      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

      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.

      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.
