Hillsborough’s slopes are dominated by large homes situated on lots that must be a minimum of half an acre. The Re Project is a large brick estate that sits on about two acres. The job was a remodel and new construction of the main house with a conservatory addition, site improvements, a pool house, and detached garage.
Walton & Sons Masonry was contracted to do all the masonry starting with repairs on the existing brick veneer. The client requested that we match existing brick work over the entire northwest and southwest elevations of the sprawling main residence.
We added brick veneer to the new conservatory addition of the home and to a three-car detached garage, which featured brick arches over the doors. As this was a full brick veneer application, we included stainless steel lintels, anchors, and fasteners in the installation to insure the material stay securely fastened to the substructure. The 50/50 blend of Glen Grey Monticello handmade oversize and Brandywine Handmade Oversize Brick created a beautiful and durable facade.
We constructed three masonry fireplaces that included fireboxes set with firebrick in a Herringbone pattern. We also installed screen pockets, hearths and brick facing. For the Living Room and Master Bedroom we installed an over-and-under fireplace. Stainless steel flues were installed for all three fireplaces.
