Historical Restoration

Historical restoration preserves Ontario's architectural heritage while ensuring buildings meet modern safety and comfort standards—a delicate balance requiring specialized expertise. From Victorian-era homes in Toronto's Annex to century farmhouses in rural Ontario, historical brick restoration maintains original character while addressing structural issues. This process involves matching historical mortar composition, sourcing period-appropriate bricks, and using traditional techniques like lime-based pointing that allows old buildings to 'breathe.' Heritage designation may qualify you for grants and tax credits, but requires following strict guidelines for authentic restoration. Common challenges include lead paint, asbestos insulation, and outdated building methods that need careful modernization.
