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.

Masonry in Burnaby: FAQs

Do you serve all of Burnaby?

Yes. We cover Burnaby and the surrounding Metro Vancouver area for brick, stone, block, and chimney work. Burnaby's mix of post-war bungalows and rapidly growing condo-adjacent neighbourhoods means we regularly work on everything from 70-year-old lime-mortar chimneys to new stone veneer on recent additions.

Are you actually based in Burnaby?

Yes — Burnaby is our home base. Our crew lives and works here, which means faster response times, better knowledge of the local housing stock, and no travel premium built into your quote.

Do you work on heritage homes in Edmonds and Capitol Hill?

Yes — these are the Burnaby neighbourhoods we know best. The pre-war and early post-war homes in Edmonds and Capitol Hill have masonry that needs heritage-sensitive repair: lime mortar matching, salvage brick sourcing, and careful joint profiling.

My Burnaby chimney has been leaking for a couple of winters. What's causing it?

Almost always a failed crown, open mortar joints, or missing cap — or some combination. The water source is usually at the top of the chimney, not where you see the damage inside. We identify the actual entry point and fix the source, not just the symptom.

Can you match the existing brick on my older Burnaby home?

In most cases, yes. We source reclaimed brick and period-appropriate salvage to match the colour, texture, and size of original Burnaby-area brick. A close match in the right mortar is usually invisible from the street.

Do you do retaining walls in Burnaby?

Yes — all types. Natural stone, concrete block, segmental, and armour stone. Walls over 1.2m need a City of Burnaby permit. We handle the permit coordination and build with proper drainage and footings for the specific soil conditions on your lot.

Do you do free quotes for masonry work in Burnaby?

Yes. Call us or send the form and we'll set up a time to look at the job, talk through your options, and give you a written quote at no charge.

What areas around Burnaby do you serve?

We cover Burnaby and the surrounding Metro Vancouver area, including Vancouver, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, and West Vancouver.

When is the best time of year for masonry work in Burnaby?

Spring through early fall is ideal because mortar cures best in dry, mild weather. That said, we work year-round and tent and heat jobs in the wet season when needed.
