I live in a 97 year old brick house in West Toronto. Having stripped the paint off the bricks on the back wall of the house, it was clear that the mortar had seen better days. I reached out to A&A. Nigel advised me that the bricks were in good shape, but the mortar on the back wall, the front porch pillar and a few other places would have to be ground out and replaced with new mortar. I agreed to proceed requesting a quick turnaround. Within two weeks, Tera came and did all the grinding in one day until quite late to make sure all the dust (and there was a lot of dust) was washed down. With some assistance from a colleague, Tera got the mortaring done in two additional days. I couldn't be happier with the result or the process. Tera did a great job. My brickwork is restored to it's original glory! Thanks Tera and all at A&A.

I wanted to replace two 1980's era windows in my home. I also wanted to replace the original oak trim around the windows, which was badly worn and cracked and drafty. Nick assisted me to select the right windows for my situation, and an installation procedure that would involve gutting and replacing the entire window openings, providing insulation to stop the drafts, and replacement of the worn out oak frames with new oak frames customized to match the profile of the wood in my house. Shortly afterwards, Layne the project manager visited, took measurements and explained the installation process. Within a few weeks the windows were ready, and a team of Edgar, Fernando and Luiz expertly removed the old windows and installed the new ones, complete with beautiful new oak frames, which I now only have to stain to match the other wood in my home. I'm thrilled with the results and very pleased with the entire process. Bravo to all!
