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.
