Restore deteriorating mortar joints and aging masonry façades with preservation-focused repointing and restoration designed for Montreal’s climate and older brick buildings.
Over time, exposure to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and environmental wear can weaken mortar joints and contribute to brick deterioration. If left untreated, damaged joints can allow additional moisture penetration and accelerate façade deterioration.
Boreal Masonry Protection focuses on restoration approaches that help preserve the long-term integrity, appearance, and durability of masonry façades while supporting proper moisture performance.

What is masonry repointing?
Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with new mortar designed for the masonry system.
Why do mortar joints deteriorate?
Mortar joints are exposed to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, environmental wear, and long-term aging.
Can deteriorated mortar lead to water damage?
Yes. Damaged joints can allow additional moisture penetration into the masonry system.
Should older masonry be restored early?
Addressing deterioration early can help reduce the risk of larger structural or moisture-related issues over time.
