Cracked mortar, loose brick, and failing entrance steps can take on more water through another Toronto winter. We inspect the affected area on site, measure it by laser, and send an itemized estimate with materials and labour split out. We don't quote by phone because the visible crack doesn't show the full repair scope.
Built on trust and quality.
Trusted by Toronto Homeowners & Builders Since 2010
A cracked joint or loose unit does not automatically mean the whole porch, wall, or step needs replacement. The site visit separates the visible damage from the work that can be confirmed before pricing.
Your project manager laser-measures the repair area before an estimate is prepared. That gives you a written scope to compare against other quotes instead of a vague allowance.
Toronto freeze-thaw cycles force water into cracks and joints. Installation can continue through winter when weather and the type of job allow, and material availability affects lead time.
Point At the Masonry Repair You Need
You may know what looks wrong before you know the masonry term for it. Select the signs and setting that fit your property, and Antex will assess what is there, measure the work on site, and bring the repair price back to the masonry you actually need.
We visit the property and laser-measure the affected area before preparing an estimate. The written scope identifies what is included, and the price changes only if you change the scope or materials.
The on-site visit lets us review the existing brick, stone, and mortar around the repair area. Materials are supplied to the measurements and scope confirmed before anything is ordered.
We look at the surrounding masonry during the visit because Toronto snowmelt, rain, and repeated freezing can worsen small openings. If the cause cannot be confirmed from the visible area, we say so.
You receive an approximate installation date and a written timeline where one applies. We provide an update at the end of each working day and call when a date moves.
We cover planting and nearby surfaces, keep dust down, and cart away waste. Your project manager checks the work with you at the final walkthrough before the remaining balance is paid.
Pricing only the crack you can see can leave loose material or a larger affected area outside the quote. That creates a surprise once work starts.
New mortar or replacement material can stand out beside older brick or stone. A visibly different repair can be hard to ignore from the street.
Freeze-thaw damage returns when water enters joints or cracks, freezes, and expands. Repointing the same area without checking the surrounding condition can repeat the problem.
Exterior repairs depend on weather conditions. A contractor who ignores the forecast can leave a homeowner unclear about timing or the next step.
Rubble, dust, and stored material can make a front path difficult to use. This matters more when the entrance is your only way in and out.
The scope may be a small area of failed pointing or a larger section around a porch, entrance, wall, or chimney. Toronto winters, salt, snowmelt, and wet thaws can change what is visible on the surface. We confirm the applicable Ontario Building Code requirement on site where it applies.
We inspect and measure on site before quoting because cracked mortar can hide a wider affected area. The estimate separates materials from labour and explains the approved scope.
Stone is supplied and custom cut by stone suppliers when a project needs it. Lead time depends on material availability, and we give an approximate installation date.
Planting and nearby surfaces are covered while we work. Waste is removed, dust is kept down, and your project manager completes the final walkthrough with you.
These completed masonry repair projects show the symptoms homeowners noticed, where they appeared, and when they developed. Each card documents a different repair situation common to Toronto properties, from weathered mortar and brick damage to moisture marks, loose chimney masonry, and movement around openings.
Open mortar joints on a house facade were renewed after years of gradual weathering exposed gaps between the bricks.
Homeowners appreciate a clear process from the first measurement through the final walkthrough.
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, when work is likely to happen, and what happens if the scope changes. The process keeps those decisions visible from the first site visit through cleanup and the final walkthrough.
A project manager visits the property, reviews the visible damage, and laser-measures the affected area. Within one to two business days, you receive an itemized estimate that separates materials and labour. It is valid for two weeks, and nothing is ordered until you approve it.
Once approved, materials are supplied to the agreed scope. We provide an approximate installation date and a written timeline where one applies. Material availability and weather can affect timing, so we call if the date moves rather than leaving you to chase an answer.
We cover planting and nearby surfaces, keep dust down, and remove old material and waste. The project manager checks the completed work and walks it with you. The remaining 10% is paid after that final walkthrough, not before.
Toronto and GTA homeowners can book a free on-site measurement for qualifying projects. We'll assess the visible damage, measure the repair area, and send an itemized estimate within one to two business days. Nothing needs to be signed in your home, and nothing is ordered until you approve the scope.
