Paint removal, tuck point and brick replacement

Bill and his team were very knowledgable about the treatment and preservation of old brick houses and were happy to share this knowledge. They were punctual with their start and completion dates for the project. The job involved removing several old coats of paint from the brick and making any needed repairs to the brick and mortar. This included the rebuilding of an archway over a window which they did an excellent job of. If we have further brick needs in the future we'll definitely call on Victorian Restoration again.

Cleaning of Exterior Brick Edwardian Home

We arranged to have our large yellow brick duplex home built in 1926 with three porches and the front our our brick garage cleaned. Bill and his crew did a great job. They arrived on time as agreed and cleaned up everyday. It took two days. In addition to the cleaning Bill did the tuck work on the exterior, lower parts of the house, filling in gaps and cracks. We are grate for a job well done - it wasn't easy as this house had never been cleaned. Thank you.

Brick Restoration

I highly recommend Bill for any brick restoration work. I originally contacted Bill in the Fall of 2014 but decided to wait until the spring to work on some other projects first. To my surprise he remembered the house, quote and had the details instantly.
I removed Angel Stone Veneer myself from the front of my house because I wanted the façade back to its original state. There was 3 coats of paint underneath that he was able to wash off then tuck point the mortar back to match the top of the house.
He was very meticulous, clean and organized and fair priced for the type of service he provides.

Brick Work

Victorian Restoration is a great contractor. Bill, the manager/owner, and his crew, Jonathan and Tom, are real professionals, nice and polite. Bill is very accessible and always returned my calls timely. He is very patient. He took the time to explain the kind of work required and updated and consulted with us on a regular basis. Bill and his crew arrived always on time and completed the work according to schedule. Restoring the brick walls of our house required a lot of work. Many bricks on the walls of our old Victorian house deteriorated and needed replacement. I talked with a number of reputable contractors but none of them was willing to commit to replace the bricks with reclaimed ones. Bill went out of his way to find reclaimed bricks so that all the damaged bricks be replaced by reclaimed ones to match. Bill and his crew replaced the damaged bricks and the sills of four windows, fully repointed three walls and chemically cleaned them. They also made some smaller repairs and local repointing on two other walls. The transformation of the walls is impressive (as you can see from the pictures) and they now look beautiful. At the end of the work, all the rubble was removed and the yard was cleaned. The crew came back to make some small repairs that are always needed in such big scale project. And the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Brick cleaning restoring

I'm sorry it took me so long to write this review! We got our front porch redone in the spring and saw how grimy our brick looked (I was worried that the dark- grayish-red was actually the color of the brick). I found Victorian Restoration online, saw the great reviews, gave him a call. He was able to give me an estimate over the phone, which was great; he had a cancellation and came within a few days. After one afternoon, my brick now pops! I was surprised at how rich the colour of my brick actually is. He was able to remove some paint also that was all over the brick. I'll try to post a pic, we have a semi so it can be compared with the home we are attached to.

Brick Cleaning

Victorian Restoration cleaned the brick on my home in Toronto. From first contact, Bill was always professional. He was punctual, answered my many questions, offered various options and always returned phone calls. Bill and his crew carefully prepared the site, cleaned up each day and were considerate of the neighbours and surroundings. The removal of paint and cleaning of the brick was completed beautifully - I would definitely recommend Victorian Restoration.

Restoration of Facade

Terrific job! Bill and his crew are constant professionals, attentive and punctual. It took me awhile to find someone who could safely remove all the paint from the exterior of my old Victorian home without destroying or sandblasting the bricks. Bill and his crew work fast and were able to remove all the paint restoring my house to its former look. In addition to this he was able to replace all the mortar and replace some of the damaged bricks with old matching bricks. The name says it all, Victorian Restoration, he took the time and care to restore my old Victorian returning it to its pre-painted glory. If you have a painted brick house and you want it returned back to natural brick, I would highly recommend Bill and his crew.

--Brick Cleaning Paint Removal-- Pressure washing with a mixture of our specially formulated biodegradable brick cleaning solution to remove atmospheric carbon and dirt stains from brick and stone surfaces without causing damage to existing surfaces, restoring brick and stone to its original beauty. --Brick Repair Tuck pointing-- The mortar joint plays a significant role in the structure and structural integrity of the wall. It holds the bricks together, it bears the compressive weight of the wall just as the bricks, and it keeps water out of the wall. It is also the weak link in the brick wall system because if water is allowed to get past the mortar and into the wall, brick failure may occur such as cracking or popping (spalling). We can completely restore mortar joints by grinding out all existing mortar joints and replacing with new or spot point where needed throughout the brick structure to fill up any holes and cracks to stop any further damage from occurring. Bricks replacement is a necessary maintenance procedure on any home, bricks are cut out and replaced with new or reclaimed brick to match existing shape colour texture and size.
