Edwardian brick home repointing
I am very happy with the work that Invisible Tuckpointing did on our brick home. We had a problem with different coloured mortars that had been poorly applied in a large number of areas. Our home is over 100-years-old and I was concerned about hiring a mason who would make the brick and mortar look new. I like the character and age of my Edwardian home and wanted the repointing to reflect that. Mario and Sandy gave me exactly that and more: beautiful, careful, high quality workmanship that restored and enhanced the look of my home. The mortar now looks unified and tidy and suits the age of the brick. Mario selected a mortar color that was very close to what the original mortar color would have been. He also managed to impressively fix a number of problem areas on the bricks themselves. Before we selected Invisible Tuckpointing, we looked at the homes several tuckpointing companies had done, and the quality of Mario’s work was far beyond what anyone else was doing. Invisible did cost more than the other companies we received quotes from but, in this case, you get what you pay for and it was well worth it. They were reliable, professional, and took great pride in their excellent work. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you very much Agata. It was a pleasure dealing with you.
The masonry trade in Toronto, along with many other business sectors, is undergoing a process of deflationary economics; which means it's a buyer's market at the moment. It therefore makes sense that you were careful when reviewing all the options for this project, as there would have been a wider spread than previously between my price and the "general market".
There are reasons why I charge what I charge, and I am delighted that you've opted for the result that I produce. I always feel a sense of responsibility to deliver at a high-level and I keep my own feet to the fire, as you now know.
It means a lot to me that you were happy with the overall experience.
Again, thank you.
