Straight Up Masonry

Straight Up took the time to walk us through all our restoration options and did an excellent job - teams were on time, professional, tidy and checked in repeadedly as the project progressed to ensure we were happy with everything as it went along. Would happily recommend.

We brought in Tony from Straight Up Masonry to reface the front of our house in a brick veneer and, after speaking with him, hired him to co-ordinate the entire job! He brought in Brahm from Warmcrete and together they took care of fixing the next-to-non-existent structure in the front, getting the front spray insulated then installing vapour barrier and our new bay windows. Then his team refaced our house, taking care not to hurt our garden. The result is gorgeous! Every step of the way, Tony and his team have kept in communication with us - even with weather delays, we never worried about whether we'd been forgotten. I highly recommend Straight Up Masonry to get the job done!

Straight up showed up, gave me a quote. A week later I approved it and they showed up with a full crew and finished my job in a day. They closed in an old doorway and matched the brick perfectly. Their price was great. I would highly recommend.

Tony and his crew were great to work with. They gave us a quote in 2016, we ended up not doing the work, but we contacted them in the spring of 2017 and he honored the quote he gave me the year before. Not many companies would have done that. The work was done quickly and the workmanship was outstanding. They left the job cleaner than when they found it. great job overall.

8 foot wide opening of cinderblock and brick wall for a sliding patio door. Filled in previous door opening with brick.

The concrete pad in front of the main entrance to the house had become unlevel over the course of years, and was sloped toward the house. It needed to be replaced. Straight Up Masonry had done excellent work on a chimney rebuild, so I hired them for this work. They came at the agreed time, removed the old pad (8' x 5'), and poured a new one, which is level and looks great !

Tony came and gave us an estimate to pour a new bench footing, and close up an old window as a part of our basement renovation.
He was able to start work a couple days later, his guys were on time and got the work done quickly. The results look good and Tony was very prompt about responding to emails and calls. He even coordinated with our framer to make sure the footing was to the necessary specifications for the walls.
Overall, we are very pleased with the work done.

The fire bricks were loose and needed replacing. The demolition of the interior bricks was quick and the problem was quickly figured out. The base of the fireplace was just rubble, which accounted for the loose bricks and why it would smell slightly smoky in the basement.
A ceme;t floor had to be poured delaying the project.
They did the job properly and neatly. Showed up when they said and delivered.

I was very pleased at the work done by Straight Up Masonry. The estimate was thorough and professional. The workers arrived many weeks later, on time. They worked hard, finishing up within a day and a half. Did excellent work, cleaned up after themselves. I'm very pleased, and would highly recommend their service.

This was our second time hiring Straight Up and it won't be our last. Tony, Crystal, and their guys are all excellent. We're very happy with the high quality of work, fair price, and level of service!

Edit: adding this over a year later. I just tore down my old front porch exposing the lower inside corners of the pillars that had some messy mortar joints that were impossible to reach when being built. I asked Tony to come back and clean up the joints now that they are reachable before having my new porch built. Tony sent a crew the very next day to grind out the messy joints and fill them back in cleanly. It looks great and Tony dropped by himself while his guys were working to make sure it was done right. Straight Up Masonry does quality work and stands behind it with zero drama - hence their name!
