As time goes on, even the most expertly laid stone and brick will eventually start to degrade due to Ontario’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles. In the event that your residential or commercial property’s masonry has begun to show signs of wear—such as cracked mortar, spalling bricks, or shifting stones—don’t panic. These issues are common, but they do require professional attention to prevent moisture from entering your building’s envelope and causing expensive structural damage.

Just give LJC Masonry Contractors Inc. a call, and we’ll be glad to provide a comprehensive assessment and fix it up for you. We specialize in professional repointing (tuckpointing), which involves removing damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh, high-performance mixtures that match the original color and strength. Our repair services extend to chimney rebuilding, foundation cracks, and localized brick replacement in Orillia, Innisfil, and the surrounding areas.

Ignoring minor masonry flaws can lead to significant issues like mold growth, wood rot in the inner framing, and decreased energy efficiency. Our team uses specialized tools to ensure that repairs are seamless and blend perfectly with your existing masonry. We focus on “preventative masonry,” identifying the root cause of the degradation—whether it’s poor drainage or settling—to ensure that once we fix it, it stays fixed.
