A popular service request at Home Stone is for the rehabilitation, or installation of concrete walkways, poured concrete stairs, and patios. Many older homes in the GTA have original concrete parging, as a finished surface over exposed foundation walls, chimneys, and exterior wall surfaces. Proper restoration of these areas can involve the installation of metal lathes; over which a cement scratch coat and cement finish coat are applied. Rely on skilled masons who have the experience to perform a superior and durable result. It is common to see cement parging directly applied over deteriorated brick chimneys or parapet walls. While this method is relied upon by some, as a low-cost fix; it does not represent the best approach for durability. Over time the concrete can deteriorate and shale off in chunks. We believe such a job should be done well, by first ensuring the integrity of the structural masonry (bricks or blocks beneath); then securing a proper lathe to provide better adhesion of the finished concrete surface. Commercial clients can obtain installation for concrete loading docks, ramps, and structural concrete repair, including various masonry repair services.Please view our testimonials, which attest to a professional, and lasting result.
One of Home Stone’s most requested services; involves repairing, or rebuilding residential and commercial chimneys throughout the GTA.
Masonry repairs to chimneys include: replacing individually shaled or spalling bricks; grinding out deficient mortar joints, and neatly re-tooling new mortar into the affected joints. A specialty of ARM is the ability to closely match existing mortar colours.
To stop the infiltration of moisture; which seeps through comprised brick courses; often requires the replacement, or repair of the cap portion of the chimney. These cement caps which top off the chimney are either pre-cast concrete or are cast in place concrete, which requires creating a wood form and pouring the concrete to the correct design and specifications. A proper cap
Rebuilding chimneys involves removing the bricks to below roof grade. Next, rebuilding the chimney using similar type, or closely matching bricks (if the brick is no longer produced). A new precast concrete cap, or poured cement cap is installed at the chimney top. Also necessary are the replacement of interior clay flu tiles, and or re-setting the metal liner in the event the chimney serves the home’s gas furnace and or fireplace.
The installation of a metal animal screen/rain hats prevents vermin and water from entering the chimney flu’s. An advantage provided by Home Stone, is that metal flashings which are required to waterproof the base of the chimney to the roof, are completed properly by our roofing division. A properly rebuilt chimney will result in decades of service and durability. Costs associated with completing such work are influenced by the building’s access, roof pitch, and size of the chimney involved. It is important for consumers to select a proven, experienced masonry contractor whom places great attention on safety and quality of workmanship. Our experience with all types of architectural styles, heritage homes, and commercial buildings throughout Toronto and the GTA; means we can supply abundant references in your neighbourhood.
