Careful Restoration That Respects the Original
Heritage masonry isn’t a job for hard cement and a power grinder. We restore stone and historic brick the way it was built — to last and to look right.
Stone Repair & Resetting
Chipped, loose or weathered stone is repaired and reset by hand, keeping your home’s original look and the natural finish of the stone intact.
Lime Mortar Repointing
We repoint with soft, breathable lime-based mortar — not hard modern cement, which traps moisture and cracks historic masonry.
Fieldstone Foundations
We rake out failed mortar, reset shifted stone and repoint century fieldstone foundations with a mix suited to old masonry.
Historic Brick Restoration
Soft heritage brick gets repaired and repointed sympathetically, so the repair blends in and the brick keeps breathing the way it should.
Sympathetic Materials
We source brick, stone and mortar that match the originals in colour, texture and behaviour — conservation first, not a modern patch.
Traditional Methods
Hand tools, the right mortar and patience. We restore the way these walls were built, so the character and the structure both carry on.

Heritage Stone Restoration FAQ
Quick answers about heritage and stone masonry in Paris, Brantford and across SW Ontario.
Do you use lime mortar on heritage homes?
Yes — it’s essential. Century stone and brick need a soft, breathable lime-based mortar. Hard modern cement traps moisture and cracks the masonry it’s meant to protect. We match the mortar to the wall.
Can you repoint a fieldstone foundation?
Yes. We rake out the failed mortar, reset any loose or shifted stone, and repoint with a mix suited to old masonry so the foundation is solid and stays breathable.
Is my 100-year-old home a problem to work on?
Not at all — older homes are most of our work. We use sympathetic, mortar-matched materials and traditional methods rather than hard cement, so the repair protects the character instead of damaging it.
How much does heritage restoration cost?
Heritage work is hands-on and material-specific, so scope drives the price. Every quote is free and itemized in writing. Call (519) 802-2138 for a no-obligation assessment.
Can you fix damage left by earlier repairs?
Often, yes. Sandblasting and hard-cement repointing are common causes of damage on old walls. We remove what’s harming the masonry and restore it with the right, breathable materials.
Do you work on designated heritage properties?
Yes. We’re glad to work within heritage guidelines and use conservation-minded materials and methods. Let us know about any designation and we’ll work to it.

It was such a game changer when we met Dave and his team to help us out. Thank you Dave and the Team for hard work I would recommend this to whoever would need help. Just a phone call away makes your life easier.
Dave did a great job of waterproofing our basement. Not only did he fix the problem but he also gave valuable advice. For someone like myself who knows nothing about foundation and concrete walls of homes Dave was very knowledgeable and fixed the problem with a reasonable price.
We had Dave and his crew waterproof the one side of our foundation. They were polite, efficient, reliable and very knowledgeable. I recommend On Point for all your masonry repairs.
