Window and door cut-outs in brick walls, Toronto – Brick Aid Masonry
Window & Door Cut-Outs

Cutting a hole in a brick wall is easy. Doing it safely is the job.

Every opening in a masonry wall transfers load around itself through a lintel. Cut without proper temporary support and correct lintel sizing, and the wall above cracks, sags, or worse. This is the masonry service where hiring cheap costs the most.

We cut new window and door openings into brick, block and stone walls, install properly sized lintels, and finish the reveals so the opening looks original to the house. Closing old openings is the same craft in reverse: toothed-in, colour-matched brick that erases the opening completely. It pairs naturally with our brickwork for additions and renovations.

  • Free structural assessment & quote
  • New window & door openings

Opening cut-out questions, answered

Yes, always. The wall above the opening needs support during the cut and a correctly sized lintel after. It's exactly why this is mason work, not general-labour work.
Not when it's done right. We tooth the new brick into the old coursing and match the brick and mortar, the wall reads as if the opening never existed.
Structural changes to openings typically do. We'll flag what applies during the free assessment and work alongside your renovation's permit process.
Yes, we routinely prep openings to the installer's spec and sequence the work so your project doesn't stall between trades.
