The bricks in our chimney were disintegrating. After obtaining a few quotes from different contractors we chose to work with Glenwood. Glenwood came highly recommended from our roofing company and while not the least expensive quote, Glenwood was competitive and provided a few options regarding how much work could be done. When they arrived, they were polite, efficient, neat, tidy, took evident pride in their work and finished the job in two days. Rudy was very pleased (as were we) that he was able to so closely match our house brick - an unusual multi-coloured brick. We are very happy with the end result and would recommend Glenwood to anyone.

Evening MEB,
Thanks for the review.
The brick on your building was an old style of Ontario sized Aztec Brick. The sun and weather had over the years washed out most of the brighter colours. The old style Aztec didn’t have any blacks on them like the new ones do. Most masons avoid using these bricks to match – I don’t. The new Aztec brick has the darker green or blacks only on one end. The other end of the brick is either red or yellow or a blend of the two. The trick to making it match is to make sure the every dark end is turned in toward the chimney and not exposed to the outside.
I really enjoyed the challenge of making your chimney match the house.
Glad that you are happy.
Thanks,
Rudy
