Restoration : Masonry, Tuckponting, Heritage House, built 1888

Mario Cantin is in my opinion the best person to restore your heritage masonry. He is kind, caring and a consumate professional. He does his research and works to achieve what the Homeowner wants and needs. He actually does a "custom" job --- he finds the masonry adaptation that best suites your home. He came recommended to me by Heritage Preservations Services of Toronto as well as several of my neighbours in the East Annex. I walked around and looked at their houses --- very good work and the neighbours raved about him. He uses several tints to match the mortar and a variety of old techniques to match the bricks. You arrive back every night to a spotlessly clean work zone, and he works with your neighbours to limit disruption, noise, dust etc. I must confess I was moved to tears (of joy) when the completion of the restoration of our Victorian home was revealed to me. The work is beautiful ---- it exceeded my expectations. So much so I engaged Mario Cantin again this past month to restore the side and back of the house : again a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Mario Cantin and his team at Invisible Tuckpointing. They are a 12 out of 10!!

Approximate cost of services:
$7,500.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
A 10 out of 10 cannot be improved.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Do your research, read about masonry, restoration etc. even if you don't have a Heritage house. There are some crazy guys out there with a bag of cement and for a few bucks could do serious damage to your home. Get several quotes, learn from the info or lack of in the quotes, get referrals, go and SEE their work before you commit to anything. The exterior of your house is too important to risk to amateurs.

Company Response

Alison, now weren't you such a sweetheart!

You are a sensitive, beautiful soul.

The kind of spontaneous, honest reaction you had to our work is why I still love this business.

I consider you and your husband as friends.
