Most masonry companies are called after the damage is already visible. Cracked mortar, spalling brick, moisture infiltration — these issues don’t happen overnight. They develop slowly, often hidden beneath the surface for years. Boreal was built to change that. We focus on preventing deterioration before it starts, using breathable protection systems designed specifically for Montreal’s climate. Our goal is simple: help homeowners avoid unnecessary and expensive repairs, extend the lifespan of their brick facades, and protect their property long-term.
Every building tells a different story. Our job is to identify where moisture is entering, how it’s affecting the structure, and how to stop it before damage spreads.



Brick masonry naturally absorbs water. Managing moisture exposure is essential for preserving masonry walls.
Protection systems must allow vapor to escapewhile reducing water absorption.
We help extend the life of your facade and reduce future repair costs.
We make brick protection straightforward, transparent, and effective.
We work with homeowners across Montreal whose buildings are exposed to harsh seasonal conditions.

Exposed duplex facades are continuously exposed to rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles throughout Montreal winters.

Triplex buildings rely on large exposed brick facades that benefit from long-term moisture protection

Historic masonry structures require breathable protection methods to preserve original brick materials.

Row houses often share exposed brick facades that experience similar weather exposure across entire streets.
Moisture damage develops slowly — but once it becomes visible, repairs can be costly. A professional assessment helps you stay ahead of the problem and protect your investment.
