Crumbling mortar can let water into brickwork, then Toronto freeze-thaw cycles can open the joints further. Antex assesses damaged mortar at your home, measures the repair area by laser, and sends an itemized estimate with labour and materials split out. We don't price this work by phone because joint condition, access, and the amount of failed mortar have to be seen first.
Built on trust and quality.

A cracked or missing joint may be limited to the mortar, or it may sit beside other visible damage. The site visit separates the repair area from concerns that need to be discussed before pricing.
Your project manager measures the affected masonry on site and records access conditions. That gives the estimate a defined repair area instead of a broad allowance based on a photo or phone call.
Exterior mortar work depends on suitable conditions. Toronto's wet thaws and freezing temperatures affect exposed masonry, so we discuss timing and give an approximate installation date after the site visit.
Point At the Masonry Repair You Need
Most people notice what is wrong with their masonry before they know the name for it. Choose the signs and situation that match your property, and Antex will turn that starting point into a measured scope and a clear price.
We look at the damaged joints in person before we price the work. The estimate describes the agreed repair area, so the work isn't based on simply covering what can be seen from the sidewalk.
The visit is where we review the existing masonry and the appearance you want the repair to have. You can raise concerns about older brick, stone, or a repair that must not stand out at the entrance.
You receive an itemized written estimate, held for two weeks. The price changes only if you change the scope or materials, so an added area is discussed rather than quietly added.
We assess the joints and surrounding masonry during the site visit and explain what we can see. If the condition points beyond the agreed repair scope, we say so before anything is ordered.
Floors and planting are covered where the site requires it, dust is kept down, and old material is removed. Waste is carted away so you can use the entrance or patio again when the job is finished.
Mortar applied over loose or crumbling material can break away again. The gap remains exposed, and water can keep working into the brickwork through freeze-thaw weather.
A visibly different mortar colour or finish can draw attention to the repair. This is especially frustrating on an older brick front where the rest of the wall is still in decent shape.
Hidden deterioration may only become visible once failed mortar is addressed. Without a defined scope and a conversation about changes, homeowners can be left guessing what the final work includes.
Crumbling joints can appear beside cracks, movement, or other masonry damage. Treating every problem as a simple repointing job can leave an important concern unaddressed.
Masonry repair creates debris around doors, paths, and planting. A job that is not contained or cleared properly can leave the front of the house difficult to use after the crew leaves.
The repair can be limited to a chimney, an entrance wall, a porch, or mortar joints around a patio. We measure the affected area and assess access before pricing, because ladders, height, and the condition of the masonry change the scope. Toronto thaw cycles and road salt can worsen exposed joints, so suitable weather and the repair area are confirmed on site.
We inspect the damaged joints in person and laser-measure the repair area. That gives you a written scope and itemized estimate rather than a number guessed from photographs.
Materials and labour are set out in the estimate before you approve the project. We give an approximate installation date, and we call if that date moves.
The work area is protected where needed, dust is kept down, and waste is removed. Your project manager does the final check with you before the remaining balance is paid.
These completed repointing projects show the symptoms homeowners found, where the damage appeared, and when it became noticeable. Each card reflects a different masonry condition, from weathered facade joints to vulnerable chimney, foundation, and opening details.
Failed joints across a house facade were renewed after winter exposure left sections of brickwork open.
Homeowners value a clear process, careful site work and a proper handover.
Wonderful experience. Antex team installed our glass shower enclosure and it looks great. Service was fast without sacrificing quality.
Anyone can hang a panel of glass. Antex is different in four ways that show up on your invoice, your calendar, and your final inspection.
You should know what is being repaired before the work begins, and who to contact while it is underway. The process keeps measurement, pricing, timing, cleanup, and the final walkthrough in view, so a damaged joint does not become an installation-day surprise.
Your project manager visits the property, reviews the visible masonry condition, measures the affected area by laser, and discusses access. Within one to two business days, you receive an itemized estimate with materials and labour split out. It is valid for two weeks, and no materials are ordered until you approve the scope.
Once approved, we arrange materials and provide an approximate installation date. Lead time depends on material availability, and exterior work also depends on suitable weather. Where a written timeline applies, you receive one. If the date moves, we call you rather than leaving you to chase an update.
We protect floors and planting where needed, keep dust down, and remove old material and waste. Your project manager provides daily progress updates while work is running and completes the final check himself. We walk the completed work with you before the remaining 10% payment is due.
Antex serves Toronto and the GTA from Mississauga. Book a free on-site measurement for a qualifying project, and we will assess the damaged mortar, measure the repair area, and send an itemized estimate within one to two business days. There is nothing to sign at the door, and nothing is ordered until you approve the scope.
