What Repointing actually costs in Markham
Straightforward repointing on a typical Markham home runs $676 to $1,082. Complex jobs — multi-storey access, heritage masonry, or downtown parking — push the top end toward $1,758. The variance is almost always access, not the work itself.
Line items to look for on a quote
A clean repointing quote itemises: labour hours, materials with brand names, dump/haul fees, permits (where required), and a written warranty term. Anything lumped as "misc" or "shop supplies" over 5% is worth questioning.

How long does repointing take in Markham?
