Brick & Stone Repair in Montreal and Quebec
Discover our repointing solutions to prevent infiltration and extend the life of your walls.
The Importance of Masonry Repair
Brick walls are durable, aesthetic, and iconic in many Quebec neighborhoods. But over time, exposure to harsh weather, freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture can deteriorate mortar joints, crack bricks, or cause them to break apart.
What starts as a superficial crack can quickly become a source of water infiltration, structural damage, or energy loss. That’s why quick and professional intervention is essential.
At Brique Maçonnerie, we operate throughout the greater Montreal area and major cities across Quebec to restore, reinforce, and extend the life of your existing masonry.

Our Specialized Services
1. Repointing
Repointing is at the core of brick wall maintenance. It involves removing damaged mortar between bricks or stones and replacing it with new mortar, perfectly suited to the building’s aesthetic and structural needs.
What you gain:
Better protection against water infiltration
Improved exterior appearance
Stabilization of weakened walls
Preservation of property value
Our team uses precision tools and carefully selects the color and texture of the mortar to ensure a perfect match with the existing masonry—especially for heritage buildings or those with architectural value.
2. Wall Crack Repair
Cracks are often the visible symptom of a deeper issue: ground movement, thermal expansion, or settling. Our approach always begins with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of the problem.
Types of cracks we handle:
Stair-step cracks in mortar joints
Vertical or horizontal cracks in bricks
Cracks caused by internal moisture
Cracks resulting from impact or structural deformation
We intervene using tailored techniques such as mortar injection, support reinforcement, or replacement of damaged sections.
3. Replacement of Damaged Bricks
Chipped, bulging, or loose bricks compromise both the appearance and safety of a wall. These damages are common after winter or on exposed facades.
Our method:
Precise identification of unstable areas
Controlled removal of affected bricks
Cleaning and preparation of the substrate
Installation of new or reclaimed bricks
Repointing and finishing for a seamless integration
We have an inventory of vintage bricks and collaborate with suppliers to find materials matching your building.

Recent Case Studies
Project 1: Residential Façade in Laval
A 40-year-old house had crumbling joints and cracked bricks after several harsh winters. In two days, our team replaced 40 bricks, repointed the entire façade, and applied a water-repellent treatment. Result: a refreshed façade and improved insulation.
Project 2: Party Wall in Montreal
A row house showed deep cracks along the party wall. After diagnosis, we reinforced the foundation, replaced the affected bricks, and redid the joints using traditional mortar.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does repointing cost per square foot?
The average price ranges between \$10 and \$20 per square foot, depending on the wall’s condition, the height of the work area, and the type of brick.
Is it possible to replace just a few bricks?
Yes. We can replace isolated bricks without redoing the entire wall, as long as the structure is not compromised.
Should I take action even if the cracks are small?
Yes. Cracks are entry points for water. It’s best to act early to avoid more costly repairs.
What are the signs that a mortar joint needs to be redone?
A joint that crumbles to the touch, lets water in, or has holes is a clear sign. A simple test: scrape the joint with a key — if it erodes easily, it’s time to take action.
