Local services

What we do across The Junction.

We are a local west Toronto mason, which means we know the older brick, stone and chimneys found in The Junction and Roncesvalles.

Local knowledge

A local mason who knows The Junction brick.

The Junction and Roncesvalles are full of century homes with soft, older brick and lime mortar. A local mason who matches that brick, instead of patching with hard modern mortar, is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that spalls by spring.

  • 38 years working west Toronto homes.
  • Older brick and mortar matching for Kingsway character homes.
  • WETT-certified for wood-burning fireplaces.
  • Free, honest estimates. No call centre, just Greg.

The craft

We fix why it failed, not just the symptom.

Most masonry repairs come back because nobody addressed the water. We find the source first, then rebuild it right.

01

Freeze-thaw & water

Toronto sees 50-plus freeze cycles a winter. Water gets into open joints and cracked crowns, freezes, expands and blows brick apart. We seal every path in.

02

Flashing & cap failure

Most chimney leaks start where the chimney meets the roof, or at a cracked crown. New flashing and a proper cap end it.

03

The wrong mortar

Hard modern mortar on soft older brick spalls the brick. We match strength and colour so the rebuild lasts and disappears.

The Junction FAQ

Straight answers before you call.

Do you serve all of The Junction?+
Yes. We are based on Dundas Street West and work across The Junction, including Roncesvalles, Islington, Mimico, Sunnylea, Thorncrest Village, Bloor West Village, Swansea and Humber Valley. If you are in west Toronto, we cover it.
Can you match the original Kingsway brick?+
Yes. Roncesvalles is full of soft, older brick and lime mortar. We match the brick, the mortar strength and the colour so the repair blends in. Hard modern mortar on soft older brick will just spall again, so we do not use it.

Yes. We are WETT-certified and do chimney repairs, rebuilds, relining and inspections across The Junction. If you have a wood-burning fireplace or stove, we can inspect it and make sure it is safe and insurable.
How fast can you come out?+
We are local, so we can usually come by within a few days. For urgent safety issues, such as a leaning chimney or loose brick, we will do our best to get there quickly. Call (416) 729-8515 and tell us what is going on.
