Masonry in Coquitlam: what the housing stock looks like
Coquitlam has two very distinct housing environments for masonry work. The older central and south areas — Austin Heights, Maillardville, central Coquitlam — have post-war housing with brick chimneys and concrete block foundations that are now 60–70 years old and showing mortar deterioration. The newer northern areas — Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau — are steep subdivisions built in the 2000s and 2010s where engineered retaining walls and stone veneer on new builds are the primary masonry demand. Maillardville, as one of BC's oldest French-Canadian communities, has heritage brick that needs careful matching.
Common masonry projects in Coquitlam
Engineered retaining walls on Burke Mountain
Burke Mountain's steep lot grades mean most new homes required either concrete block or segmental retaining walls at the time of construction — and those walls need maintenance, drainage updates, or replacement as the subdivision matures.
Stone veneer on new builds and renovations
Westwood Plateau and the newer Coquitlam neighbourhoods have a high demand for stone veneer installs as part of exterior renovations on 15–20 year old homes. We install over properly detailed rainscreen assemblies.
Chimney repair on post-war homes
Austin Heights and central Coquitlam's post-war housing stock has a lot of brick chimneys from the 1950s–1970s that need crown work, repointing, and in some cases full rebuilds above the roofline.
Heritage masonry in Maillardville
Maillardville's older buildings — some of the earliest in the Lower Mainland — need sympathetic masonry repair using matched materials and period-appropriate mortar mixes.
