Brick and stonework Oakville ON

Picture
Masonry Oakville is thrilled to be providing masonry services to the people of Oakville, Ontario and surrounding regions.  Our masonry work is of top quality, designed for beauty, functionality and durability.  We pride ourselves in perfecting this age-old trade that has provided a solid foundation for all types of edifices, from homes to businesses to churches and more.  Recently, the trend has been to use bricks and stones in decorative applications including but not limited to: accent walls and posts, fireplaces, driveway borders and whatever ideas your imagination brings you.

Our stonemasons provide the highest quality stonework in our area, and it starts with the material.  Depending on your needs and your budget, you’re generally going to decide between natural stone or man-made stone.  There are some differences between these two, but depending on your preferences and priorities, they may not be so dramatic.  Let’s take a look at some features:

  • Appearance: natural stone is quarried from the earth, and so offers unique tonal and textural variations between stones.  Cultured stone tries to mimic the look of natural stone, but the colouring and textures may appear more uniform and consistent to the observant eye.
 
  • Cost: man-made stone is lighter than natural stone, so the shipping costs contribute to the price differential.  A budget-minded customer may choose cultured stone over natural stone.
 
  • Durability: both natural and cultured stones have excellent longevity, but cultured stones are more susceptible to deterioration from weather elements such as sunlight, wind, dust, dirt, snow, rain, which also makes the painted designs fade in addition to potential damage to the more porous artificial stone.  If used indoors, cultured stones would work well as they’re not subjected to environmental elements.​

In a nutshell, the decision to choose natural or man-made stone is usually driven by: your budget, your preference for a unique and natural look and whether it will be used indoors or outdoors.  No matter which option you choose, our masonry contractors are committed to installing your stonework with precision and care.

Our bricklayers are skilled in all types of brickwork, ranging from brick repair and restorations to brick additions such as new walls.  Brick is a strong and durable material that can withstand exterior elements for many years.  The first part of the structure that gives up is typically the mortar.  Having said that, our brick masons ensure the mortar is prepared and applied evenly and properly to ensure longevity.  We also specialize in tuckpointing, a method that uses mortar of varying shades to create a fine joint illusion, while reinforcing the integrity of the mortar.  

The applications of using beautiful stone and durable brick is limited only by your own imagination.  Walkways, chimneys, fireplaces, driveways, buildings, walls, decorative posts, fire grills, retaining walls, steps, porches, patios - these are just some examples where brick and stone can be used.  Your property’s ROI will also increase with the use of these highly regarded building materials.  Masonry Oakville uses the highest quality materials, which combined with our unparalleled workmanship to create your structure that not only looks great, but will last for many years.  Call Masonry Oakville today to book a consultation appointment.
