Cambridge Masonry Contractors

Masonry that has been installed and maintained properly can last for decades or even generations. However, exposure to moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, building settlement and aging materials can eventually lead to cracked brick, loose stone or block, deteriorated mortar and other problems.

GRIMCON provides professional masonry repair, restoration and construction services throughout Cambridge. Our projects range from smaller residential repairs to large commercial and institutional builds.

Masonry Restoration

Replace damaged brick, stone, block and mortar while preserving appearance and character of existing building.

Brick, Block & Stone Replacement

Cracked, loose or deteriorated brick can lead to moisture entering the wall and cause further damage. GRIMCON will replace damaged brick and work to match the existing colour, texture and pattern as closely as possible.

Repointing & Facade Repair

Removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with new mortar is called repointing. Repointing is done when mortar joints deteriorate naturally over time. GRIMCON will remove failing mortar and replace it with new material.

CHIMNEY REPAIRS & REBUILDS

GRIMCON provides chimney masonry repairs and restoration, including deteriorated mortar and damaged brick, for homes and businesses throughout the Cambridge area.

BLOCK MASONRY

Professional concrete block masonry for repairs, restoration and new construction. We repair cracked or damaged block, deteriorated mortar joints and structural masonry while focusing on durable, long-lasting workmanship.

PARGING & FOUNDATION REPAIR

Cracked foundations, damaged parging and moisture issues can lead to bigger problems over time. GRIMCON provides foundation and masonry repairs, parging restoration and waterproofing.

LINTELS, SILLS & STRUCTURAL REPAIRS

Movement around windows and doors can be caused by deteriorated lintels, damaged sills or structural issues within the masonry. We can make repairs, replacements and modifications to existing masonry openings when needed.

Professional masonry sealing helps protect brick, stone, block and mortar from moisture penetration, weather exposure and premature deterioration. Proper sealing can help extend the life of masonry while preserving its appearance.

Cambridge Masonry Repair Contractor

Masonry Repair & Restoration in Cambridge

Water that penetrates brick, stone or mortar can turn a small problem into a large one. Failed mortar joints, cracks in brick or stone, deteriorated window and door surrounds and other openings can allow water into your wall system. Once water gets behind the exterior surface, our freeze-thaw cycles can quickly worsen the damage. Repairing the damage early can reduce the risk of further problems and prolong the life of your existing masonry.

GRIMCON will assess the visible symptoms of the masonry and identify what may be causing the problem. Based on the condition of the structure, we may recommend localized brick replacement, repointing, structural repairs, waterproofing or full restoration.

Residential Masonry in Cambridge

Masonry is used by homeowners throughout Cambridge for exterior walls, chimneys, foundations, porches, steps, retaining walls and decorative accents.

GRIMCON provides services for cracked or damaged brick, deteriorating mortar joints, crumbling chimneys, foundation parging, stone repairs and brickwork around doors and windows.

If your repair requires older masonry to be replaced, we will always make every effort to match the replacement with the existing structure so that it blends in and does not stick out. GRIMCON takes particular pride in its brick-repair service. Matching existing products, colours, textures and patterns is always a priority.

Commercial & Institutional Masonry

When dealing with commercial or institutional structures, there are often other concerns that need to be considered when planning your repair. Access to the area, public safety, tenants in the building, ongoing business operations, scheduling and coordination with other contractors can all play a role in how the project gets accomplished.

GRIMCON works on all types of commercial properties, including offices, commercial buildings, multi-unit properties, schools and other institutional buildings, as well as industrial properties. Services include facade repairs, repointing, replacement of brick and masonry blocks, lintel repairs, waterproofing and structural repairs. GRIMCON also provides commercial masonry maintenance.

Reasons Cambridge Property Owners Select GRIMCON

There’s more to quality masonry work than simply making a deteriorated area appear better. The work needs to correct the root cause of the masonry issue. The repair also needs to be performed with the right materials and techniques for the building.

The company prides itself on accurate site evaluations, quality workmanship, communication and clean, professional work sites. GRIMCON’s crews are also fully insured and WSIB compliant.

Deb McCarter

I highly recommend Grimcon Inc. This company did the parging on my front porch after the 1050's cement porch was repaired. Their employees demonstrated a great attitude and professionalism. They explained what they had to do and made wise suggestions. They showed up on the agreed upon time and completed their work, as well as the clean up, thoroughly. As a matter of fact, they are coming back in the spring to repoint my chimney!

Allen Vasicek

The team did a really nice job with the work they did at our place. Alex was really accommodating with what we needed. Definitely getting them back to do more work!

