Transforming Commercial Exteriors: Kinjo Sushi & Grill Edmonton
At Met Exteriors, we specialize in transforming commercial properties across Alberta with expert craftsmanship and high-performance exterior materials. One of our featured projects is the exterior renovation of Kinjo Sushi & Grill in Edmonton, where our team delivered a modern and durable façade that enhances both the building’s appearance and long-term performance.
To further enhance the value of this renovation, our team worked closely with the business owners to understand their operational needs, customer traffic patterns, and long-term goals for the property. This collaborative approach allowed us to design an exterior solution that not only improved curb appeal but also contributed to the restaurant’s overall customer experience. A refreshed exterior can significantly influence first impressions, and for a busy hospitality business like Kinjo, a clean and modern façade helps communicate quality, reliability, and professionalism before guests even step inside.
This transformation also demonstrates how commercial exterior upgrades can support branding consistency. Exterior materials, colours, and textures were chosen to complement Kinjo’s recognizable identity while providing a look that remains timeless and easy to maintain. By combining durability with design, the renovated façade strengthens the restaurant’s presence in the community and supports long-term business success.
Project Overview
Our experienced team managed the complete installation of EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), cultured stone, and metal cladding—creating a sleek, contemporary design that aligns with the restaurant’s brand identity. Each detail was executed with precision to ensure superior durability, energy efficiency, and lasting visual appeal.
In addition to executing the installation of EIFS, stone, and metal cladding, our team assessed existing building conditions to ensure a reliable foundation for the renovation. A full evaluation of the exterior walls, substrate integrity, and moisture management components was completed before any installation began. This meticulous preparation is essential for commercial buildings, where performance and longevity are just as important as aesthetics.
Our coordinated workflow minimized disruption to daily operations, allowing the restaurant to continue serving customers while the exterior improvements were underway. Careful scheduling, safety planning, and efficient material handling enabled us to maintain a clean work environment and deliver a polished finish within the projected timeline. This structured approach reflects our commitment to professionalism and the seamless execution of large-scale commercial exterior projects.
Modern Design with Lasting Performance
The combination of EIFS and cultured stone provided exceptional insulation and weather resistance while achieving a modern, eye-catching finish. The addition of metal cladding introduced architectural contrast, giving the façade a refined and professional look suited for commercial environments. This project demonstrates how the right blend of materials and skilled installation can completely transform a property’s exterior while enhancing both function and appearance.
Beyond visual upgrades, the materials selected were chosen for their ability to support the building in Alberta’s diverse climate. EIFS plays a crucial role in reducing heat loss during colder months and managing heat gain during summer, helping businesses control energy consumption more effectively. This contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment and lower operational costs over time.
The stone veneer installation added both character and strength to the façade. It reinforces areas exposed to foot traffic, weather, and day-to-day wear while maintaining a natural, attractive appearance. Meanwhile, the metal cladding provides a modern touch and offers excellent resistance to moisture, UV exposure, and impact damage. When combined, these materials create a resilient exterior that requires minimal maintenance, making them ideal for commercial properties with high visibility and high usage.
