A repair addresses a specific, isolated problem replacing one cracked brick or sealing a single gap. Masonry restoration takes a broader view of the entire structure’s condition, addresses the causes of deterioration, and works toward returning the masonry to its original structural and visual standard across a wider scope. Most older properties in Ottawa benefit from a restoration approach rather than ongoing piecemeal repairs, which often cost more in the long run.
When carried out correctly with appropriate materials, masonry restoration should last 20 to 30 years or more before significant maintenance is needed again. The key is using the right mortar composition for Ottawa’s climate and ensuring proper preparation of all surfaces before new material is applied. Forte Masonry stands by the quality of our work on every restoration project.
Conventional masonry materials include brick, concrete block, and natural and cut stone, typically applied over a concrete masonry base or used as the primary structural material. Masonry construction is valued for its durability, fire resistance, thermal mass, and aesthetic versatility all qualities that Forte Masonry works to preserve and restore in every project we take on.
We handle all types of masonry repairs including chimney repair and rebuilding, cement and concrete parging, brick repointing, brickwork repair and replacement, masonry restoration, block work, and window sill replacement. Residential and commercial across Ottawa and surrounding areas.
Masonry repair costs depend on the scope and materials. A chimney repointing job may start from a few hundred dollars for minor repairs. Full chimney rebuilds, masonry restoration projects, or large-scale parging work will vary based on the size of the area and the extent of damage.
