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.

01

Careful Brick Removal

Existing brick was removed around the affected openings so it could be cleaned and retained for reinstallation.

02

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.

03

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.
