Commercial Real Estate

Send us (1) photos of the problem surface, (2) rough dimensions (length, width, surface material), (3) city, and (4) the kind of grind activity you're seeing (storefront ledge, bench, handrail, etc.). That's enough for an initial quote within 24 business hours. For commercial real estate, school, transit, or government deployments, send photos of all locations, the AODA / heritage status of the property, and any existing architectural drawings if you have them. We follow up with a site-visit quote if the deployment is large or complex — site visits are free within our 15 priority cities, flat-rate $250 outside. Quotes are itemized (hardware, anchoring, install labour, climate upgrades, taxes) — no surprise add-ons, no quote bait-and-switch.

They are completely different products for completely different industries. Skate stoppers (our category) are small architectural anti-skateboarding deterrents — stainless, bronze, or aluminum brackets, studs, and clamps that are mounted on commercial benches, ledges, planters, handrails, and concrete edges to prevent skateboarders from grinding on the surface and damaging it. They are sold to municipalities, transit authorities, schools, retail property managers, and commercial real estate owners as a property-protection tool, with stamped engineering and bonded installation. Typical install spacing: 30-45 cm centres, 6-15 mm protrusion, 304 or 316L stainless. Roller skate toe stops (NOT our category) are the rubber brake pads bolted to the front of a quad roller skate that the skater uses to stop or push off. They are sold by skate-shop retailers (RollerGirl.ca, Rollerskatin.ca, Bont.com Canada) for $15-40 per pair to roller-derby players and recreational skaters. If you searched 'skate stoppers' and meant the rubber brake on a roller skate, we are not your supplier. If you searched 'skate stoppers' and meant 'how do I stop skateboarders from grinding on my property,' you are in the right place.

For owner-of-record private property — no permit required in any of those cities. For public-sidewalk-adjacent ledges that are technically city property, you need a right-of-way alteration permit (Toronto: TPS Right-of-Way, Vancouver: VanConnect Sidewalk Cafe + Permit, Montréal: Permis d'occupation temporaire du domaine public). For heritage-designated property in any of those three cities, you need conservation-officer approval — Heritage Toronto, Heritage Vancouver, or Ville de Montréal patrimoine. We coordinate all three permit/approval workflows as part of standard project scope — typical timeline is 2-4 weeks from quote acceptance to install. For most Canadian municipal and commercial contexts, install follows our standard process: 24-hour quote, stamped engineering attached, bonded crew, install completed within the target city's seasonal window.
