Straight Up Masonry

Straight Up Masonry did a great job on my chimneys. I don't know much about masonry - job looks fine to me, however I do know good customer service when I see it. They were prompt, efficient, and cleaned up well afterwards. Tony also took the time to show me how the old chimney bricks and liner were failing - this made me more comfortable with the decision to rebuild the whole chimney rather than fix the top few rows of bricks. Furthermore the price was reasonable versus other quotes we had received. I glad I chose Straight Up Masonry and I'd definately recommend them.

I contacted Straight Up Masonry after reading the reviews on this site, and I was extremely pleased with the work. The bottom of a brick pillar in the front of my house was crumbling away. As well, water and snow had started to wear away at the mortar at the bottom of a brick wall that forms the side of my house. Tony was able to come out a few days earlier than we had originally scheduled to do the work (I've never had that experience with a contractor!), and the end result was perfect. The pillar was repaired, and the bottom of the wall was parged all within a short amount of time, and the work area was clean. I would definitely hire Straight Up Masonry again.

We were extremely satisfied with Anthony's work on our chimney. We needed to replace our crumbling chimney and we did a little research and found Straight Up Masonary. The wait for Anthony to come out was lengthy but it was WELL worth it! Anthony gave us a quote and a date in which he would arrive and deconstruct and rebuild our chimney. He was in contact with us numerous times as the date arrived. When I emailed Anthony he got back to us promptly with any answers we needed. The job itself was done QUICKLY and the price he quoted was right on! He and his work mate cleaned up the area to an excellent standard and he even popped by a few weeks later to ask if everything was okay with the chimney. Working with Straight Up Masonary was an EXCELLENT experience. We are looking to replace our roof now and I only wish Anthony did roofs too:)

Tony professionally repaired the damage to my chimney in the timeframe he quoted and I am very pleased with his work and would recommend him to others. I was also impressed with his followup a few weeks after the repair to ensure all was fine.

We recently hired Tony for some badly needed tuckpointing on our vintage 1917 home. The work they did was perfect and they identified a few areas that needed special care and just did it. Great communication and it's nice to work with likeable people who obviously want to do a good job. Thank you Tony.

We have a brick front and there were a number of bricks in various spots that were breaking down and some serious tuck pointing work needed to be done. We found Tony on Homestars and liked what we read. Tony was always very courteous and friendly and really knew his stuff.

We were very impressed with how quickly and and efficiently he worked and did miss a few spots after review and came back the next day to finish them off. He did a really nice job matching the bricks to the rest of the house and also mixed the mortar himself to work with the old style of bricks our house used.

Very pleased. My only comment would be that he said it would be a 2 day job but ended up being a 1 day job so for a 1day job, the price I considered to be a little high. for a 2 day job it was about right. However he did a great job with no hassle and that is worth a lot in itself.

edit: fixed typos

Straight up masonry arrived promptly to begin their job. They asked if we were satisfied at the end of the job and if there were any areas they missed when tuckpointing. The tuckpointing was clean and even. They only charged what they quoted on their estimate. They cleaned up after themselves.

I found Straight- Up Masonry through Homestars. Owner (Anthony) was very knowledgeable and his first price was the final price. He was honest and very friendly. When it came to the day of the Job he was fast and very clean. I was surprised to see how much care he put into making sure everything was clean and went as far as washing down the area. Anthony is professional and I would recommend him to anyone needing masonry repair.

When Tony came to review the brick repair for our house, we had already had five companies give quotes. He was only one of two people to visit our house and the only person who came that was actually a mason. He proceeded to explain, in detail, what was causing our issue and explained to us future problems we might encounter.

Before giving us a quote, he offered up a number of different solutions for how our repair could be handled, giving us the pros & cons for each. He was very honest and straight forward. After meeting with Tony the first time, we had decided to give the repair work to Straight Up even before we had received the quote (he was the lowest quote anyways).

Tony did excellent work, communicated in a timely manner, showed up & finished as promised, had great pricing, did a complete clean-up, was very respectful to our family and was a pleasure to deal with. We have no hesitations in using Straight Up again or recommending them to anyone.

Tony tore down our chimney to the roof line and rebuilt using similar brick. A new precast concrete cap and a new rain cap for the middle flue tile were installed. Tony was on time and did the job extremely well. He was the only contractor who brought a ladder and actually looked at the chimney. At all times he communicated with us in a straight forward fashion. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again. Our chimney looks great and we are very pleased.
