As a general contractor I have hired Tony on many occasions. Whether it has been a block foundation, or replacing a few bricks, Tony always completes his work with the attention to detail you would expect from a professional. I consider myself very lucky to have the support of such a talented trade. I look forward to working with Tony for many years to come.

Window sill and lintel replacement, repair parging to side of house

Tony was professional and very easy to work with right from our first contact with Straight Up Masonry. We needed to replace window sills and lintels on 7 Windows. Of the 3 quotes we received, Straight Up Masonry's was by far the most comprehensive and focused only on the work we needed to do. The price was resonable compared to other companies.
Tony was very patient and provided us with details of the work involved as we were quite anxious about the possibility of structural damage to our home. All the work was completed on time and within Tony's quoted estimate. We have already recommended Straight Up Masonry and will continue to do so.

Thanks Sara for all the recommendations and this great review, I don't believe in trying to sell the customer more work when its not needed,

Rebuild of chimney and front steps

Last year (sorry for the delay), Tony and Straight Up Masonry rebuilt our chimney and the our front steps. Tony responded very quickly to our initial request for a quotation. Of the three contractors who provided an estimate, he was the the only one who actually went up onto our roof to look at the chimney. He took digital photos of the chimney, and then showed us what needed to be done based on these photos. Once we agreed to proceed, Tony was prompt in beginning the work. The work was completed quickly. Tony was very pleasant to deal with. We were very pleased with the quality and look of the finished work. After the work was finished, we noticed one small chink in the mortar in one location. We contacted Tony about this, and he came over the next day to fill the chink in. We were impressed by his quick response to this issue. We would be very happy to recommend Tony and Straight Up Masonry.

Chimney Rebuild

Right from the estimate Straight Up Masonry was great to deal with. They responded to my message quickly, stopped by as soon as they could for an estimate and I was scheduled for the chimney rebuild asap. Tony was friendly to deal with and he and his staff did a great job on our chimney. We were initially going to replace the top few rows of bricks only, but after removing those we found more rotten bricks and ended going down to the roofline for the full rebuild. Tony was great at explaining what the issues were and they were flexible to work an extra day to accommodate the change. They were efficient and left no mess.

After reading reviews on Homestars we chose Straight Up Masonry and I'm glad we did. The job was great and the price was well worth it. We'll definitely be using them in the future.

Thanks Jody,
When these unexpected situations come up it is always great and very helpful for us to work with homeowners who can understand the problem needs to be fixed and not think they are being ripped off. Look forward to working with you on future projects.

Rebuilding the chimney

My estimate was prompt and included a photo of the work needing to be done. Tony arrived exactly when he said he would, he and his team were pleasant and thoughtful and the worksite was completely cleaned up afterward. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Rebuild Chimney and fix side patrio

Tony and the work team paired aesthetics with technical expertise when rebuilding our chimney. They removed the stone that had rust marks on them and were able to cut and re-position the remaining stone. This was important given that the chimney is at the front of the house and quite prominent. They took great care in preparing and cleaning up the site. They were organized and open to questions (especially Crystal) and I had confidence in their capacity to do a good job... and they did!

Stone Front Porch

Tony and the Straight Up Masonry crew is professional and reliable contractor. I recently sub-contracted them to take care of the footings, block laying, stone facing and concrete finishing of a front porch I was building as part of a larger landscaping project. They showed up on time, executed a high quality of workmanship and kept to the budget. Would totally recommend them and continue to use them as my masonry contractor. Keep up the great work guys!
