Did someone order a new pillar?🧱
Another leaning pillar was removed and rebuilt with fresh bricks to match the house. The foundation of the pillar was solid and level, so we reinforced it and built it up again.
A lot of times these pillars can lean because the porches are built into them. The joists for the porches are resting inside the pillar and are constantly moving, combined with the weight of the roof pushing down and out. All that pressure and movement can eventually cause the pillars to lean away from the house. We rebuild them all the time and they’re good as new!💪

Concrete bricks are some of the toughest bricks around. Instead of breaking apart and pieces falling off, they erode and take a lot of punishment.
These are next to the stairs on the entrance to a store on Dundas St West. We replaced all the damaged concrete bricks in the corners. Great brick match from the exceptional @kreitmaker as always. Another project complete in time for the Winter!

Another great example of what happens when you neglect your brick walls for too long. The client had a storage shed up against this area of the wall for years, which was trapping snow, ice and who knows what else, which caused the wall to get damaged faster. This is also an example of what some quick DIY measures some folks take to keeping water out of the house - spray foam in between the bricks won’t cut it! All the damaged bricks removed and replaced and fresh mortar everywhere around them. The brick match is on point and the new mortar colour is pretty good! We did a lot of work on this house, including some work on the chimney, parging and other brick work - this was the biggest area of bricks that were replaced. All bricks and mortar from the lovely @kreitmaker as we enjoy their materials.

These front steps were chipped and roughed up and the bricks behind them were all broken. This is a recipe for future disasters and water getting in. We removed the step pieces, replaced all the damaged bricks behind them and then installed fresh screening for the step pieces. We then turned the existing steps around so the front edges are clean and new, improving the overall look of the area and the curb appeal. Great solution and great work, courtesy of team @mikesmasonto using supplies from Kreitmaker to get it done right and in time for the Winter.

Limestone window sills are always recommended over brick sills. Sometimes they don’t fit the style of the house, but they last longer and look better overall. They do still break down over time, especially if they’re in an area where they get lots of snow and ice hanging out on them all Winter. We can replace them pretty much anywhere on the house and have the windows safe and sealed up once again!💯

Let’s get your home ready for the upcoming Winter! We recommend caulking the gap between your home and the walkway. We use a high-quality, premium caulking that’s great for weather sealing and for these exterior areas and that bonds to concrete very well.
We apply it liberally and it looks great and does the trick! Special shoutout to @mikesmasonto for this project!

This chimney was crumbling at the very top of it. We removed the bad bricks and installed new ones. We also installed a new concrete cap to keep the chimney sealed and protected in the long term. This is one of the reasons we don’t recommend painting bricks. The entire front of the house was painted before it was sold, most likely to hide imperfections like this chimney. Be aware of painted bricks!🧱 Thanks to @kreitmaker for the materials!

Another leaning pillar was rebuilt from the ground up! We supported the roof, removed the pillar and installed a concrete footing, then rebuilt it with bricks that match the house to be straight as it can be. We reinstalled the cap and reset the wood column. Nice and solid! Peace of mind that a leaning pillar on your front porch won’t one day fall over! On to the next one, rebuilding leaning pillars in Toronto one at a time!💪

These two front pillars on a home in East York were pretty messy from previous repairs. 🧱 Good thing is that these bricks are very solid and strong, so they weren’t leaning and we didn’t have to rebuild them. We replaced the badly damaged and messy mortar then sealed them up so they’re good to go! Now they can get the new porch installed in time for the Winter!

This was a cool project - the natural stone foundation of this home was beat up. She was interested in parging it because that’s what she had seen done to similar homes in her neighbourhood. We recommended keeping the natural stones visible and repairing all the mortar around them to restore the whole wall. She really liked that idea because she liked the look of the stones. We replaced a few damaged bricks and installed fresh mortar along the entire side. It looks awesome and the stones are good to go now!💪 Shoutout to @mikesmasonto and to @kreitmaker for all the materials!

#throwbackthursdays ! This quick project was getting worse by the day out of pure neglect! Most of this column needed to be rebuilt. It was luck that some of the original bricks were in good shape to be reused and a good brick match was found to fill in the rest! Work by the one and only @yufli back when it was a 1-2 man show around here.💪 Homeowner tip👉Don’t delay getting things repaired, it will only get worse!
