Brick and stonework Markham ON
Masonry Markham is proud to be part of a heritage trade that’s spanned generations and centuries as well as geography. Brick and stonework play an important role in the past, the present and the future. It’s not going anywhere, and with good reason. Brick and stone offer solid foundations for buildings and homes, but in modern times, they’re also used in a variety of decorative applications. Modern trends show an increase of these strong and natural materials in the interior of the home or business, including decorative walls, posts, chimney frames, as well as bathroom, kitchen and home spa accents.
Our masons are experienced and skilled in a variety of stone and brickwork, ranging from bricklaying for additions, brick repair, stone walkways and walls and much more. Let’s dive into each one. Stone is a beautiful material as it offers a unique and varied look, particularly if you’re dealing with natural stone, which is sourced from a variety of regions in Ontario. Cultured stone is a more affordable alternative and offers comparable strength and durability. No matter which type of stone you need, our stone masons will ensure you have a durable construction that will last years without the need to replace it. |

Brick has been a staple construction material for many years, and with good reason. It creates a strong foundation and increases the ROI considerably in many homes and buildings as opposed to other cheap and flimsy materials like aluminum siding. Our bricklayers pay excellent attention to detail, which is important not only in the aesthetics, but also the integrity of the construction. Imagine a brick wall with unevenly applied mortar and disjointed bricks. Not only is that an eyesore, but the integrity of the wall is compromised. Masonry Markham’s bricklayers ensure every step is done with care, from properly preparing the mortar, to the mortar’s even application on the brick, to the even bricklaying you’ll see in all our projects.
In addition, we specialize in tuckpointing, a process that utilizes mortar of different shades to give the impression of finer joints between bricks. Not only does it help aesthetically, but the functional benefits are obvious in cases like chimney systems where water has the potential to seep down the chimney. Tuckpointing helps to mitigate this risk. Not only that, in cases where the mortar is falling apart (since mortar is not nearly as resilient as the bricks themselves), tuckpointing is a method of brick restoration and refacing while eliminating the need of an entire brick repair or replacement, provided the brick is still in good condition.
