Honest assessments, matched brick, mortar that belongs, and a written, transferable warranty on every repair since 1998.
Get a free assessmentCall (905) 555-0186Third owner, same standard since 1998: do it once, in writing, with mortar that matches.
Crowns, caps, flashing, and full above-roofline rebuilds, matched brick, proper flue, built to OBC Part 9.
Failed mortar is cut out and repointed with the right mix rather than smeared over, so the wall breathes and the water stays out.
Honest triage first: cosmetic cracks named as cosmetic, structural ones fixed properly and warrantied in writing.
New veneer, matching repairs, and heritage-sensitive restoration that blends with the original.
WETT-certified inspections for insurance, purchases, and peace of mind, report the same day.
Concrete steps, porch caps, and parging that survive freeze-thaw instead of shedding in spring.
Most cracks are cosmetic; a few are structural. This is roughly how Brickhollow reads them, and the homeowner hears which kind it is even when the answer earns the crew nothing.
Hairline cracks, vertical shrinkage lines, cracks in parging only. Worth watching, rarely worth losing sleep, or paying for.
Stair-step cracks in block or brick, horizontal cracks, anything visibly widening season over season. Book the free assessment.
White staining, spalling faces, crumbling mortar: the wall is showing where the water goes. All of it is fixable, and best fixed before winter does the fixing.
Brickhollow looks at the wall, the water paths, and the history, and listens to what the homeowner has noticed changing.
Cosmetic or structural, in plain English, with photos of what the crew saw and the reasoning.
One number for the right repair. No scare quotes, no “while we’re up there” surprises.
The repair, the materials, and the workmanship, on paper, transferable if you sell.
Insurers ask wood-burning homes for a WETT report, often with very little notice. Every repair Brickhollow does leaves with paper: the scope, the photos, the warranty.
Level 1 inspections for insurance and home purchases, typically $250–$400, report delivered the same day, formatted the way insurers want it.
Repair, materials, and workmanship on paper, and the warranty travels with the house on a sale.
Chimneys to OBC Part 9 and CSA B365 clearances, because the prettiest rebuild is worthless if the inspector fails it.
“Two other companies quoted a full chimney rebuild. Brickhollow repointed the top six courses and replaced the crown for a third of the price. It’s been perfect through two winters.”
Diane W.Whitby“Insurance gave us ten days to produce a WETT report. Inspected Tuesday, report in hand Tuesday night. Saved the renewal.”
Marcus F.Oshawa“Told me my basement crack was cosmetic and charged me nothing to look. When the porch needed real work a year later, guess who I called.”

Same-day WETT reports
Usually not, hairline and vertical shrinkage cracks are typically cosmetic. Stair-step cracks, horizontal cracks, or anything widening year over year deserves eyes on it. The assessment is free either way, and the homeowner hears honestly which kind it is.
Crown and cap repairs often run in the hundreds; most above-roofline rebuilds land between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on height and brick; full rebuilds more. One fixed written number follows the visit.
Typically $250–$400 for an insurance-grade Level 1 inspection, and we fast-track insurer deadlines, inspected this week, report the same day.
In writing, always, repair, materials, and workmanship. And the warranty is transferable if you sell the house.
A look, a plain-English answer, and a fixed price only if you actually need one.
