Canton's inland location and elevation near the Blue Hills make it one of the highest freeze-thaw zones in the South Shore. Mortar joints fail faster here than along the coast. Chimney crown deterioration and brick spalling are the two repairs we see most often. Most Canton chimneys benefit from repointing every 30–40 years rather than the 50+ year intervals you'd see in less weather-exposed locations.

Canton's older neighborhoods around Canton Center have brick that predates 1940 and needs lime-based or lime-Portland blended mortar — not pure modern Portland. We custom-blend mortar for hardness as well as color so our repairs don't accelerate the deterioration of the surrounding original brick.
