Most Contractors Quote What They See. We Diagnose What's Behind the Damage.
When a structure starts showing problems, the real question isn't what's visible. It's what's driving it. Retro works with property managers, developers, and engineers across BC to find and fix the source. So the repair holds.
36+ Years of Local Resillience
Retro has been restoring BC structures since the late 1980s. Decades of experience means faster diagnosis, fewer surprises, and specs built for BC's climate and conditions.
9,455+ Restoration Projects Completed
In specialty contracting, experience is the ultimate risk-mitigator. If it’s a concrete or structural challenge, we’ve seen it, solved it, and warrantied it.
Surgical Accuracy, Zero Disruption
We specialize in high-traffic, live environments (stadiums, transit, occupied residential). We plan meticulously so your operations never stop.
Most concrete problems look simpler than they are.
Concrete deterioration, waterproofing failures, and structural distress are usually symptoms of something deeper.
Effective repairs start with finding what's actually driving the damage - not just fixing what's visible.
Retro works with property managers, developers, engineers, and institutional clients across BC to get that diagnosis right the first time.

Specialists in High-Performance Concrete Restoration
The right repair starts with understanding what's actually failing - and why.
EXPANSION JOINT INSTALLATION & REHABILITATION
Managing movement without compromising protection
Install, repair, replace and upgrade expansion joint systems to accommodate structural movement while preventing water intrusion and surrounding damage.
BUILDING ENVELOPE REPAIRS & RESTORATION
Keeping water out before it becomes structural damage
Protect your building’s first line of defence with targeted repairs that prevent moisture intrusion, concrete deterioration and costly structural rehabilitation.
CONCRETE REPAIR
Restoring deteriorated concrete for longer service life
Engineered repair solutions restore damaged concrete, improve safety and prevent further deterioration across buildings, parking structures and infrastructure.
GROUTING & INJECTION
Stopping leaks and stabilizing structures from within
Targeted grouting and injection systems seal cracks, fill voids and restore stability while minimizing disruption to surrounding areas.
STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING
Increasing capacity without full replacement
Engineered strengthening systems restore structural integrity, improve load capacity and extend the service life of aging or underperforming assets.
PARKING STRUCTURE RESTORATION
Extending the life of aging parkades
Comprehensive repair solutions address concrete deterioration, corrosion and waterproofing failure to improve safety and long-term durability.
TRAFFIC DECK WATERPROOFING
Protecting high-use decks from water and wear
Integrated waterproofing and concrete repair systems prevent moisture intrusion, reduce corrosion and protect the structure below.
High-Performance Restoration for Structures that Can’t Afford Guesswork
Complex restoration work often involves more than one issue. Water intrusion, movement, joint failure, concrete deterioration, and structural demands can overlap quickly. Especially in parkades, institutional buildings, infrastructure and other high-demand environments.
Retro brings the specialty services and project experience needed to address those conditions with a coordinated, performance-focused approach.

Occupied-environment expertise
Your building doesn't stop. Neither do we. We've worked in occupied parkades, active institutional facilities, and infrastructure that runs around the clock. And we know how to get the work done without making life difficult for the people inside.
Technical restoration capability
Most structures have more than one problem. We bring concrete repair, waterproofing, structural strengthening, and joint systems together under one coordinated scope. So nothing gets missed between trades.
Consultant collaboration
We work directly with the engineers and consultants on your project — from reading the spec to working through site conditions together. Constructability isn't an afterthought for us. It's how we start every conversation.
Long-term asset performance
A repair that fails in five years isn't a repair. It's a deferral. We select materials and methods with service life in mind, so the structures we work on need less attention down the road and cost less to maintain over time.
We work with:
Property Managers & Strata Councils
Commercial Developers
Engineers & Consultants
General Contractors
Institutional & Public Sector Clients
The Retro Difference
Retro was built for the repairs that require more than a crew and a product — the complex scopes, the active sites, the structures where getting it wrong has real consequences.
For 36+ years we've worked alongside engineers, property managers, and developers who needed a contractor they could trust to diagnose accurately, execute cleanly, and stand behind the result.
Every scope starts with an engineering-led assessment - because in BC's climate and building stock, the visible problem is rarely the whole problem.
When the problem is complex and the margin for error is low, Retro is the contractor BC's most demanding projects call.
