Masonry Kingston ONWelcome to Masonry Kingston. We are a proud Canadian and family-operated business and are among the best local masonry companies that serve residents and business owners of Kingston, ON and surrounding areas. Nearly all residential and commercial services that deal with laying bricks, stones and ancillary services are done with care by our stone and brick masons. Feel free to peruse this site for detailed descriptions of the various masonry services we provide in Kingston.
Our masonry company operates under some core values, and these include things like trust, communication and reliability, traits that are the core foundation of any relationship, including business-client relationships. These values stem from our deep desire to be part of a long-standing trade that, even well into the 21st century with advanced technologies and many jobs being replaced by machines, masonry is going strong. We will always need shelter and need buildings, so with those, there’s a certain amount of maintenance, repair and restoration that will be required. So what does a mason do exactly? In general terms, they use bricks, stones or concrete blocks to build structures, which may include chimneys, enclosures, walkways, walls, fireplaces and anything else that’s limited only by our imagination. In a nutshell, that’s what we do, along with complementary services that help preserve, maintain and refresh. Here are some of the services we provide: |

Porches, steps and walkways: installing bricks or blocks is not as simple as just laying it on a surface. There are many nuances that many people don’t realize need to go into this job. For example, the foundation for walkways, porches and steps will likely be different. Walkway stones need to be applied on grade on the ground and allowances made for the stones to potentially shift or move with contraction and expansion. Stones applied on steps, on the other hand, must be laid on a strong, minimally or non-moving foundation block. If applied improperly, this can lead to uneven surfaces which can be a tripping hazard and other complications like cracked mortar. Masonry Kingston will confidently install porches, steps and walkways with the utmost precision so you’ll be able to enjoy a beautiful, functional and durable product for years to come.
Chimney and fireplace repairs: in many old dwellings, chimneys and fireplaces have lived through many years of wear and tear from use and environmental factors like our harsh winters bringing on snow, ice and hail to cause additional damage. You might see cracks in the brick, spalling (when bricks fall from its structure, which is dangerous if it’s coming from up above like a building or chimney), or staining. Our masonry contractors ensure that your fireplace or chimney repairs will not only improve its appearance, but that their function and safety are restored.
Brick repairs: you’ll find similar issues as in chimneys and fireplaces, but at a potentially larger scale. Kingston has many beautiful homes and buildings, and with age brings a look of distinction and history, but also structures that need some refacing or repairs. Common issues that arise needing brick, concrete blocks or stone repairs include cracks, spalling, staining, displacement and leakage, which are common problems seen in chimney repairs too. Masonry Kingston will repair these structures with care to restore their integrity and give it a facelift if needed. This leads us to the next point…
Waterproofing: brick walls and foundations with no cracks should have enough integrity to withstand water leakage. However, you’ll need additional insurance for your home or dwelling in areas highly susceptible to water damage, and this includes the foundation surrounding a basement. We have perfected a specialized technique that waterproofs the masonry and foundation to prevent the symptoms of water leakage and mould which would have ultimately led to the disease of damaged structural integrity, with the bonus of being unsightly.
Parging: in our industry, this term is well-known, but a lot of people not trades or construction have either never heard of it, or have heard of it and have no idea what it is. If you’re in the latter camp, think of parging as adding frosting to a birthday cake. You can have the cake without frosting, but the frosting makes the cake look complete and pretty, and to a certain degree helps protect the soft fragile cake within. The same goes for parging which involves adding a mortar mixture to a brick or concrete wall, usually at the base, to create a complete visually appealing look and additional protection from the elements like snow and rain.
Stone work: masonry is often associated with bricks, but we use other materials to create walls and structures including concrete blocks and natural stone. Stone can be used on walls, walkways, pool decks, accent fence posts, accent columns and whatever your heart desires. If you have space, we can build it.
