How much does masonry cost in Ajax?
Most Canadian homeowners pay $500-$1,500 for a typical masonry or brickwork repair - patching cracks, replacing spalled brick, a partial repointing, or a chimney repair (repointing runs about $15-$20 per square foot). Small few-joint patches start near $300, while bigger projects like full-house perimeter repointing ($5,000-$6,000), a chimney rebuild ($4,000-$8,000), or new brick or stone veneer run well past that.
In Ajax, ON, typical quotes tend to track the Canadian average, so the table below shows these national figures unchanged.
What moves the price: The low end is a small patch of a few joints or bricks; the top end is full-house repointing, a chimney rebuild, or new brick and stone veneer.
| Project | Typical cost in Ajax |
|---|---|
| Brick repointing / tuckpointing | $15-$20 $10 to $30 per sq ft |
| Full-house perimeter repointing (detached home) | $5,000-$6,000 $3,000 to $10,000 per project |

| Chimney rebuild (partial to full above roofline) | $4,000-$8,000 $1,500 to $15,000 per project |

What changes the price of masonry in Ajax
- Extent and depth of damage: surface repointing is inexpensive, but structural problems (bowing walls, failed lintels, deep spalling, or water damage behind the brick) push costs up sharply.
- Material type: natural stone costs more than brick, and full structural brickwork costs more than thin veneer.
- Heritage / historic homes: soft historic brick and lime mortar need specialist techniques and slower, more careful work, raising the hourly rate.
- Height and access: upper-storey walls, chimneys above the roofline, and anything needing scaffolding or a lift cost far more than ground-level work.
- Job size vs. minimum charge: most masons have a roughly $1,500-$2,500 minimum, so small jobs cost much more per brick or per square foot than large ones, since setup, matching and site protection cost the same either way.
- Brick and mortar matching: colour-matching mortar and sourcing brick to match old or heritage brick adds labour and material cost; custom-matched work sits at the top of the range.
How masonry prices vary across Canada
Big cities cost more. Toronto and Vancouver run roughly 15-25% above the national average, driven by higher masonry labour rates, permits and parking, and demand for heritage-brick matching - Toronto's older brick housing stock pushes the top of the range in particular. Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal sit about 5-15% above average. Smaller cities and rural areas trend toward the low end.

What's the difference between repointing and tuckpointing?
Repointing means grinding out crumbling mortar between bricks and replacing it. Tuckpointing is a finer, more decorative finish that uses two mortar shades to create crisp lines, so it usually costs a bit more. Both restore the joints and keep water out of the wall.
How often does brickwork need repointing?
Mortar typically lasts 25 to 50 years before it needs attention, while the brick itself can last 100 years or more. If you see crumbling, receding, or cracked mortar joints, or gaps you can slip a key into, it's time to have it looked at.
Why is the quote for a small brick repair so high?
Masonry has high fixed setup costs: matching mortar and brick, protecting the site, and often scaffolding. Fixing 5 bricks can cost almost as much as fixing 20, and most contractors carry a minimum charge of roughly $1,500 to $2,500 just to put a crew on the wall.
