Chimney rebuild and tuck-pointing

Hired Straight up Masonry for my Chimney rebuild and some tuck-pointing done as well. The estimate was on par with other companies but what set them apart was how easy it was to communicate with them ( Tony and Crystal )before and during the process. They did it all in about 7 days and were extremely professional and friendly. The Chimney came out great. During the tear down a little damage was done on a inside wall, called Tony immediately came out and offered to fix the wall. This is what i like a problem came up and took ownership no excuses this is what you want in people you hire. Also during the build we had a lot of rain Tony came over on a off day to check all tarps to ensure everything was covered up properly. Mitch and Declan did an outstanding job showed up every day on time and did a meticulous job cleaning up. Highly recommend this company would not hesitate to call for any future projects.

Thanks John,
This was a great job to work on, thank you for being organized and prepared.
When issues arise and they do occasionally, we do not run from then but work with the client to fix the problem.
I will have this job on my web site.

Garage Foundation repair

I hired Straight Up to replace some spalding brick along the bottom of my garage. I made my decision based on their excellent reviews on Home Stars and I must say that I was not disappointed.

Due to the fact that they could only do the project in stages, to ensure the wall above did not collapse, the job took four days to complete. Each day the site was left clean and tidy. I am very satisfied with the work that was done and will use them again if I ever need a mason.

Tuck Pointing and brick replacement

Tony and his team at Straight Up Masonry came highly recommended to me by a friend and for good reason, the team showed up on time and completed the job quickly and with amazing results! They left my place clean and completed all the areas we discussed originally. I've been dissappointed by so many trades in the past but not Straight up Masonry.

chimney rebuild

These folks were responsive to my questions, came when they said they were going to, were exceedingly pleasant -- and now my chimney doesn't leak! I like that they're local and that it's a family business.

FOUNDATION & WALL REPAIR

We have had Straight Up do a few different jobs on our house from tuck-pointing and parging, to pillar repair and cement work. In this instance, we needed to repair an existing extension on the back of our house by putting in a new foundation and wall on one side as well as underpinning another wall .
Tony and his team worked very well with the Engineer and completed the job on time and on budget. Straight Up always does a great job and their employees work neatly and efficiently.
On this particular job, I really appreciate how Tony and Crystal went above and beyond to deal with City Building Inspectors to assure that the permit was closed.
Straight Up is our number one recommendation for any kind of masonry / cement work. They really are the best.

Brick work

Tony and his team did a wonderful job with brick replacement, rebuilding our front pillar as well as some major work on our walk up. Declan oversaw the work. His team came on time, always cleaned up and offered invaluable suggestions. We were so impressed we are going to have straight up masonry do all our window sills.

Flagstone Steps Relaid

I found Straight Up Masonry on HomeStars and reached out to them about our front steps. The mortar had cracked, and the steps were "floating". From initial appraisal to work completion, I could not be more pleased. The assessment and work was done while I was at work. In fact, I never met the team, but the finished product speaks for itself. What was once an eyesore and safety issue is now a beautiful front steps again. Many thanks as the whole process could not have been easier.

brick repair and siding removal

I can not express enough how fantastic is was working with Straight Up Masonry. They were professional every step of the way. From Crystal to Tony and all the guys it was a great experience.

We had a large job. The siding on our Victoria house was removed to expose the original brick. Then the brick was repaired and replaced in certain areas. The results were beyond our expectations

Each step was explained to us in detail to ensure we fully understood the process. There was a situation where a significant section of our bricks were unstable and dangerous. Tony and team alerted us immediately and walked through the steps needed to correct it and they did so it a timely fashion.

We also had our front walkway redone in concrete and it looks amazing.

I would recommend Straight Up Masonry to anyone, they are super friendly, polite, professional and all round good people
