Masonry and Chimney Specialists Serving Lachine

 

Lachine is one of Montreal’s historic boroughs, located along the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Many homes in the area were built between the early 1900s and the 1960s and feature traditional brick masonry construction, limestone window sills, and large brick chimneys originally designed for wood-burning fireplaces.

 

After decades of exposure to Montreal’s harsh freeze-thaw climate, many of these masonry structures require specialized repair to maintain their structural stability and historic character.

 

Maximum Precision provides professional masonry repair, chimney repair, brick restoration, and chimney liner installation in Lachine, offering solutions tailored to the architectural styles found throughout this historic borough.

Chimney Liner Installation

 

Older fireplaces and heating systems often require a modern stainless steel chimney liner to meet safety standards and improve draft performance.

 

Our liner services include:

 

stainless steel chimney liner installation

• chimney system upgrades

• chimney draft improvements

• chimney inspections

 

A properly installed liner improves fireplace efficiency and reduces creosote buildup.

 

Window Sill and Lintel Repairs

 

Many Lachine homes feature limestone window sills and steel lintels supporting the brick above windows and doors.

 

Over time, steel lintels can rust and expand, causing cracks in the surrounding masonry.

 

We provide:

 

• limestone window sill replacement

• concrete window sill replacement

• rusted steel lintel replacement

• masonry rebuilding around windows and doors

 

These repairs restore structural support and protect the brick façade.
