Traditional lime-mortar repointing, chimney rebuilds, brick restoration, and custom stonework for century homes, gothic revival, and italianate properties across St. Thomas and Elgin County, Ontario.
Elgin County Heritage Masonry is Jeff Winter — a heritage-trained mason devoted to keeping Ontario's oldest homes standing for the next century. Every project begins with a careful diagnosis: what the wall is telling us, what the original builder intended, and what materials will honour both.
From lime-mortar repointing on 1870s fieldstone foundations to custom fireplaces and pillar wraps on newer homes, the standard is the same — work that will still look right in fifty years.

Five-star reviews from homeowners across Elgin County who value integrity, historical accuracy, and meticulous respect for what's already on the roof.
"Jeff repointed the entire fieldstone foundation of our 1878 farmhouse. His attention to the original lime mortar mix was extraordinary — you can't tell the new work from the old. True heritage craftsmanship."
