How much does repointing a brick bungalow cost in Kanata?

Published Ontario contractor pricing, 2025–26 puts repointing at about $10 to $30 per sq ft of wall, with the middle of the range around $15 to $25. Your quote will differ based on the specifics of your bungalow.

Several things move the number on a single-storey home:

• Area of wall to be repointed, measured in sq ft
• Whether scaffolding or a lift is needed to reach gable ends or higher sections (scaffolding can add about $500 to $3,000)
• Portland or lime mortar, and whether colour-matching is needed
• How deeply joints are cut out and by what method
• Whether any spalled or damaged bricks need replacing alongside the repointing (about $20 to $45 per brick installed)
• Removal and disposal of old mortar and debris

A written quote should spell out the wall area being repointed, the mortar type and joint profile, how joints will be cut (and how silica dust will be controlled, such as wet cutting or dust extraction), how many bricks if any are replaced and where matching brick comes from, and what cleanup and disposal are included.

Ask each contractor whether the price is fixed or an estimate, and if it is an estimate, the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 limits the final charge to no more than 10 per cent above it. Get the scope and price in writing.
