We serve homeowners across Guildwood, Agincourt, Birch Cliff, Cliffside, Bendale, Highland Creek, Malvern, and the Rouge area. Guildwood, Birch Cliff, and Cliffside have a concentration of older post-war brick homes where repointing and chimney rebuilds are the most common calls we get. Agincourt, Bendale, and Malvern mix established housing with newer infill, while properties closer to the Scarborough Bluffs face additional exposure to wind and moisture that accelerates mortar breakdown. Chimney safety is a particularly common concern in Scarborough given how many original chimneys are now over 50 years old.
Scarborough has some of the largest stretches of post-war brick housing in the GTA, and homes from that era are now at the age where mortar joints, chimneys, and brick faces need real attention. Automatic Masonry has spent 30 years repairing exactly this kind of masonry – the 1950s and 60s bungalows and two-storeys across Scarborough, along with newer builds nearer the Bluffs and Rouge Valley. We inspect every property in person before quoting, because a 60-year-old chimney and a 10-year-old one fail in very different ways.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?
Feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help.
My chimney is over 50 years old – does it need a full rebuild or can it be repaired?
It depends on how far the damage has progressed. Many older Scarborough chimneys can be repaired with repointing and a new crown or cap; others need a full rebuild. We’ll tell you exactly which after a free on-site inspection.
Why does Scarborough see so much brick spalling?
Much of the housing stock dates to the 1950s–60s, and older brick-and-mortar construction doesn’t withstand decades of freeze-thaw as well as modern materials.
How much does chimney repair cost in Scarborough?
Cost depends on the scope – repointing versus a full rebuild are very different jobs. We provide a free, itemized on-site estimate.
Do you serve properties near the Scarborough Bluffs?
Yes, including areas with extra wind and moisture exposure that require closer attention to flashing and repointing.
