Straight Up Masonry

Requested online for estimate and was contacted within 24hrs, very professional and courteous. They came when they said they would to do estimate; I had additional questions and they called me back right away and took the time to explain clearly what work was required. The work was completed as contracted and in a timely manner. Would certainly recommend this company and would call upon them for any future work that may be needed. Thanks!

Straight Up Masonry recently finished working at a new home we built. As always, Tony's work was superior quality and finished on time and within budget. Tony is a pleasure to work with!

We asked Straight Up Masonry to remove a window for us and re-brick the wall. They did a super job and their quote was the lowest of the 3 that I obtained. They cleaned up well afterwards and even insisted on mopping the floor where they'd had to walk - WOW! Great job, excellent service and very personal guys! I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

Tony was great to work with, he was very professional, we will definitely use him on our next project, and highly recommend him. Very fair pricing, met timelines and great quality work.

Tony was very professional and gave a very fair price. They arrived on time and completed the project quickly . The quality of work exceeded our expectations. The staff was very polite and finished the project in one day. They left our property cleaner than when they arrived. Excellent company highly recommend.

Straight Up did a great job replacing some bricks that had been damaged over the years and ensuring the structure add additional features that would ensure bricks would last for years to come. There were 6 rows above our attached garage (edge of our deck above) that had deteriorated due to water that was able to get in between the bricks and during the winter would expand and cause damage. The new capstones added will ensure this will no occur in the future.

Our home is a 90 year old fully detached red brick house in Toronto. The mortar around the sides and particularly the back was in pretty bad shape. The chimney also obviously needed a recapping. We got 5 quotes, most trying to upsell us to a full tuck pointing. We went with Tony and Straight Up because they were the most up front about the expenses. Because of the weather we had to move the work forward but they then arrived on the appointed date on time, they were fantastic with the neighbours (we have a shared driveway) and got straight to work. They took two days instead of three and we had to be out of town but they handled it all. Their estimate was firm with no surprises. Very happy with the work. The chimney is in beautiful shape, the mortar work is unobtrusive and well done. Couldn't be happier.

I am the owner of Cornerbrook Construction Inc, a Toronto based company that does large scale renovations, additions, and new builds in the GTA. After our mason retired in 2012, we were in the hunt for a new masonry company to handle all of our brickwork. Straight Up Masonry came highly recommended to us, and so we decided to give them a shot. They completed 3 large projects for us in 2012, including a new brick rear addition in North York. Their rates were very competitive, and they truly take pride in their work. Their staff are very skilled, professional, and reliable. We will continue to use Straight Up Masonry for all of our masonry needs in 2013 and highly recommend them to contractors and homeowners alike.

Tony and his crew were excellent and I'd definitely recommend Tony.

We'd had a leak in the bathroom that had been misdiagnosed 3 times by contractors/roofers and we'd paid unnecessary money to fix things that weren't broken. Then when it was diagnosed as coming from the chimney the first chimney company I hired did a poor job. I then hired this company on the basis of the homestars reviews and we've been very happy. I've actually waited half a year since the work to write this review as in the past water problems have showed up after the initial work.

Tony tore down the entire chimney to the roofline and then built up a new chimney and the work was excellent. I'm happy to say we've had no leaks/issues since. He had to put up scaffolding to get to the roof and even that was done with a great deal of care not to ruin plants/trees in the front.
