Services that protect the building
Repairs that solve the visible damage and any potential problems behind it.
Loose mortar, open joints, cracked brick, tired veneer, brick damage at the base of the home, and movement around steps or sills are worth looking at properly. The right repair should solve what you can see and make sure the surrounding masonry still belongs on the home.
Historical Restoration
Careful restoration for older homes, century properties, and original masonry where the texture, colour, and profile matter as much as the repair itself.

Plan custom masonryWhy homeowners call Mills Masonry Restoration
Old masonry needs expertise, not guesswork.
A rushed patch can trap moisture, mismatch the mortar, or leave a beautiful wall looking obviously repaired. Mills Masonry Restoration works from the material outward: understand what the home is doing, remove what is failing cleanly, then rebuild it so it feels right both structurally and visually.
- Mortar colour, texture, bond pattern, and surrounding materials are considered before repairs begin.
- Homeowners get clear language about what is urgent, what can wait, and why.
- Fully licensed and insured for residential, rural, and property work.
- Two local bases mean faster call routing for Southwestern Ontario and the Simcoe-area corridor.
The call that saves the wall
Masonry has a way of whispering before it shouts.
First it is a little crack in your sill, a crack beside the porch, one brick face flaking after winter, bricks peeling near a window, or a cultured-stone corner that does not look quite right anymore. Homeowners often call it the face falling off; masons often call it spalling or brick face spalling.
That is why the best move is still the simplest one: call while the question is small. Shawn can talk through what you are seeing, explain whether it sounds like repointing, brick repair, window sill masonry repair, veneer work, fireplace stonework, or a larger restoration conversation, then plan an in-person look when that is the right next step.
What to expect
A simple process for getting the right masonry conversation started.
Most projects start with a phone call with Shawn, then an in-person visit once the basic concern is understood. That keeps the first conversation useful, personal, and grounded in the real condition of the masonry.
Call the closest location
Use the area number for the property so the project starts with the right regional contact and the right expectations.
Talk with Shawn
Cracked brick, spalling brick, loose stone, failing mortar, step movement, cracked window sills, and veneer ideas all get easier to understand in a normal conversation.
Price after review
Repair pricing comes after the masonry has been properly reviewed onsite, so recommendations match the real condition instead of guesswork.
