Masonry restoration

Residential and commercial masonry restoration

Masonry restoration is an art that combines technique, precision, and respect for architectural heritage. At JG Lessard, we take pride in offering customized solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings across Quebec. With years of experience, we understand the unique challenges posed by local climate conditions and the importance of preserving the aesthetic and structural value of constructions.

Why choose masonry restoration?

Over time, external elements such as wind, rain, and especially the freeze-thaw cycles typical of Quebec’s climate can deteriorate bricks, stones, and mortar. If left unaddressed, these damages risk compromising the structural integrity of the building. This is where our brick restoration and stone restoration services become crucial.

A prompt intervention can not only extend the lifespan of your walls but also preserve their beauty. For example, damaged masonry can lead to water infiltration, which in turn causes costly issues such as mold or the deterioration of interior structures.

A tailored approach to your masonry needs

Every project is unique. Before beginning any masonry work, we conduct a thorough inspection to assess the condition of your walls and identify areas that require repairs. Here are some of the services we offer:

Replacement of damaged bricks and stones: We use high-quality materials, often chosen to match the building's original appearance.

Wall repointing: Replacing worn mortar ensures not only aesthetics but also watertightness and structural stability.

Specialized cleaning: Using gentle techniques like sandblasting or controlled-pressure washing, we remove dirt while respecting the integrity of the materials.

Our teams work with precision to restore your building while minimizing disruptions, an essential advantage for occupied commercial or residential properties.
