Brick and stonework Kingston ON
If you think about the oldest buildings and structures in the world that have been around for decades and centuries, we know that a great number of them used brick and stone.
So there’s no doubt that one of the main selling features of brick and stone work is their longevity. Their durability and versatility are also mentioned as top reasons for their popularity. We at Masonry Kingston are proud to be part of this long-standing trade that spans centuries where age old techniques are being employed but have been modified and perfected for modern times. Stonework is popular in many applications in the property’s interior and exterior. There is natural stone, which is taken from different areas of Ontario. It offers durability and a beautiful, classic and most notably unique look since there will be minor colour and textural variations that add to the aesthetics. There’s cultured or man-made stone for the more budget-conscious consumer, and these stones mimic the natural stone but at a lower price point, but not necessarily compromising its strength or durability. No matter which option you choose among the stones, our stonemasons will ensure that every stone work will be done with precision and care, so it’s made to last many years, even decades. Our brickwork is part of our bread and butter portfolio of services, as this ranges from wall additions, brick restoration and various types of brick repair. Our bricklayers have spent many years learning the trade from master brickmasons and it shows in the quality of our work. |

From the way we mix and apply the mortar to laying the bricks in a uniform and even manner, every attention to detail results in a beautiful project that lasts. If we showed you side by side the work of an experienced bricklayer with that of a novice, you will definitely notice the difference in quality - in the case of the latter, you’re more likely to notice mortar inconsistencies like colour and amounts, or sloppy application of the bricks themselves.
We’ve also perfected the technique of tuckpointing, which is a detailed method of applying mortar of varying shades to create the impression of fine joints. If done improperly, the deficiencies are unfortunately not inconspicuous, and that is what all masons want to avoid.
Masonry Kingston’s brick and stone masonry services include a variety of applications beyond what is commonly associated with these materials. It’s widely known that brick and stone are used for a property’s exterior, walkways, steps, porches, and retaining walls, but did you know that it’s become popular in other facets of the home or building? We’re talking about interior brick or stone columns and posts, fireplaces, interior accent walls, outdoor pool side, and outdoor grills. The potential uses are limited only by our own imagination.
We are excited with the opportunity to work with you. Masonry Kingston takes the preferences, expectations and budget of our clients very seriously and based on that, we communicate the best plan for the given space. Once everything is agreed upon, we continue to provide updates and give or take feedback to and from our clients. Our relationship with our customers is as important as the quality of our masonry work. Call us today to discuss your next project, whether it’s a brick repair or restoration or adding a stone walkway, we’ve done it all with the highest level of skill and we look forward to sharing that with you.
