Sympathetic Repair

Restoration approach using materials and methods compatible with original construction while meeting current building performance standards. Critical for Ontario heritage buildings where incompatible modern materials can cause expensive damage to historic masonry. Sympathetic repairs respect the building's historical behavior patterns while providing reliable long-term performance. Professional sympathetic repair prevents the damage caused by rigid modern materials on flexible historic structures. This approach maintains heritage character, preserves property value, and ensures repairs last decades rather than failing prematurely due to material incompatibility.
