Straight Up Masonry

Put in a new patio door so we had to replace bricks removed for installation of the header and additional old bricks that were disintegrating, and parge back wall. (Parging preferred over stucco as it is thinner). Also had to deal with problems with corner of home where stone veneer met brick. They cut back the veneer to give a clean corner and better stabilize the stone veneer along the side of the house ( loose in spots).

Wall looks great, great guys to work with, and would highly recommend.

I feel compelled to write this review! I was desperately looking for a mason to fix cracks in the bricks and mortar and caulking of my windows which were causing water leaks in my house. After researching all the companies on Homestars and reading reviews, I decided to go with Straight Up Masonry. They were able to quote on both the bricks and mortar and the windows. They were AMAZING!!! Each person was easy to deal with and extremely pleasant!! And I felt that they went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them over any other company!!!

The job was well done and to our satisfaction. Two young men were courteous and knew exactly what they were doing. They came on time and left the site clean when they left. They did not waste any time when at the job. I would recommend them and the company to anyone.

The team from Straight up Masonry are currently here working on our chimney. Job is almost complete. So far it looks amazing! The two members here working on our chimney have been extremely pleasant. Most importantly they did a fantastic clean up job yesterday which was complimented by our neighbours who are frequently critical of contractors that come by in the neighbourhood.
Hopefully we can get something figured out for our porch as well.
Thank you.

Straight Up did an excellent job on all fronts. Their estimate was competitive which included a site visit where they took detailed pics to hi-light all the work they would do which they included in the estimate so there were no surprises or miscommunications. They even found some additional trouble spots that weren’t in my request. The crew that did the work were fast and friendly and finished ahead of original schedule. Totally satisfied customer here.

In order for our chimney to be repaired and pointed the workers were not allowed to walk on our permanent, lightweight aluminum roof.
Three estimates were received. The first estimate amounted to $4000 to repair four rows of brick and $8000 for scaffolding. The second estimate of $9,000 was based on using a pair of binoculars to examine the chimney while sitting in his car. His claimed the chimney needed complete replacement due to an unstable base. Both these estimates were outrageous with no satisfaction about roof protection!
However the last estimate, from Straight Up Masonry was excellent - with roof assurances, needed repairs and cost! Using a custom built scaffolding, Tony replaced the corbeling along with a new chimney cap and pointed all necessary surfaces. Their work was superb!

Just want to say that I am very satisfied with our chimney rebuild by Straight Up Masonry. The process was very simple and straight-forward, and for someone without much time it was very helpful to have a responsive team at Straight Up to get back to me quickly. They were up front about what was required, the timeline, etc. and when they completed the job everything was cleaned up afterward as if there was no construction done!
Fantastic service all around and I'd be happy to recommend anytime. Thanks,

Straight Up was a professional team, quality of workmanship was excellent, communications and follow-up was great with the whole team.
We were thrilled with the results. Congrats to Toni, Crystal, Declan and Moe.

Thanks, Norma

Straight Up says it all. Highly professional, very courteous. Responded quickly when I had to revise the scope of my work to match my budget. I will absolutely use them again when needed.

The brick column supporting the front porch of my house was on a lean when I bought the house, with the wood beam on the opposite lean supporting the porch roof. It was pretty precarious, to say the least.

I hired StraightUp Masonry to dig out the column, put in a footer and rebuild it to match the original bricking. They also installed 2 limestone slabs and new cedar posts on both columns. Tony and his crew were absolutely amazing. Very courteous, cleaned up everything afterward, and even repointed some of the brickwork above my front door. Definitely recommend these guys.
