Masonry Restoration

Masonry restoration breathes new life into deteriorating brick structures, combining structural repairs with aesthetic improvements to restore or exceed original performance while preserving architectural character. Unlike simple repairs that address symptoms, restoration involves comprehensive assessment, addressing underlying causes, and implementing long-term solutions using appropriate materials and techniques. For Ontario's heritage buildings, this means matching historic mortar composition, sourcing reclaimed brick, and using traditional techniques alongside modern conservation science. The process typically includes cleaning, repointing, replacing damaged units, structural stabilization, and protective treatments tailored to building age and significance. Restoration can transform buildings suffering from decades of deferred maintenance, often revealing stunning original details hidden under dirt and paint. Fix My Brick specializes in both historic and modern masonry restoration, understanding that every building has unique requirements based on its construction era, materials, and current condition. Professional restoration typically costs 60-70% less than replacement while maintaining property character and value.
