Hamilton's Trusted Brick Repair Specialists
When your Hamilton property needs reliable brick repair, Fix My Brick brings the specialised expertise that this historic city requires.
Our certified masons understand the unique challenges that Hamilton's escarpment geography and diverse architectural landscape present to masonry structures. With over 20 years serving Hamilton residents, our team has extensive experience working with the city's wide range of building styles—from century homes in Corktown to modern mountain properties.
Hamilton's position between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment creates specific challenges for brick structures. The limestone bedrock and varying drainage patterns affect foundation stability, while lake moisture impacts mortar integrity. Our services are specifically designed to address these regional factors.

Warning Signs Your Hamilton Brick Needs Professional Attention
Recognise these symptoms early to prevent costly structural damage and protect your property investment
- White chalky deposits (efflorescence) on brick surfaces
- Mortar joints that are crumbling, missing, or pulling away
- Individual bricks that look loose, shifted, or out of alignment
- Step cracks following the mortar lines in a stair pattern
- Brick faces flaking or pieces falling off (spalling)
Escarpment Drainage
Hamilton's unique escarpment geography creates varied drainage patterns that can affect foundation stability and moisture levels.
Lake Ontario Influence
Proximity to Lake Ontario creates higher moisture levels that can accelerate mortar deterioration and freeze-thaw damage.
Geological Variation
Different soil and bedrock conditions across Hamilton's topography create varying settlement patterns that stress masonry structures.
Spotted any of these signs? Early professional assessment can prevent minor issues from becoming major structural problems that cost thousands more to repair.
Our Hamilton Brick Repair Process
Every brick repair project in Hamilton follows our proven five-step process, developed over two decades of working on properties across the escarpment and lakeshore communities.
Comprehensive Property Inspection
We start with a thorough assessment of your entire masonry structure, not just the visible problem areas. Our masons examine mortar joints, brick condition, drainage patterns, and potential underlying causes. For Hamilton properties, we pay special attention to escarpment-related drainage issues and moisture patterns influenced by Lake Ontario proximity.
Detailed Assessment & Documentation
After inspection, we document all findings with photos and measurements. We identify the root cause of the damage—whether it's water infiltration, settlement, freeze-thaw cycling, or age-related deterioration. This step prevents us from just treating symptoms while the underlying problem continues.
Clear Proposal & Timeline
You receive a written proposal explaining exactly what repairs are needed, why they're necessary, and what the investment looks like. No surprises. We break down the scope of work, materials required, timeline, and warranty coverage. We answer every question before any work begins.
Professional Repair Work
Our certified masons complete the repairs using proper techniques and quality materials matched to your existing masonry. For heritage properties, we source period-appropriate brick and mix custom mortar to match original compositions. We protect your landscaping and property throughout the process.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
Once repairs are complete, we walk through the finished work together. We explain what was done, point out the improvements, and provide care recommendations to extend the life of your masonry. All work is backed by our written warranty for your peace of mind.
Our Brick Repair Services in Hamilton
We handle every type of masonry repair Hamilton properties require, from minor maintenance to major structural restoration.
Tuckpointing & Repointing
Deteriorated mortar joints are the most common brick repair need in Hamilton. Our tuckpointing service removes damaged mortar to the proper depth and replaces it with new mortar matched to your existing colour and composition. This restores structural integrity and prevents water infiltration that causes further damage.

Brick Replacement
When individual bricks are cracked, spalled, or damaged beyond repair, we carefully remove and replace them with matching brick. For older Hamilton homes, we source salvaged or custom-manufactured brick to maintain architectural consistency. Our brick matching expertise ensures repairs blend seamlessly with your existing masonry.
Parging & Foundation Repair
Hamilton's varied soil conditions and escarpment geology create unique foundation challenges. We repair cracked and deteriorating parging, address foundation brick damage, and restore structural soundness to basement and crawlspace walls. Proper parging protects your foundation from moisture penetration and freeze-thaw damage.

Chimney Brick Repair
Chimneys take the worst weather exposure on your property. We repair deteriorated chimney brick, rebuild damaged crowns and caps, replace failing flashing, and restore chimney structural integrity. Whether your chimney needs minor tuckpointing or major reconstruction, we have the expertise to do it right.

Lintel & Structural Repairs
Rusted or failing steel lintels above windows and doors cause characteristic cracking patterns in surrounding brick. We replace damaged lintels and repair affected masonry to prevent ongoing structural movement. This is critical work that stops progressive damage to your walls.

Heritage & Century Home Restoration
Hamilton has exceptional heritage architecture from Corktown to Durand to the historic downtown core. We specialise in sensitive restoration of century homes using period-appropriate techniques. Our masons understand lime-based mortars, soft historic brick, and the careful approach these buildings require.

What Influences Your Quote?
Scope of damage
A few cracked mortar joints costs less than an entire wall that needs repointing. We assess the full extent of the problem so there are no surprises.
Accessibility
Ground-level repairs are more straightforward than work requiring scaffolding or ladder setups. Second-storey and chimney work involves additional equipment and safety requirements.
Material matching
Standard brick and mortar replacements are straightforward. Heritage properties requiring custom mortar mixes or sourced period brick involve additional material costs.
Underlying issues
Sometimes what looks like a simple repair reveals deeper problems like water infiltration, lintel failure, or structural movement. We identify these during assessment so you understand the full picture before work begins.
Project complexity
Straightforward tuckpointing differs from structural repairs, lintel replacements, or heritage restoration work requiring specialized techniques.
Our Transparent Pricing Promise
Most residential repairs are more affordable than homeowners expect when caught early. We provide a detailed written quote before any work begins.
