  • Unique Masonry Projects in Victoria, BC: Inspiring Ideas For Your Home

    Explore Unique Masonry Projects Completed by Lennox Masonry in Victoria, BC   Are you a homeowner located in Victoria, BC and interested in renovating the interior or exterior of your home with a reputable and professional masonry company? From maintenance and repairs to transforming your living space, let’s take a look at some of the masonry projects we’ve completed here at Lennox Masonry and how we can help give your home and property a new look! Maintenance & Repairs: Chimney Repointing and Rebuilding: Victoria, BC is home to thousands of homes which still utilize brick and stone chimneys, most of which are in disrepair for one reason or another. The first line of defense for these chimneys is what masonry contractors refer to as the crown, or top of the chimney. Chimney crowns are subject to our wet climate here on Vancouver Island and that weather tends to work itself between the flue liners and the mortar or concrete at the top of the chimney. That water and moisture then remains trapped, freezes and expands through the seasons and then contracts, leading to a separation between the mortar and brick or stonework. When that occurs, it’s imperative to build a new concrete crown or cap and repoint the chimney. What is repointing? Repointing is the process of removing a certain amount of the current mortar from between the bricks or stones that make up a wall or chimney and replacing it fresh mortar. For a detailed overview of the repointing process, check out our blog post here. If you're interested in receiving an assessment and consultation from Lennox Masonry for your chimney, please click here! What does replacing a concrete crown entail? Replacing a cap or crown of a chimney entails removing the current crown, potentially replacing the flue liners, and then forming and pouring a new concrete cap in place that aligns with the building codes and requirements dictated by both the City of Victoria and Canadian chimney building codes. Stone & Brick Retaining Walls: Stone and brick retaining walls in Victoria, BC are also subject to not only our rainy seasons but also additional sources such as sprinklers and irrigation. The leading cause of failure for these masonry structures is a lack of drainage which leads to the same issues that chimneys also suffer from. These walls will either need repointing or to be rebuilt with drainage in mind. For more information on repointing and repairing stone and brick retaining walls, please read this blog post here. Renovating Your Home and Property with Stone and Brick: Thin Stone Veneer and Thin Brick Veneer: One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of modernizing your home is by applying thin stone or brick veneer to a feature wall, fireplace, or the exterior of your home. Application methods and costs vary based on what surface thin veneers are being attached to as well as the style of stone or brickwork. To read more about what Lennox Masonry can do for you and your home by applying thin brick or stone veneer, please visit our stone veneer page. Fireplaces: Fireplaces are typically the main gathering and focal point of any home. Renovating fireplaces can be as simple as re-facing the current brick or stone with a stone/brick veneer or it may be much more involved if a firebox/fireplace expansion is desired. To see what Lennox Masonry can do with your next fireplace renovation, please check out our fireplace page. Outdoor Living Spaces: Outdoor living spaces can be readily achieved and transformed by flagstone patios, outdoor stone fireplaces, water features, and stone walls for retaining gardens. Flagstone patios can be utilized to create a level and easy to maintain space to entertain guests throughout the seasons, especially with the introduction of a fire pit or outdoor fireplace.
