I hired Reach Restoration to fix the top of my chimney, step cracks and holes in the brick work and to patch and repair the parging around the base of the house, mostly the garage.
Jim and his guys did a great job, it turned out better than I expected. They were on time, worked diligently and were respectful of my time and property. They kept the dust and debris to a minimum and used drop cloths to protect my freshly stained deck. They color matched the mortar perfectly and it is hard to tell there was even a repair in most areas. The job was completed on time, on budget and I am totally happy with the work they did. If you need your brickwork restored these are the guys you want to do it. I would highly recommend Reach Restoration.

I have an older home in need of tuck pointing and also removal and patching of 2 old kitchen vents.

Jim and his crew did a great job. The tuck pointing and patching looks great and they kept the amount of dust to a minimum.

To complicate things, the weather was uncooperative at times with multiple days of rain, but they were able to work around it and complete the job in good time.

Thanks for a great job Jim!

I reached out to Jim given the ratings here. Jim responded to my request fro quote, gave me a reasonable price after inspecting the house, and completed the work as agreed over 2 days. Jim and crew left area very clean after day one. The work looks great and is just what I needed. Many Thanks Jim.

Jim and crew gave us new through wall openings for our new larger front door, front window and new back patio door. They did everything while we were there...three kids...minimal dust and disturbance and a total pleasure to be around. Honest, hard working and professional. They matched the old bricks with new, installed new stone lintels, poured a concrete sill for patio door and cleaned up the drywall at the new openings so the window and doors crew just popped the new units right in. We ended up getting them to do tuckpointing on two facade since they had scaffolding up already.

In the depths of despair following a messy break up with a general contractor over the holidays, I called up Jim to see if he could help restart a stalled house project. He readily agreed and I discovered previously unknown skills offered by Jim and his crew. He has done masonry work for me in the past but the current house was cedar and cement board clad. Jim and his crew set up a 30 ft scaffolding to correct the previous contractor's work and suggested solutions taking into account the performance of the entire building envelope. He brought in his preferred roofer to do some complicated sheet metal flashing work and in many ways acted like a general contractor. I appreciated his attention to detail and the versatility of his staff. In addition to exterior cladding in tongue and groove cedar and cement board and batten, he rough framed my rear deck, installed fence posts, fixed drywall, waterproofed roof penetrations and poured concrete for my sump pit. Well done guys!

My 112 year old house needed some care and a lot of tuck pointing. Great job by Jim and the team! Fast, tidy and great work. Highly recommend them! Jill from Toronto

We have worked with Jim and Justin and team before. They rebuilt our chimney in 2016 and this time we had another challenge for them. We wanted to rebuild our brick column supporting the front porch canopy. As it required proper support we had no other names in mind than Jim and Justin from Reach Restoration. We called them up and they said they’ve done this many times and would ensure all structural aspects of the job are verified by a civil engineer. The job was done quickly and professionally.

Our house is constructed of cement block covered over with brick and we had two elements to the work - cut an 8.5' hole in the family room north wall to fit a three-panel door and enlarge a window to make a door in the office.

Jim, Justin and team did a fabulous job. Jim provided an excellent explanation of how the work was to proceed, updates as they went along, and advice when issues surfaced. They arrived on time, did the work as scheduled, and cleaned up at the end.

We are very happy with the result.

Jim and team were truly unbelievable. The professionalism and quality of workmanship was unlike anything I have seen. Our house was painted a terrible brown colour and had areas that were almost completely deteriorated. Teamwork from Horizon Restoration (Blair) and Reach Restoration was unparalleled. Just take a look at the photo comparison. Jim was even able to match the original styling of the brick placement at the top. It was also a perfect colour match! People that live on the street cannot believe the change. The next door neighbour is especially happy that the houses are matching now :)

Jim and his team did a fantastic job restoring part of our semi-detached Victorian house, performing complete tuck pointing of one wall and replacing window sills, with remedial work elsewhere. Jim was very responsive throughout and extremely professional. Extra work was recommended and the communication around this was very clear. The clean-up was excellent. I would highly recommend Reach Restoration to anyone considering similar work.
