Why Westfort chimneys work harder

Westfort is one of Thunder Bay's oldest neighbourhoods, and many of its homes were built in the first half of the last century. Original chimneys from that era have already been through decades of freeze-thaw — and it shows in the brick and the joints.

  • Century-old housing stock Many chimneys are original to homes built before the 1950s.
  • Softer, older mortar Lime-based mixes from that era wear faster than modern mortar.
  • The same hard winters Freeze-thaw cycles hit older, more porous brick hardest.

Westfort chimney questions

Can't find yours? Send it with your photos.

Do you charge extra to come out to Westfort?

No. Westfort is inside the regular service area, so estimates and scheduling work the same as anywhere in Thunder Bay.

Can you match brick on an older Westfort home?

Colour and size are matched as closely as available stock allows. For century-old brick an exact match is discussed up front, before any work starts.

The chimney is no longer used. Does it still need repair?

An unused stack still takes on water and frost, so open joints and spalled faces keep getting worse — and loose brick above a roofline is a safety issue either way.

When is the best time to book masonry work?

Masonry cures above freezing, so most brick and mortar work runs from late spring to fall. Photos can be sent any time — winter requests are scheduled for the season.
