrete spalling repair, balcony restoration, post-tension cable repair, concrete polishing, epoxy floor coatings, and structural concrete restoration for commercial and strata properties.
Do you work with strata corporations?
Yes — working with strata councils and property managers is a core part of our business. We understand strata processes, reserve fund planning, and the need to minimize disruption to residents. We can provide preliminary estimates to support your depreciation report planning.
How long does concrete repair typically take?
Timeline depends on the scope of work. Spot spalling repairs on a single parkade level can be done in 1–3 days. Full parkade waterproofing membrane replacement typically takes 4–12 weeks depending on the size of the structure and phasing requirements.
Do you provide warranties on your work?
Yes, Miyagi Construction warranties our labour on concrete repair work. We also ensure manufacturer product warranties are properly registered where applicable. Specific warranty terms are provided in writing with each project.
Can you repair post-tension cable failures in parkades?
Yes — post-tension cable repair is one of our core specialties. We work alongside structural engineers to assess failed tendons, design the repair approach, and execute the work safely. If you’re seeing rust staining at slab edges or unusual cracking in your parkade structure, contact us for an assessment.
What does parkade waterproofing cost in Vancouver?
Costs vary based on parkade size, membrane system, and the extent of concrete repair needed under the membrane. A rough range for a mid-size strata parkade is $100,000–$300,000. We provide detailed written quotes after a free site assessment.
How do I know if my concrete needs repair?
Key warning signs include rust staining or water staining on parkade ceilings, flaking or spalling concrete, hollow sounds when you tap the surface, cracks that are widening over time, or blistering on the parking deck membrane. If you’re seeing any of these, contact us for a free site assessment.
