Brick Repair

Our specialties include brick replacement, door and window re-sizing, pillar rebuilds, and re-facing exterior walls.  Many projects involve finding a match to an existing brick on the home or building.

Fire Places and Chimney Systems

Exposed to frequent rain, wind, snow, and extreme temperatures, your chimney stands as one of the most susceptible areas on the exterior of your residence. Typically, the bricks and mortar of a chimney deteriorate before other parts of the house. A compromised chimney represents a significant safety hazard to your household. Addressing any identified issues promptly is paramount in maintaining the structural integrity and safety of your chimney..

Custom Stone Work

We specialize in constructing complete walls for houses or buildings, as well as creating retaining walls, flagstone patios, walkways, window sills, wall copings, and fireplaces using either natural stone or veneer stone.
Working with natural stone is a highly intricate aspect of masonry, requiring meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of stone arrangement to achieve the desired aesthetic. With extensive experience in various types of stone, Maclaren Masonry Masonry excels in this demanding craft.

Block

Experienced in concrete block work, we excel in tasks ranging from block repairs to constructing retaining walls or laying new foundations. Our expertise covers projects of all sizes, ensuring a tailored solution for every job.

Foundations

Foundations are considered the most important part of the construction of a house. We build our foundations and frost walls out of block and ICF. These materials provide excellent stability and insulation, ensuring the longevity and energy efficiency of the home. The foundation must be carefully planned and executed, as it bears the weight of the entire structure and resists various forces, such as soil pressure and weather conditions.

Restoration

Over time, bricks inevitably deteriorate, becoming chipped, broken, or flaky. Engaging in brick restoration not only enhances the aesthetics but also bolsters the structural integrity of the building. Our restoration process includes meticulous matching of replacement bricks to the existing ones, ensuring a seamless blend even with antique or rare bricks.

  • Masonry tasks can be executed in sub-zero temperatures given specific conditions. Incorporating additives can facilitate cement curing even in temperatures as low as -5 degrees Celsius. Another approach involves creating a sheltered environment akin to a tent around the work area and introducing a heating system. Typically, when temperatures drop below 0 degrees Celsius, the freezing of water in the cement before proper drying can compromise the integrity of the final structure.
