Window Sill Replacement

When I contacted the company Crystal was very empathetic to my situation. She immediately asked Tony if he would be available to come to my house and assess my shoddy window sill replacement done by a previous bricklayer I hired. Tony was available and came within 30 minutes of my initial call. He was courteous and very knowledgable. He was able to point out that my new sills had many mistakes and agreed with me that my previous bricklayer could have worked harder at measuring and doing it correctly. The sills were all incorrectly sloping, as Tony showed me on one sill that a pen couldn't roll down off it, while the other sill beside it was ok. Tony was able to colour match my mortar exactly by taking out a sample colour from a sample board. It was a perfect match. The previous bricklayer gave me a pink colour for mortar which was terrible. I would recommend Tony for the job as he is honest, extremely knowledgable and has great customer service.

Chimney rebuild

Tony and team were great. They were very busy when I first approached them last fall but when I followed up in the spring they came right out to give me a quote. Many masons didn't even return my call! They showed up on time. They did the job quickly and on budget. They cleaned everything up and my chimney looks amazing! Would totally recommend them.

replace porch steps and landing

Cannot say enough to thank Tony for the excellent work he did on our porch and steps .He explained the different options i had and was quick to send me a detailed estimate of the cost of the project.
A lot of pride and care goes into his work. You matched the brick colours and chose a great product for our porch landing.
Glad i chose your company to do this work for us. Choosing the right company isn't an easy task when you live in such a large city . so many companies which promise great things end up giving you an inferior product at the end.

Thanks again for your professionalism and dedication.. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs to have this type of work done.

bricking to match existing house

We're in the middle of a reno that involved matching existing brick for an addition as well as some patchwork. Our contractor brought in Straight Up and their work was amazing! They matched the brick SO WELL you can hardly tell the difference... even in areas where the old brick and new brick are right next to each other (i.e. bricking up the back door). In addition, the workers were very friendly, knowledgable, and extremely professional. They worked efficiently and answered our questions without hesitation. Thumbs up for Straight Up!

Door sill installation and surrounding brickwork, replace previous repair

Tony and his team installed a new exterior door sill and replace missing brickwork underneath, bricked in 3 holes (2 of which required removing an earlier DIY patch job), and parged part of the foundation. The work is impeccable, and the service was prompt and reasonably priced. I'd definitely recommend Straight Up Masonry to friends and family.

Tuck pointing and window sill replacement on front of home

I hired Straight Up Masonry to replace the window sills, grind out all of the existing mortar and tuck point the front of my 1870 (?) Victorian row house. The house has quite a lean to it after many years of shiftage so it was tricky job! Straight Up did a wonderful job solving the various challenges of such an off-kilter proposition... leveling the sills and employing various ingenious tricks to draw the eye away from sloping mortar lines of the house. Straight Up was prompt, got the job done on time and cleaned up every day and offered no unexpected surprises. The house looks great and the investment in Straight Up Masonry has undoubtedly added value far beyond the cost of the job. I heartily recommend them!!!
