Heritage masonry restoration in Toronto that stays true to the original
Careful restoration for Toronto heritage homes and buildings—period‑appropriate materials, traditional techniques, and precise brick/stone matching. We repoint with lime mortars where appropriate, replace damaged units with close matches, and preserve original character while improving durability.
Built for Toronto heritage
Older Toronto masonry needs compatible materials and careful technique. We use breathability‑friendly mixes, respect original details, and minimise intervention so your building keeps its character and performs well in our freeze‑thaw climate.
