Services
Masonry Repair
Our masonry repair service restores structural integrity to brick and stone buildings across Toronto. Using traditional techniques and quality materials, we address cracks, erosion, and weather damage while maintaining historical accuracy. Clients benefit from enhanced property value and long-term durability against Toronto's climate extremes.
Chimney Rebuilding
Chimney rebuilding services address structural failures and safety hazards in residential and commercial chimneys. We follow strict safety protocols to reconstruct chimneys using code-compliant materials, ensuring proper ventilation and restoring the original architectural character of Toronto properties.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing services remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with fresh material to prevent water infiltration. This critical maintenance extends building lifespan by protecting against freeze-thaw cycles in Toronto's climate while improving visual appeal through clean, uniform joints.
Brick Replacement
Brick replacement services address damaged or spalled bricks in Toronto buildings. We match existing brick characteristics to maintain aesthetic consistency while eliminating structural weaknesses caused by moisture penetration and freeze damage over decades of service.
Exterior Wall Parging
Exterior wall parging applies a protective cement coating to masonry surfaces. This service improves weather resistance and visual appearance by covering cracks and surface erosion on foundation walls and above-grade structures throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

Tuck pointing and threshold repair. Did a great job for a fair price compared to other companies. It's been a few months and you can barely tell where the mortar repair was done.

Brian and the Cummins Restoration team did an incredible job tuckpointing the house. Brian fully understood what was needed and wanted and not only was he professional and efficient, but he was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Cummins Restoration over and over again. Thanks Brian!
