Project Overview
The Beaconsfield Ave project involved the restoration of 1,276 square feet of brick façade. Years of exposure to Montreal’s harsh freeze–thaw cycles had caused cracking, mortar loss, and water infiltration. Our client wanted a long-lasting solution that would protect the structure, enhance curb appeal, and preserve the home’s character.
Step 1: Careful Demolition
Brick restoration always begins with an assessment phase. Our masons identified areas where bricks were loose, cracked, or structurally compromised. Instead of tearing down the entire wall, we carefully removed only damaged sections to preserve as much of the original façade as possible.
Step 2: Brick Installation
The heart of the project was the installation of new bricks. Our masons worked meticulously to ensure perfect alignment, a close color/texture match, and strong bonding with fresh mortar. This was the most labor-intensive phase, requiring patience and skill.
Step 3: Mortar Repointing
Mortar is the “glue” that holds brickwork together. In Beaconsfield, we performed extensive repointing by removing old mortar, inserting new compatible mixes, and compacting joints for long-term weather resistance.
Step 4: Scaffolding & Safety
A restoration project of this scale required professional scaffolding systems. Our team followed strict safety protocols, safeguarding both workers and the homeowner’s property.
Step 5: Material Selection
We prioritized high-density clay bricks, lime-cement mortar, and water-repellent sealers to ensure both strength and longevity of the restored façade.
