Brick is a classic building material that has stood the test of time. But that’s not to say that brick doesn’t require a bit of maintenance and care here and there. The only challenge is that many property owners are concerned about the cost of brick restoration Toronto. We will look at the different types of brick restoration services we offer at Horizon Construction and how much you are likely to pay for each.
Brick cleaning services
Getting rid of dirt, debris and grime on a brick wall looks like an easy process. But sometimes the method of cleaning used is rather complicated because of the type of residue that needs to be eliminated. For instance, if the brick wall has accumulated dust and dirt only, it may take a simple process to clean it up and therefore you’ll pay less. However, if you have mold and mildew on the brick wall, expect to use more aggressive cleaning methods to eliminate them. Harsher treatments usually cost a lot more money because they help to get rid of issues like mold growth and provide the best brick restoration Toronto.
