Everything you need to know about masonry
How much does a bow wall repair cost in Montreal?
The cost varies between $3,000 and $15,000 depending on the extent. MBNL offers a free diagnosis on site within 48 hours. Call 438.225.2169 for a quick response.
Can a rubble foundation be repaired in Montreal?
Yes — well-maintained, rubble foundations last for centuries. MBNL masters lime repointing, consolidation by injection and waterproofing. Much less expensive than replacing everything with concrete.
What is the difference between repointing and repairing?
Repointing only replaces mortar joints. The repair is more complete: brick replacement, structural correction, facade restoration. MBNL recommends the best option based on the actual condition.
How long does a masonry repair take?
Partial repointing: 1—3 days. Complete renovation of a duplex: 1—2 weeks. Rubble stone foundation: 1—3 weeks. We establish a specific schedule during the quote and stick to it.
Are there grants for heritage masonry in Montreal?
Yes. The City of Montreal offers the Heritage Restoration Assistance Program (PARP). Provincial tax credits also exist for classified buildings. MBNL can guide you through the process.
Does concrete resurfacing withstand Montreal winters?
Yes. The acrylic products we use are formulated for Quebec freeze-thaw cycles (class XF4). A well-applied resurfacing lasts 8—15 years on a driveway with minimal maintenance.
Does MBNL include site cleaning and post-work follow-up?
Yes. The complete cleaning of the construction site is included in all contracts at no additional cost. A post-construction follow-up is also provided by our team to ensure your full satisfaction and answer any questions after the end of the work.
Does MBNL offer a guarantee on its work?
Yes. All work is covered by a written warranty, handed over before the start of construction. The conditions of each guarantee are clearly defined in the quote.
