Warning Signs
When Mortar Matching Matters
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Obvious Patches from Previous Repairs
Obvious Patches from Previous Repairs
Past contractors used whatever mortar was handy. Multiple colours stand out and look worse over time—buyers notice and it signals questionable workmanship underneath.
Heritage Building Compliance Requirements
Heritage Building Compliance Requirements
Designated buildings require documented mortar matching under Ontario Heritage Act. Authorities reject visible mismatches—wrong mortar can damage soft historic brick permanently.
Failed DIY Mortar from Hardware Stores
Failed DIY Mortar from Hardware Stores
Off-the-shelf mortar is always too grey, too white, or wrong texture. Hardware store products cannot match sand colour or aggregate—your repair looks like a repair.

Invisible repairs
Making repairs disappear
Mortar colour matching is the process of analysing existing mortar and creating custom mixes that blend invisibly—matching colour, texture, and composition.
Mortar colour comes from sand aggregate, binder type, and sometimes pigments. Matching requires understanding all three. We analyse your existing mortar, identify the components, and create custom mixes that disappear into the original work.
What Mortar Colour Matching Includes:
Analyse existing mortar composition
Match aggregate, binder, and colour
Create custom mixes for your specific mortar
When is Mortar Colour Matching Needed?
Repointing work
Any tuckpointing or repointing should include colour matching.
