Mary Lee in Toronto

I had cracks in the brickwork above the patio door that were the result of replacement of a window with a patio door without replacing the lintel. Also, the sill of the window directly above this area was cracked. I feared that the whole wall would buckle and fall, so I started calling around for quotes. Doug's quote was the most reasonable, as well as informative. The original arched brick lintel had been compromised and new steel lintels on the outer and inner wythes needed to be installed to maintain the integrity of the wall itself, as well as the sill and window above. As it turned out, the inner whythe of bricks was also compromised, so they also needed to be removed and replaced. Carlton did a fabulous job with matching up the bricks - using some of my salvaged bricks along with new ones. My friends and family who saw the end result were impressed, as was I.
