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!!

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.

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.

Restoration of brick and stone on Victorian heritage houses

Mario restored the brick and stone on multiple houses on Draper Street and also re-pointed them using limestone mortar. The houses were completely transformed by this work and remain visible for all to see. Also, Mario's work ethic and interaction with customers was excellent. He provided accurate estimates of the duration of work and always executed on time. Mario has been a very important part of the recent transformation of Draper Street into a beautiful historic enclave.

Invisible Tuckpointing was outstanding on all fronts.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
One may find contractors that are less expensive but the quality of the work will not be the same.

You efforts and the initiative you lead to bring a large segment of Draper Street to agree to undertake a restoration is commendable.

That street looks different because of you.

It was such a pleasure to get to know you and your wife.

Brick restoration/Tuckpointing

Mario is a professional. He provided a quotation, set a date, turned up on time, and completed the work exactly as promised. Quality of workmanship was exceptional. My level of satisfaction led to another major project at a seperate property .. where we had exactly the same experience.

Approximate cost of services:
$14,000.00

I have a lot of respect for you Dean, the type of career your lead, how you carry negotiations while remaining very fair, etc.

Dealing with you was exceptional.

I also realize that if I hadn't delivered, you probably would have chewed my head off, ha ha ha!