Joy

Alex at GRIMCON was super flexible and gladly worked around another contractor to make needed repairs to the stone foundation and masonry on our 1870s home. He explained everything clearly, answered any questions we had, and did a great job - including clean up at the end. His office manager, Tara, was also very personable, helpful, and easy to work with. We will be happy to call Alex at GRIMCON back for any other work we need to have completed.

David Fanning

We had Grimcon replace our chimney which was in bad repair. Entire process was very smooth. Alex provided a drone inspection, showed us exactly what was wrong and what needed to be done. Quote came quickly, scheduling easy. Best part of working with Grimcon was the care - excellent cleanup of our property. The work required scaffolding on our neighbours property. They tarped and used wood to prevent any damage, and powerwashed our neighbors eavestrough without asking. Crews were professional, everyone was great to work with.

Henna Lainson

I’ve worked with parts of Grimcons crew on a one to one basis this year and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it all! A cohesive and professional crew, with an eye for detail and passion for their craft! I would 100% recommend calling them for all your masonry needs!

Shingletown Roofing

We worked alongside Grimcon on a recent project and had a great experience! The team is highly skilled in their craft, with fantastic care and workmanship, and their customer service is top-notch. Their communication was great, and they made it very seamless to work alongside. We highly recommend Grimcon, you will not be disappointed!

C Cowtan

We had Grimcon come and take down a non working chimney that was crumbling. We had the best experience with this company- from start to finish! These are the things that impressed me about dealing with Grimcon- communication- from start of the project, throughout the project and after the project was done. Alex even took videos to show me what I couldn’t see up on the roof line. Customer service - goes hand in hand with their great communication skills. They listen, they care and they treat you like their number one priority. Alex also took the time to ask for feedback on their services, asked what was done right and where they could improve. Not to mention, Alex and Dennis were on time, friendly, had great customer service and they really worked hard the whole day they were here. The project we had required a roofer as well and Grimcon took that hassle on for us- they included in their quote the price for the roofing company to complete their portion of the job as well. And they couldn’t have picked a better roofing company to partner with. Matt & Henna from Shingletown Roofing were also amazing to work with. Great customer service, friendly and explained all the work they were completing. Both companies were excellent to work with and I will be sharing these company names with everyone I know. Highly recommend and would have either company back to complete any job.

Maclean Shanks

We were referred to Grimcon by another company to repair parging. The crew that came to our home, Bailey and Chris completed the work quickly and the finished product looks great, they were friendly and approachable. Tara was fantastic, everything was prompt, explained thoroughly and there was consistent communication with dates and timelines. I would highly recommend them.

Brent Butcher

We were referred to Alex and the Grimcon team by a foundation company to properly block off and seal a basement window that had been boarded over and closed in behind a finished wall by a previous homeowner and was concealed on the outside by our front steps. Over the years the brick surrounding the opening had degraded and there was an issue with both water entering the basement and access for mice. During the initial consultation with Alex we found him to be knowledgable, straightforward and thorough (he was on site for almost an hour to discuss the issue and gather information for his quote). He also included a walkaround of the house (built in the 1920s) to inspect our brickwork generally and look at other potential areas that could grow into larger problems, and categorized other possible repairs as critical or less urgent/purely aesthetic. We appreciated that approach, offering us the opportunity to bundle some work while they were already on site to save on a future project. Alex's team was available to work at our place within about three weeks, completing the work on the window opening along with applying a skim coat of hydraulic cement to degraded areas of the foundation wall. As part of the same project we also had repointing done in several places on the exterior and a number of broken bricks removed and replaced. Alex did a fantastic job of finding a suitable modern brick to integrate into the original masonry and dyed the mortar to a shade that suited the surrounding brickwork and made the repair seamless -- both touches we really appreciated. We encountered an additional area of the basement wall that needed repair after the project was underway, which expanded the scope of the original work, and Alex was flexible on adding more work to the job and communicated clearly and transparently on the additional cost. The workers who handled our exterior work, Bailey and Chris, were great and very respectful of our home and property, cleaning up thoroughly after each day of work and being very mindful about not damaging the plants in the front garden while stepping through the area to do repointing of the brick along the front of the house. We enjoyed working with Grimcon and would hire them again. I would recommend considering Alex and his team for your project.

Tom O'Neill

Chris, Dennis, Alex and Bailey did a fantastic job on my chimney and wall repair. Chimney had some bricks broken/falling after the winter, they assessed it and quickly gave me a very good quote, and then came out within a few weeks to fix it. The craftsmanship was excellent on a difficult project, and they kept me up to date as the project progressed
