Our Guarantee

Our Guarantee

Masonry guarantees typically vary through the industry and cover workmanship defects, such as mortar cracking or brick displacement, with standard warranties often lasting one year. Professional, high-end contractors may offer more comprehensive, multi-year of lifetime warranties on specific repairs or installations. It is crucial to verify if the warranty covers labour, materials, or both, as some manufacturers offer long-term product warranties that differ from installer warranties.

Masonry guarantees vary significantly depending on whether you are looking at product manufacturing, contractor workmanship, or regional building standards.

Types of Masonry Guarantees

• Workmanship Warranties: Most professional contractors provide a warranty on their labour. While a 1-year warranty is often considered the industry minimum, reputable companies frequently offer 2 to 10 years to cover issues like failing mortar or shifting units.
• Product Warranties: Manufacturers provide long-term warranties on the building units themselves (bricks, stones, pavers). For example, residential masonry products from companies like Permacon can carry a 50-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
• Specialized Service Guarantees: For specific issues like waterproofing or structural repair, some specialists provide much longer protection, such as Act Fast Waterproofing's 25-year transferable warranty.

Common Coverage and Exclusions

What is typically covered:

• Deteriorating mortar joints (repointing).
• Loose or falling bricks/stones.
• Defects in materials that lead to premature spalling (chipping/flaking).
• Poor workmanship that fails to meet local building codes.

Common exclusions:

• Damage from natural settlement or structural shifting of the home.
• Use of de-icing salts and chemicals which can break down masonry integrity.
• Damage caused by improper maintenance, such as neglected gutters leading to water saturation.

Regional Protections (Ontario Example)

In Ontario, new home construction is protected by the Tarion Warranty Corp, which outlines specific performance guidelines for masonry. This includes protection against efflorescence (white powdery film) and significant cracking within the first few years of a new build.
