Damski Masonry

Great Work. Showed up on time, did a great job and cleaned up when done. Very professional and safe. Will use again if the need arises, and recommend to friends and family.

We have recently moved into an older (1953) home in Scarborough and one of the items on the pre-sale inspection was the state of the chimneys. One was in a state of disrepair and could have been considered a safety hazard. As this particular chimney is the one we would use (it's used for the gas fireplace in the basement) it was necessary to get fixed. We called for 3 quotes from different companies and Paul's was the best quote. We booked him for the work and he arrived on time (he was actually 15 minutes early - this is impressive considering the job was in Scarborough and his company base is in Mississauga!!!) and began working. I assumed this would take 2 days. Paul and his co-worker were able to compete the job in ONE day - they cleaned up after themselves, worked hard ALL DAY long and I was happy to say they did an awesome job. I would highly recommend Damski Masonry in the future!! We hope to get Paul back sometime in the spring (or maybe even later this year) to do some other masonry jobs that need to be taken care of.

This review is long overdue. We recently moved into a 30 year house in Oakville. We noticed that significant mortar was missing between some bricks and there were large cracks around windows. Paul came to the house promptly to give a quote and completed the work shortly thereafter.

Top notch work! He worked with one other person. They were finished in 3 hrs and were extremely clean.
I would hire Damski Masonry in a heartbeat. Price was very fair.

Damski Masonry has done some tuckpointing, parging & brick replacement works for me last month. Paul and his colleague have done a good work. He was very prompt with providing his quote as well as in starting and finishing the job. He left the job site quite clean and tidy. His quote was very reasonable and I would not hesitate to recommend him. The only complain I have is that Paul keep getting interrupted by my neighbors who want some minor works done to their house so I need to check my house at least twice to make sure all the works at various locations are completed. However, this show that Paul and his colleague have good workmanship!

Paul was very courteous and professional from the get go...showed up for estimate quickly and was able to schedule the repair in a reasonable time.
Called when he said he would and even called when he was running late.
He and his crew showed up on time, ready and prepared...completed the job within estimated time frame and left no mess behind. We were very happy with his work and would not hesitate to use him for future work/repairs. Would highly recommend.

Paul was super responsive to our request for a quote and provided one that was lower than others we received. We hired him for parging and tuckpointing and were very happy with his work. I would hire him again and recommend to others.

We hired Paul to re-brick a couple levels on our chimney. Paul was great to provide us with actual brick samples that he thought were a good match where no other company would. The bricks on our house are not made anymore so the new bricks were matched as closely as possible to our satisfaction. The job was completed efficiently with Paul's associate and the end result is great. Thanks to Paul and his team for completing this job effectively and for a reasonable price.

Paul was very thorough in his inspection of what was needed to be done with my chimney and provided a very competitive quote. He and his helper Bobby did an excellent job. I would recommend him to anybody!

I use Homestars to review and hire most, if not all of the companies to do work on my home. During the winter a large crack developed on the stone front of my house.
After searching on Homestars I found a company with many great reviews and sent them a picture of the crack, asking them if they would come out to give me a quote to fix it. They responded with an electronic quote by just looking at the picture.
I found the price very high to fix one crack, so I continued my search on Homestars and found Damski Masonry had quite a good number of reviews and all were very positive of his work.
Paul answered the phone right away and came over to my house the next day after I finished work to give me a quote. During the inspection Paul pointed out many other areas where the mortar was loose and falling off, including the backyard where 4 corners of the brick wall had cracks from the ground to the roof.
Paul's quote was HALF the price of the company that quoted to just fix the one crack I sent a picture of, AND he would be doing so much more repair work than just the one crack.

My home is 13 years old and the cement on the foundation has started to erode to the point I could see the re-bar in some areas. So when Paul finished his inspection and quote I asked him for a price to parge my cement foundation. He explained that he doesn't just parge over the existing cement, as it would fall off in a year or two and would need to be done again. Paul said that he uses a grinder to make cuts into the foundation to help the parging material bond better to the cement for a longer-lasting job. The quote was very fair so I agreed to have the parging done as well.

Paul called on the Sunday of the week he was going to do the job to confirm the date and he showed up on time with his employee to perform the work.
I cannot compliment the work that Paul and his employee did enough....it was excellent workmanship and the mortar matched the existing one exactly.
Regarding the "cut's" that they did on the foundation to help it bond, I thought they would make a few saw cuts every few feet or so....but what they did was make criss-cross cuts along the whole foundation wall. Imagine that it looked like a checker board or a chess board all along the wall. It took a lot of time, but that preparation is sure to make for a strong parging bond....I was EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with that extra step that they do.

Paul and his employee ensured that they cleaned up the work area after they were done.

We are extremely happy with the work that Paul did and would definitely hire him again to do any masonry work, as he is very professional and has fair prices.
Our neighbours commented right away on how nice the parging looks and they asked for Paul's contact information.

Do not hesitate to hire Paul, as his work is amazing and you won't get over-charged.

Paul is very professional and extremely courteous. He is a very hard worker. He replaced some bricks and did tuck pointing on the front and side wall of our house. He completed the job as required and on time. His price was very fair and we were happy with the results. I would highly recommend him to everyone.
