Replacement of 100+ Old Brick Facade & Sills

I live in a 120+ year Victorian house in Cabbagetown. Like many of the houses it had been painted and then sand-blasted to restore the brick. Removing the paint removed the hard surfaced and the brick was badly eroding (spalling). I interviewed 3 different masons, and Barkley Hunt displayed the required knowledge and skills to complete the heritage work. Barkley secured the necessary City Heritage permits to rebuild the entire front facade with orange and buff UBS brick (of the same colour and style as the original), limestone mortar and limestone sills. We needed to special order the dog-legged brick from England for the bay window. Since the work was done in March with evening temperatures below 10', they covered the porch and used propane heaters to ensure the mortar cured properly. Hunt Heritage Masonry are friendly, knowledgeable and meticulous. A true professional masonry contractor who takes pride in their work. After seeing and admiring the restoration at the front of the house, I had them also replace my window and door sills at the rear of the house. Similarly, my neighbor was so impressed by the quality and attention to detail, they had them replace their front brickwork as well. Strongly recommend Hunt Heritage Masonry to others who need masonry work.
