Ten recent projects from Rosedale to Vaughan, from a $6,000 chimney crown to a $42,000 lakefront heritage restoration. Safe-generic photos only: we never publish client faces or addresses.
Leaning stack rebuilt after an ice storm in nine days, heritage brick and lime mortar matched. Drone inspection on day one, written quote the next day, BCIN reviewed crown detail and a cast-in-place cap with drip edge.
Flaking east wall stripped back to sound block after an infrared moisture scan, acrylic bonding membrane applied and a hand-smoothed finish coat built in two passes to grade.
Crumbling 40-year-old concrete steps replaced with hand-cut Credit Valley limestone treads on frost-depth footings, with a matching landing and railing posts reset.
Full facade survey, reclaimed brick replacement, jack arch repairs and lime repointing on a Victorian semi, staged over five draws with a scaffold and street occupancy permit.
Foundation parging program on a multi-unit building, phased so tenants kept access, with WSIB and liability documents and insurance paperwork for the water-damaged section.
Stone and brick restoration on a lakefront home exposed to Lake Ontario weather, with lime repointing, reset stone sills and breathable detailing to slow future salt and wind damage.
Cracked mortar-wash crown on a postwar bungalow replaced with a cast-in-place concrete crown with overhang and drip edge, plus new counter flashing.
Spalled brick cut out and replaced with reclaimed units, then two elevations tuckpointed with mortar matched to the original after a sample panel was approved.
Multiple leaking cracks mapped with infrared moisture detection and sealed from inside with trenchless injection, no excavation and no torn-up landscaping.
Interlocking driveway built on an excavated, compacted granular base with edge restraint, plus a natural stone entry feature and steps.
"Chimney was leaning after the ice storm. Marty walked the roof Tuesday, quote Wednesday, rebuild done in nine days. Heritage brick match is perfect, you cannot tell it was ever rebuilt."
"Foundation parging was flaking off the whole east wall. Toronto Elite stripped it, applied acrylic membrane, finished with hand-smoothed stucco. Looks better than the day the house was built."
"Front steps were crumbling after 40 winters. Full stone step rebuild with hand-cut Credit Valley limestone. Marty's crew hit every detail, zero cracks after 18 months."
"Our house sits in the Cabbagetown Heritage Conservation District and two other masons told us approvals were our problem. Toronto Elite Masonry's expeditor filed the Heritage Preservation submission, Marty mixed three lime mortar samples on a test panel and the city signed off on the first one. The front elevation now looks like 1885 again, and the recipe is on file for next time."
"We manage a 60-unit rental building and the foundation parging was failing on three sides. Toronto Elite scanned every wall for moisture, phased the work so tenants kept access, and billed our insurer directly for the water-damaged section. WSIB and liability certificates were in my inbox before the scaffold arrived."
"Water was coming through a basement crack on a Sunday night. They were here in under four hours, injected the crack the next morning and the basement has stayed dry through two storms since."
