Hillsborough’s slopes are dominated by large homes situated on lots that must be a minimum of half an acre. \u00a0The Re Project is a large brick estate that sits on about two acres.\u00a0 The job was a remodel and new construction of the main house with a conservatory addition, site improvements, a pool house, and detached garage.<\/p>\n

Walton & Sons Masonry was contracted to do all the masonry starting with repairs on the existing brick veneer.\u00a0 The client requested that we match existing brick work over the entire northwest and southwest elevations of the sprawling main residence.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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. \u00a0The 50\/50 blend of Glen Grey Monticello handmade oversize \u00a0and Brandywine Handmade Oversize Brick created a beautiful and durable facade.<\/p>\n

We constructed three masonry fireplaces that included fireboxes set with firebrick in a Herringbone pattern.\u00a0 We also installed screen pockets, hearths and brick facing.\u00a0 For the Living Room and Master Bedroom we installed an over-and-under fireplace.\u00a0 Stainless steel flues were installed for all three fireplaces.<\/p>\n
