Can old brick be repaired instead of replaced?

Usually. Damaged bricks are replaced and mortar joints are repointed. Full replacement is only needed when the brick has failed widely.

Can insulation be added from the outside?

Yes, when the cladding is being replaced. Adding continuous insulation outside the wall is an effective way to make an older house warmer.

Exterior Renovation in King City

The outside of a house does two jobs: it keeps the weather out and it is what everyone sees. We update both, from masonry repair to a complete new facade. In King City, the township is mostly estate homes and rural properties on large lots.

Before you start

What to know.

Keeping water out
Whatever the cladding, the layers behind it matter most: the water barrier, flashing and a gap that lets the wall dry.
Permits
Like-for-like cladding replacement usually needs no permit. Changing the wall structure, adding insulation that alters the wall build-up, or altering openings may.
Heritage streets
Homes that are heritage-designated or inside a heritage conservation district need heritage approval for changes visible from the street.
