Frequently Asked Questions

We take care of many different jobs for your home or business. This includes fixing chimneys, filling in old mortar, and putting protective layers on your foundation. We also fix cracks and replace broken windowsills. If you are building a custom home or changing the layout of a shop, we can move walls or add stone arches too. We work on houses, stores, and old historic buildings throughout the local area.

The mortar is what holds your walls together. Over time, the rain and the cold can make it crumble. If the mortar is gone, water can get inside the wall. This makes bricks bulge or crack when the water turns to ice. Fixing the mortar helps stop leaks and keeps bugs or mice from getting into your house. It also helps your home stay warmer because the wind cannot blow through the gaps.

You should look for bricks that are loose or falling off. Sometimes you might see white stains on the outside or find bits of stone on the ground. Inside your house, you might notice a musty smell in the basement or see water marks on the ceiling near the chimney. If you see any big cracks, it is a good idea to have someone check it out early. Fixing a small problem now can save you a lot of money later.

Parging is a special coating we put on your foundation walls. It acts like a shield against the snow and rain. In Ontario, this is very important because it stops water from soaking into the concrete. This helps prevent mould and keeps your basement dry. We can put this coating on the outside of your house or on the walls inside your basement to give you the best protection.
