Brick Window Renovation and Reinstallation in Orléans
Cleaned original brick was reinstalled around two modified window openings to preserve the home’s existing exterior appearance.
Project Overview
Brick renovation around replacement windows in Orléans
This Orléans renovation required changes to exterior window openings while preserving the home’s existing brick appearance. Ottawa Masonry carefully removed the original brick, prepared the modified openings and reinstalled the cleaned brick around the new window configurations.
The photo sequence documents the work behind the finished masonry, including opening preparation, membrane and head-flashing details, level checks and brick-course alignment. Reusing the existing units helped the completed work blend naturally with the surrounding wall.
The Masonry Work
Careful brick removal, moisture preparation and reinstallation
Changing a window opening in a brick wall requires the finish, support and water-management details to be coordinated in the right order.
Careful Brick Removal
Existing brick was removed around the affected openings so it could be cleaned and retained for reinstallation.
Opening and Moisture-Management Preparation
The altered openings were prepared before rebuilding. Membrane and head-flashing details were installed at the documented stages to help manage water at the window perimeter.
Reinstallation and Alignment
The cleaned original brick was rebuilt around the new windows. Levels, sill position and masonry courses were checked so the finished openings align with the existing façade.
Project Gallery
Window masonry from removal to brick reinstallation
The gallery moves from brick removal and opening preparation to flashing, alignment checks and two distinct finished window views.
The Result
Original brick reinstalled around the new windows
The modified openings are framed by the home’s cleaned original brick, helping the renovation integrate with the existing exterior. The completed masonry restores continuous coursing around both window configurations.
