Jim and his crew are nothing short of miracle workers when it comes to historic restoration. I recently purchased an old Victorian semi that had fallen far from its former grandeur. The brick veneer facade was crumbling away, and I thought a complete tear down and rebuild with new brick would be my only option. In an attempt to salvage the historic look, I called Jim and I'm so glad I did.
With over 300 bricks to replace, full tuck pointing and new window ledges required, it was no easy task to mix old and new to create a look that appears original to the house. Their patience and artistry restored my house, they were always on time and very pleasant to deal with. They also made sure my neighbours were informed and happy. In addition, Jim made recommendations that ultimately took money out of their pockets and into my window company's, because that would result in a better finished product for me. I wouldn't hesitate to use Reach Restoration again or recommend them to others.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $13,000.00
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Keep in mind that masonry companies rarely deal with brick cleaning. So if you have paint that needs to be removed from your brickwork before restoration, I recommend Blair from Horizon Restoration who worked in tandem with Jim and did an excellent job.
