Straight Up Masonry

The outer course of brick on my 100 year old house had serious deterioration behind the flaking parging. Straight up presented a few different options to repair with varying degrees of work and cost. We chose to go with a complete removal of the outer course of brick from just below ground level up and replace with concrete block and new parge coat. Included carpentry work - new wall plate.

Tony is a straight forward and no nonsense. He provided fair pricing and explained in great detail how he would complete the job including safety measures such as supporting lack posts in basement. His team of guys were experienced and explained their work each day to me. Completed ahead of schedule. Would definitely recommend calling them if masonry work is needed.

We have had Straight Up Masonry out twice now to do work on our house. First to do some tuckpointing on various areas of our house and replace a brick window sill with a large limestone sill. We were so happy with their professionalism, meticulous work & fair price that we had them back again to do another window sill.
We had many quotes and they came in mid-range. Work area was spotless when they left. Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
On the 2nd job they were able to squeeze us in on a cancellation (much appreciated since we were mid-Reno and its busy season!)
They were also helpful in giving some ideas and planning for future work we'd like to get done.
Companies are so impersonal these days, but not these guys. They were great.
Highly recommend their work.
Thanks for everything guys! Can't wait to have you out for our next project!

This is the second time we have used Straight Up Masonry and we still couldn't be more happier with the job they did on both projects.

Tony, Crystal and the team of guys Tony sends out are as professional as they get. We have had to hire many trades over the years with various different house renovations and I always tell people that Straight Up Masonry is the best. They show up when they're supposed, the complete the job on time and leave your place spotless.

We cannot give them enough stars and we highly recommend them.

I had an old unused furnace chimney taken down to the flashing and capped off. Another chimney for the fireplace required repairs and there were numerous step cracks around it and the surrounding windows. All the brick window sills required repointing as well.

It was a pleasure dealing with Tony, Crystal, and the Straight-up Masonry crew. They were punctual and polite. All work was completed to my satisfaction and the site clean-up was excellent.

In summary - top notch workmanship at a fair price.

Professional job.
Very clean.
Ahead of scheduled date.
Workers very polite.
Great team from office to workers.
Second house I've used them on, wouldn't use anyone else.

Had my chimney removed this week - the job was done well, and the site was cleaned perfectly. Great work Tony, Crystal and crew!

They were quick, efficient and very personable. Shane was able to provide a quote and complete the work within a very short timeframe.

So happy to have worked with Straight Up Masonry. Our front concrete and brick steps were crumbling. The repair was done quickly, communication was a breeze, and when the job turned out to be less work that projected, they dropped the price.

I hired Straight Up Masonry to rebuild my 1960 Chimney which was eroding and had large cracks in the cement top piece. From the quote to completing the job in such a timely manner I am very satisfied by the work Tony's team did. They did a fantastic job. His team was Professional, courteous and punctual. The price for the project was reasonable and they cleaned up on the roof and the property. You wouldn't even know they had been here. They made sure my property was spotless after the work was completed. The new Chimney looks fantastic and blends in great with the existing house brick. I Highly recommend Straight Up Masonry for any chimney rebuilds or masonry work. - the chimney looks great and now I have no worries of any leaks coming into my home. Thank you for such an awesome job and for doing it so quickly.

Tony & the team did a great job. Professional, courteous and punctual. The price for the project was reasonable and they cleaned both outside and inside (around the chimney) and made sure the place was spotless after the job was done. Highly recommend Straight Up Masonry for any chimney rebuilds - the chimney looks great and our neighbours decided to also use Straight Up for their chimney. Thank you
