Heritage Masonry

Historic masonry construction requiring specialized restoration expertise to preserve cultural significance while meeting modern performance needs. Ontario's heritage masonry includes 19th-century lime mortar construction, unique local materials, and traditional techniques that demand compatible repair approaches. Heritage designation provides tax benefits but requires approved restoration methods. Improper modern repairs can permanently damage heritage character and reduce property value. Professional heritage restoration uses authenticated materials, traditional techniques, and approved methods that preserve historical integrity while providing decades of reliable performance and maintaining eligibility for heritage grants and tax incentives.
