Parging

The parging on our foundation was cracked and falling off. Straight Up Masonry came in and removed the old parging and reparged the foundation.
Price was very reasonable and work was carried out quickly on the date given.
Would definitely recommend!

Removal of stone facade & porch, rebuild of concrete door sill

We were in search of a company to demolish the stone facade of our home, as well as the stone porch and flower bed, and after much research we decided to hire Straight Up Masonry. They did a great job and were prompt on following up with additional work in a short time frame once we discovered that our door sill needed to be rebuilt. It was a very positive experience the whole way through, and it was a pleasure to deal with Crystal, Tony and crew. Excellent service, honest upfront estimate and a great result. We wouldn't hesitate to contact them again if we are in need of any stone or brick work in the future. Thank you Crystal and Tony!

Interlock & brickwork

This company delivers the highest quality of workmanship and the owners and crews are always a pleasure to work with.

This was the third project they've done for me. Although the job was smaller and pickier than the previous two, the work was done with the same care, on time and on budget.

Chimney Repair

I have a secondary chimney that was shifting and sinking and afraid it was going to collapse. After researching masonry companies recommended on Home Stars, I chose Straight Up Masonry and wasn't disappointed. Tony gave me a few options to rectify the chimney and after weighing the options and costs, I chose to repair verses removing (roof and eaves would have to be done if I removed chimney). Straight Up did some tuck pointing, replaced some of the bricks and installed steel lintels. Thanks to Tony, Crystal and the crew who all did an amazing job. Would highly recommend to family and friends!

Window Openings and Lintels in Brick Foundation Wall

This was our third project with Straight Up Masonry. They previously rebuilt our chimney and front porch pillars with excellent results in both cases. I've just had them back this week for some work to my brick foundation wall. I needed four rough openings cut into the brick foundation wall for new basement windows, steel lintels installed, and two old openings bricked up.

Their workmanship is always top-notch, their crew very skilled, polite, and respectful, this most recent project no exception! They reused bricks from cutting the new openings to fill in the old openings for a closer match and you can't even tell where the old windows used to be! It all matches perfectly, toothed in nicely as if my 100-year-old brick foundation wall had always been that way!

Great communication from Tony and Crystal, extremely responsive to emails and texts, great workmanship, fair price, crew is always extremely punctual, arriving at 7:30 am on the dot to start work, friendly and respectful of my property and that of my neighbours.

I'm running out of masonry projects that need doing, but if I think of any more, I would call Straight Up Masonry for a fourth time!

Masonry repointing and exterior spot repair

We retained Straight Up to perform some exterior repointing and sealing prior to eavestrough and downspout replacement, and were thrilled by the service on all counts. Tony responded to us promptly, gave a detailed, logical and reasonable estimate, and even discovered some wall imperfections that we ourselves hadn't noticed. Once the house was ready for the work (after installation of hydro line protection), a crew was assigned within two days and were at the door precisely on time. Not only was the work efficiently and thoroughly performed, but they went beyond the minimum and repointed an area that they identified as being in need of repair (at no extra cost), and cleaned up the whole area after their work was done.

I would highly recommend Tony, Crystal and the crew at Straight Up Masonry for getting a job done, right, efficiently and at a fair price.

Chimney Repair

It was a positive experience to have enlisted in Straight Up Masonry for our chimney repair.

Tony came out to assess what needed to be done, and provide the quote promptly - that was a good start and indication of a great company to deal with. In conjunction that they are responsive to respond whether email or by phone - it was a pleasure speaking to Crystal or Tony.

The crew arrived on time, professional and friendly. They did the work and cleaned up after the project was done. It was nice to have the company owner come out to visit as well - that added a nice touch and assurance.

The chimney was repaired and it looked fantastic!

I did raise a concern after the project was done some time later.. they took my concern seriously, and came back to look at the concern and made things right. They stand by their work and warranty and that is a great thing for sure.

I trust the company and would not hesitate to use them again. I would definitely recommend them above all. They are reliable, great in client communication, and stand by their service and product integrity.

Rebuilt chimney

Straight Up removed our old 4-flue chimney to the roofline and rebuilt it using new bricks (that reasonably matched the house), a pre-cast concrete cap, new clay flues and rain caps. They used their own scaffolding for safety. The cost was very competitive, the workmanship excellent, the crew pleasant, with work and clean-up completed on time and on budget. Recommended without hesitation.
