    I had a new egress window installed in my basement recreation room. The team of two arrived shortly after 8:00 am and the job was done in about 5 hours. The gentlemen who installed the window were friendly, worked efficiently with no breaks, they cleaned up very well inside and out and the new window looks great. Kosta was very knowledgeable during the quotation visit and the price was reasonable. Thank you so much!!

    Update: 1 year later. There was a minor issue with our window. I contacted Bill. He was very helpful, followed up and arranged someone to come out after work to take a look. We remain very happy with the service.Our salesman, Bill, was very professional and responsive. The team that installed was super-efficient and polite. They did a good job and cleaned up before leaving. Very happy with the whole experience.

    Highly recommendable company. We were looking to enlarge 2 basement windows to egress standard. After seeing positive reviews I contacted this company by e-mail on weekend. I was impressed with quick response and an appointment with Nikou was booked immediately. Nikou is very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and accommodating. The job was booked in 2 weeks. Crew of 3 guys was excellent. They protected inside of the house, each guy did his part without asking, were done in few hours as good team, worked without breaks or smoking or delay. We are very happy with the whole experience and with finished job. Please don't hesitate to give them a chance.

    We are preparing to have our basement finally finished, so the first step was to install an egress window. From beginning to end, the process was perfect. I had an initial meeting with Bill to discuss options. He really explained things well and broke down the whole process. It was an easy transaction to make and I felt very confident with my choice. When the crew arrived on the day of the install they were very professional and got straight to work. I like that they even went out of their way to roll out a little carpet where they'd be walking in and out of the house. The final product is outstanding, my wife and I couldn't be happier:)

    I had expanded my basement egress window and had quite the runaround with other companies before I had luckily come across this one. I am incredibly happy with the services I had received- the customer service from the beginning was professional and prompt, and all of my questions and concerns were answered throughout the process with genuine care and complete information. The actual installation process was quick and clean, and the end result even better than I had expected. I highly recommend their services for any window or door installations! Thank you to Bill for the ongoing communication and positive experience.

    My experience with egress windows was nothing short but amazing. Bill was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions in a timely manner. The job itself was custom basement door replacement and was difficult as my home is very old and nothing is standard. Bills crew did an amazing job and the outcome is better then I expected. I am incredibly pleased with my door. Needless to say I will be using egress windows for more jobs in the future.

    This company did a great job installing my new window and egress. It was surprising how little dust was left behind in the basement. Bill was great to deal with in getting the job appraised and right until the job was finished. I highly recommend this company.

      How Window and Door Bricking is Done

      Inspection and Planning

      The space is assessed to determine the best approach for the brick-up.

      Preparation

      Removal of the existing windows or doors, and preparation of the area.

      Brick Matching

      Matching new bricks to the existing wall to ensure a seamless look.

      Bricking

      Installing bricks and securing them properly to create a solid, uniform wall.

      Finishing

      Applying mortar and cleaning up the area for a polished finish.

      How Much Does a Window or Door Brick-up cost?

      Factors Affecting the Cost of a Window or Door Brick-Up Project:

    • Size of the Opening: Larger windows or doors require more materials and labor, leading to higher costs.
    • Brick Matching: Costs can increase if specific or hard-to-find bricks are needed to match the existing structure.
    • Location of the Opening: Difficult-to-access areas may require extra time or equipment, impacting labor costs.
    • Project Complexity: Jobs needing additional structural support or modifications will increase the overall cost.

      • Chimney Removal
      • Door Brick-Up
      • Window Brick-Up

      Chimney Removal

      The cost of removing a chimney depends on factors like chimney size, location, and whether it's a full or partial removal. On average, a full chimney removal can range from $2,000 to $5,000, while partial removal (such as removing only the chimney stack above the roofline) might cost between $500 and $2,000. Additional costs may apply for repairs to the roof or walls once the chimney is removed and for any bricking up or sealing of interior spaces where the chimney was located. Labor rates and accessibility of the chimney can also affect the final cost.

      Door Brick-Up

      The cost of bricking up a door can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the door, the type of brick used, and the complexity of the job. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $300 and $1,500 for this service. Smaller doors or projects that don't require additional structural adjustments tend to be on the lower end of the scale, while larger doors or those requiring specialty bricks or complex finishes may increase costs. Additionally, labor rates and the ease of access to the area also play a role in determining the final price.

      Window Brick-Up

      The cost of bricking up a window generally ranges from $300 to $800, though it can vary based on factors like the size of the window, brick type, and labor. Smaller windows or those in easy-to-access areas tend to be on the lower end of the scale. However, matching bricks to the existing structure and adding insulation or finishing touches may increase costs. Projects with complex brick matching or unique architectural features might also see higher prices due to additional labor and materials required.

      Reliable & Trustworthy

      Trage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level overviews.

      In Ontario, you’ll likely need a building permit to brick up a window, especially if it impacts the structure, insulation, or fire safety of your home. The Ontario Building Code mandates permits for most exterior wall modifications due to potential effects on the building’s integrity and energy efficiency. Requirements may vary by municipality, so feel free to consult with us to confirm if a permit is necessary for your project and to help guide you through the permitting process.

      While we strive to match the color of the new brick to your existing brickwork as closely as possible, an exact match can sometimes be challenging due to factors like the age, weathering, and availability of specific brick types. We work with a variety of suppliers and use specialized techniques to find the closest possible match for a seamless look. Over time, natural weathering often helps the new brick blend even further with the existing structure.

      We usually finish bricking up a window in one day, depending on the size and accessibility of the area. Our process includes careful preparation, brick installation, and finishing to ensure a seamless match with your existing wall. For larger or more complex projects, additional time may be needed, but we strive to complete the job efficiently without compromising quality.

      Yes, we offer a warranty on our brick-up services, covering workmanship and materials to ensure long-lasting results. Details vary, so please contact us for specific warranty information.

      Yes, partial brick-ups are possible if you only need part of the opening closed. This approach allows for customized solutions based on your privacy and design needs.
