Brick Repair & Repointing in Markham
Chameleon Masonry repairs and restores brick, block and stone across Markham — from the older properties around Markham Village and Unionville to the newer builds in Cornell, Berczy Village and Cathedraltown. Water is behind most masonry failure here: once mortar joints open up, freeze-thaw does the rest. We repoint deteriorated joints, replace spalled and cracked brick, rebuild sills and lintels, and correct the flashing and drainage details that let water in. Serving Markham, Unionville, Thornhill, Milliken, Cornell and Box Grove.

Choosing a Masonry Company in Markham
Every repair is colour, size and texture matched to the existing masonry, so a finished wall reads as one surface rather than a patch — whether we are repointing one elevation or restoring a full façade.
We match mortar type to the brick it sits against. A mix that is harder than the surrounding masonry does more damage than the problem it was brought in to solve.
Our crews are fully certified and insured, with over twenty years of residential and commercial masonry across Markham and York Region.
Work begins with a detailed inspection and a clear written scope, and you keep one point of contact from the first visit to final sign-off.
Workmanship is covered by a written warranty, backed by $5 million in liability insurance and full WSIB clearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do brick homes in Markham develop cracks around windows and doors?
Cracks around windows and doors can develop from normal building movement, settlement, aging mortar, or moisture entering weakened joints. Small cracks may stay cosmetic, but widening or recurring cracks should be inspected to determine whether masonry repair is needed.
2. Can you match brick when repairing an older Markham home?
In many cases, yes. Chameleon Masonry works to match the existing brick’s colour, size, texture, and mortar as closely as possible. This is especially important for older homes, additions, and localized brick repairs where mismatched materials can be very noticeable.
3. Do you repair masonry around home additions and renovations in Markham?
Yes. Masonry repairs can include brickwork around additions, openings, altered entrances, windows, doors, and other renovated areas. Proper integration with the existing masonry helps create a cleaner finish and reduces the risk of gaps, cracking, or water entry.
4. What happens if deteriorated mortar on a Markham home is left unrepaired?
Once mortar begins cracking or eroding, more moisture can reach the surrounding brickwork. Over time, this may lead to loose bricks, deeper joint deterioration, spalling, and more extensive repairs. Repointing damaged mortar early can help preserve the wall.
5. Should cracked brick always be replaced?
Not necessarily. The right repair depends on the severity and cause of the damage. Some isolated cracks may be repaired, while badly spalled, loose, or structurally compromised bricks are usually better replaced. A masonry assessment can determine the most appropriate approach.

Why Markham Homeowners Choose Us
Masonry problems rarely stay cosmetic. A cracked joint or a failing chimney crown lets water into the wall, and once that water freezes the damage spreads through the surrounding brick.
We deal with the cause as well as the visible repair, so the work holds. Every quote follows an on-site inspection, with straight advice about what needs doing now and what can wait.

Innisfil, ON
We used Chameleon Masonry for our chimney repair and I am so glad we did. They were professional and prompt, and took the time to explain all the details. In a language I could understand. Not only does my chimney look great, but they did it on time and within budget. I would highly recommend Jesse and his crew for quality work and excellent customer service.
Aurora, ON
In a world of good, better and best, Chameleon Masonry provided me the best in quality, workmanship, professionalism and service at a price that was better than most of their competitors. Their attention to detail from the quote, the pre-work, the completion of the task at hand and the finishing touches gave me confidence throughout the entire renovation process.
Barrie, ON
I needed brickwork repaired on the corner of our house as well as small foundation and header cracks filled. The sales and repair process was professional and thorough. The workers completed all the work quickly and took the time to complete a walk-through and show me where all the work was done, and why.
