Our services
Whether for new or existing homes and buildings, our expert masons and bricklayers are at your service to build, rebuild, or repair decorative walls and retaining walls made of brick, stone, or concrete blocks.
Our team can build or repair fireplaces and chimneys, as well as balconies. We also install and repair residential and commercial French drain systems. Our company strictly adheres to all Building Code standards.
Repair and restoration
Our professional team performs brick and stone repointing, seals foundation cracks, and installs anchors to reinforce concrete. Our masons and bricklayers replace weakened or fallen bricks or stones, repair bowed walls (brick displacement caused by expanding mortar), and handle chimney and fireplace repairs. They also replace window sills and lintels. When necessary for reconstruction or reinforcement, our experts can partially or completely dismantle a brick or stone wall.
We use high-quality mortar and galvanized steel anchors, paying close attention to every detail to ensure strength and durability. Using low-cost, substandard materials would result in masonry work lasting only about ten years instead of several decades.
Minor or major issues
When it comes to repairing or replacing bricks or stones, some problems may be relatively simple to fix: parging to redo, bowed walls (bulging caused by water infiltration), missing anchors, etc. However, other issues can be more serious, such as major foundation deterioration or water infiltration. In such cases, we clearly explain to our clients what work is necessary or urgent.
If you notice a bulging section on your brick wall (bowed wall), it means that water has accumulated behind the bricks and pushed the anchors outward. If the issue is not addressed, the bricks could eventually detach. If the bulging is located near the base of the wall, it is even more urgent to repair, as the wall may no longer be properly supported. Acting quickly helps prevent the deterioration of the entire wall.
Cracks in bricks that do not expand (passive cracks) can be easily sealed with urethane or epoxy by our masonry professionals. However, expanding cracks (active cracks) must be evaluated, as they may be caused by structural issues related to unstable foundations. In extreme cases, dismantling and rebuilding the wall may be necessary.
Other issues require professional intervention from masonry specialists in Outremont: a rusted angle iron or lintel (a metal component installed behind the bricks above a door or window), efflorescence on bricks (white mineral deposits), or deterioration of façade joints (crumbling mortar).
