Masonry in Burnaby: what the housing stock looks like
Burnaby is our home base, which means we know its housing stock better than any other city in Metro Vancouver. The city has a genuinely wide range: Capitol Hill, Edmonds, and the older central neighbourhoods have pre-war and post-war homes with original brick chimneys and lime-mortar masonry that needs careful matching. Brentwood and Metrotown are in the middle of rapid densification — the existing single-family homes around the new towers are often renovated to compete, and masonry upgrades are part of that. Burnaby Mountain and the SFU area have their own character. The older Edmonds and East Burnaby neighbourhoods have the most concentrated heritage masonry work.
Common masonry projects in Burnaby
Chimney repair and rebuild on Capitol Hill and Edmonds homes
Capitol Hill and Edmonds have dense concentrations of pre-war and early post-war homes with original brick chimneys showing 70–100 years of weathering. We repoint, rebuild crowns, and do full chimney rebuilds above the roofline when the upper section is beyond repair.
Heritage lime mortar repointing on older homes
The older Burnaby East Side neighbourhoods have soft brick laid with lime mortar that needs repointing with a matching lime-based mix. We see a lot of damage caused by previous hard-mortar repairs on these homes — brick faces spalling and needing unit replacement.
Stone veneer on Brentwood and Metrotown-adjacent renovations
The single-family homes around Brentwood and Metrotown are being renovated at a high rate as the area densifies. Stone veneer updates, new stone feature walls, and masonry entry features are a consistent part of our Burnaby work.
Retaining walls across the city
Burnaby's varied terrain — from the slopes of Burnaby Mountain to the flatter Edmonds area — generates continuous demand for both new and repaired retaining walls in block, stone, and segmental systems.
