Brick Repair & Restoration

Brick Repair & Restoration Services

At Chameleon, we understand that every brick adds to your property’s character, and when it comes to brick repair, the details make all the difference. Our brick restoration and finishing services include spalled brick replacement, window sill repair, tuckpointing, and brick tinting, all carried out with precision and care.

We start with a full inspection to assess your masonry, making sure each repair blends seamlessly with the original color, size, and texture. From there, we create a tailored plan that not only restores the look of your brickwork but also reinforces its strength for long-lasting quality.

Whether you’re maintaining the charm of a historic building or updating a modern facade, our team delivers brick repair and restoration that combines durability with visual appeal. With expertise in brick finishing techniques, we ensure your property looks refreshed while standing strong for years to come.

Spalled Brick Repair & Replacement

Spalling happens when water soaks into brick, freezes and pushes the face of the brick off. It is one of the most common forms of brick damage we see after an Ontario winter, especially near the ground, under windowsills and on chimneys.

We cut out cracked, flaking or rotten bricks and replace them with matching units, then rebuild the surrounding mortar joints. Where the damage is being caused by a leak, failed flashing or hard mortar, we fix the cause too, so the new brick lasts.

Tuckpointing & Brick Repointing

Mortar is meant to wear out before the brick does, but once joints are sandy, cracked or recessed, water gets into the wall. Our repointing process removes the damaged mortar to a consistent depth and repacks the joints with a mix that suits your brick.

Older homes often need a softer, lime-based mortar, while newer brick can take a modern mix. We tool every joint to match the existing profile, and our tuckpointing finish gives crisp, clean lines that refresh the look of the whole wall.

Matching Brick Replacement

A repair should disappear into the wall. We source brick that matches the color, size and texture of your existing masonry, including reclaimed brick for older properties, and blend the mortar color so new work sits naturally beside the original.

Brick Tinting

When an exact match isn’t available, or older repairs stand out, brick tinting brings everything back together. We use breathable masonry tints that soak into the brick rather than coating it, so the finish looks natural, lets the wall dry out and won’t peel.

Tinting is also a great way to even out patchy walls after an addition, a window change or years of mixed repairs.

Window Sill Repair

Brick, stone and precast sills take more water than almost any other part of the wall. Once a sill cracks, loses its slope or pulls away from the window, water runs into the brick below and behind it.

We repair or replace damaged sills, reset loose units, restore proper drainage and rebuild the brick around them, so water is directed away from the wall instead of into it.

Efflorescence Removal

White, powdery stains on brick are called efflorescence. They form when water moves through the masonry and leaves salts on the surface. We clean efflorescence safely without damaging the brick face, then track down the moisture source, such as failed mortar, sills, flashing or eavestroughs, so the staining doesn’t keep coming back.

Facade Refacing (Interior or Exterior)

Transform the look of your home or building with high-quality facade refacing. Whether modernizing an interior space or restoring an exterior, we use premium materials to enhance durability and aesthetic appeal.
