Chimney rebuild

Due to a busy work schedule, I was unable to be onsite to meet with Tony, however he came out and looked at my chimney, and then sent me an estimate that was almost half of what I had been quoted by two other contractors. I hired them to do the work, and their workmen were onsite and working away first thing in the morning on the agreed date. The job was finished in a day, and they came back the very next day to tend to some minor details (such as reattaching an antenna I had attached to the chimney). They were efficient, friendly, did excellent work, and did not require me to take any time out of my busy work schedule to do anything. Much appreciated. I will be using them for more masonry work in the future.

Fireplace repair

Straight Up Masonry did a fantastic job. Tony came out to assess the brick damage to our wood burning fireplace. He fully explained our options to make the repairs. His crew were extremely professional, punctual, hard working & dedicated. Tony also followed up to ensure our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Straight Up Masonry.

chimney rebuild, tuckpointing, dog door opening

'Straight Up Masonry' is the team you want to hire! The estimate was very fair. The team is highly skilled and VERY PROFESSIONAL! The job was done on time and with great respect to the property. The site was as good as new when things were completed. Any questions I had were always answered promptly. Crystal, Tony and the team were a great pleasure to do business with! I would not hesitate for a second to hire these fine people again. I am a home renovator with over 20 years experience I know how stressful it is to try and find contractors to do work outside of my own skill set. The reviews left on 'HomeStars' helped me to find 'Straight Up Masonry'. These are honest people who do quality work at a fair price and take all the worry away. I really do LOVE my new chimney, 'Straight Up Masonry' did a beautiful job!

porch pillar replacement

Excellent Service. I 100% recommend this company. Their estimate was clearly itemised so we could see exactly what we were being charged for. The workmen showed up exactly when they said they would. They were polite, worked hard and left the site cleaner than they found it. Absolutely delighted with their work and would hire them again without hesitation.

Chimney rebuild

Excellent experience all around! Extremely satisfied. Very deserving of all the 10/10 reviews they've received. Would repeat everything that's already been said: great communication, punctual, everyone was very courteous and professoinal, trustworthy, competitive pricing compared to 6 other quotes I received, not to mention the work itself looks fantastic! Already decided to have them back next year for more work.

Repairing front porch

They were prompt and professional in responding to my queries, showed up when they said they would, and did a very nice and professional job repairing our front porch, removing the damaged stones, and parging. I would certainly use them again.

Tuckpointing & brick replacement

Tony came to give me a quote first thing the next morning just the day after I contacted the company for an estimate. He suggested an option to replace the old window sills that I hadn't been considering, and I'm so glad he did because it looks amazing! When I told him I was getting other quotes he agreed that was a good idea, and he suggested a couple of things I could ask the other contractors, like what kind of mortar they use when repairing a 100-year-old home like mine. Then he told me what his company uses and why.

Tony's quote was very fair and in line with the others I received, but it was his prompt response and helpful suggestions (none of the other contractors suggested the sills and I had to ask THEM about the mortar) that convinced me to hire him. He was able to schedule the work just a week later, and the guys arrived both days at 7:30 to start work. They were friendly, professional and able to answer any questions I had. They left the area clean. And when the work was done and I identified a small area they had assumed was my neighbour’s, they willingly came back the very next day to complete it at no extra cost.

I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Tony’s company again for similar work based on the quality, timeliness and sense of confidence I got from him and his team. I have already given the Straight Up Masonry contact details to a friend.
