This is a project that we recently completed in the Brockton Village neighborhood of Toronto. We used a heritage style molded brick and laid them using lime mortar. 🧱

We dismantled and rebuilt this Victorian era facade from the ground up in the Palmerston- Little Italy neighborhood in Toronto 🧱

We reclaimed as many suitable brick from the wall and reused them in the rebuild along with new matching brick. Lime mortar was used and mortar joints were tooled off to expose the aris of the brick.

Tight space and adverse weather made this project a battle. But if every project was in May we’d all be bricklayers and there would be no one to bake the bread, fly the planes and work the hospitals. 🙏

We dismantled and rebuilt this Victorian brick facade in the King West Neighborhood of Toronto 🧱

This facade had some of the worst deterioration you’ll find.

This facade in Cabbagetown, Toronto was completely dismantled and rebuilt from the stone foundation. Like many Victorian era brick facades it was painted and then sandblasted later in the 70s to strip the paint. This led to premature deterioration of the brick and continuous spalling. We managed to save roughly 20% of the old brick to use in the rebuild incorporating them with new matching brick. The brick we used was imported from Europe. This project took roughly 3 weeks to complete start to finish including the time petting the squirrel.

This is the third and final facade we rebuilt on Morse Street in Toronto. This one included reclaimed brick alongside the new heritage style matching brick. 🧱

Here’s some shots from a project we are working on Morse Street in Toronto. 🧱

When you restore a facade like this everyone gets to enjoy it. It’s like a pretty front garden. The local community gets just as much from it as the person living in the house. This has been apparent from the many comments we received from locals while working here.

The original house was completed in 1892 and to steal a phrase from -“interesting fact” the first recorded occupant was William Cox, bailiff.

The original brick had hung on valiantly until was engaged to rebuild the facade, including to reestablish the main floor window, and recreate the intricate decorative elements.

We were engaged to produce period appropriate windows, to restore a beautiful stained glass transom (Anton of KMG Studio) and reproduce interior trim mouldings - thanks for your expertise. Exterior is finished with
You can’t buy happiness, but you can certainly pay us to restore your victorian brick facade. While I don’t know what that feels like as a client, I’ve been told it’s absolutely wonderful. Like finding money in the pocket of an old jacket.

At some point in the 20th century the facade was painted. At a later point in time around the 70’s it was sandblasted. This pitted the face of the brick and left it susceptible to deterioration. The current owner was getting tired of constantly sweeping up bits of brick that would fall off the wall. Some times they would be little bits, other times the whole face. Bricks had been replaced over the years but it was an effort in futility. It was time to do something drastic. The last resort. It was time to call in the trowel and slickers 🤯.

This facade was completely dismantled and rebuilt. We used buff coloured lime mortar and heritage style molded brick in the rebuild. During the dismantle we found that there wasn’t enough good brick to reclaim so we opted for using all new brick for the rebuild. All the plinths, rock face brick and voussoirs for the arches were custom cut on site by us. We also installed new Indiana limestone sills.

A complete restoration of the facade of this Victorian home that we worked on in various stages over the past 3 years. Hundreds of hand cut squint bricks make up the 45 degree angles on the two bays. When I drive by it that’s what I see. Tons of cutting. In terms of before and after this is one of the more striking projects we’ve been involved in.

Going into it we had no idea what was behind the stucco. After removing some stucco we soon realized the brick behind was painted and not in great condition. Every single brick was carefully dismantled from the top down and the facade rebuilt using reclaimed and new matching brick. All original details were documented and recreated.

Having the opportunity to rebuild these Victorian facades is fairly unique to Toronto. The first time I ever worked on one many years ago I knew that if I could do this forever I’d be very content. It felt like I was following in the footsteps of a bricklayer 140 years ago. It was daunting. I didn’t know you could remove the brick off an entire elevation. I kept on making mistakes. I was slow. Always second guessing myself. Taking down and rebuilding yesterdays work. Now it’s second nature. I would like to think we’ve encountered and come up with solutions for all the problems that these residential Victorian facade rebuilds can throw at you. Even still something will catch you out. With experience, those things are minor.

Over the next 30 years we are going to see a tipping point in Victorian brickwork in Toronto. The majority of them need work and some of them will need to be completely rebuilt if they are to be maintained.

Some close up footage of before and after on our latest facade rebuild. The pressure is always on when doing these jobs. The details define the job. There’s no hiding your work. If you don’t do a good job, it’s there for everyone to see and you don’t want to let the dog walkers down. They’ve to walk by it everyday. When the scaffold comes down that’s when you see your mistakes. Fortunately we do a good few facade rebuilds every year so we’ve gotten quite good at them.

We used a brick from a Belgian manufacturer- on this project. We reclaimed a few hundred of the original brick and incorporated them in the rebuild.
