Hatten Masonry

Contacted Dan about chimney repair and he was quick to respond back with a quote. Communications between Dan and I were excellent. I was very happy how they left things and cleaned everything up. Would highly recommend Dan and his crew.

The men arrived on time and were courteous and professional. The work was top quality and we are very happy that we hired Hatten Masonry.
They lived up to the ratings previously given them and this was why we went with them. We were not dissapointed.

From initial contact to completion, Dan and his crew were prompt, courteous and professional. From the initial estimate to final cleanup and goodbye, the crew were very neat and very mindful of surroundings, landscapes, and driveway cleanup. Very thorough and they were spot on WRT initial estimate dependent on the condition of lower row bricks from roofline upward, etc. Brick selection was so close to original, it is difficult to notice the old and new brick delineation. Well done! Absolutely no hesitation to recommend their service to anyone in the Durham Region! Thanks Dan and team!

April 2019, Whitby Ontario,

Removed approximately 30 deteriorated (35-year-old) clay bricks on garage columns and side walls which had deteriorated from moisture as they were originally built close to the ground level. The Ontario building code would not allow clay brick to be located this low to the ground on a new build today.

Ground out mortar on other deteriorated joints including one crack in the back wall of the house that ran from 2nd floor to the foundation (associated with an earlier foundation crack that had been repaired previously).

Sourced new clay brick materials of the same manufacturer style and colour still available ( Hanson - Heritage Brown) plus cement bricks for retrofit of lower courses.

Replaced lower courses of bricks with parged cement brick to avoid direct contact of clay brick with moisture at grade around the garage.

Coloured mortar replacement was very well matched to the existing weathered mortar.

Finished work was high quality, this was critical as the bricked area involved is facing the street.

Completed enthusiastically, good communication, timely with good clean up.

Received written quotes from three vendors Durham and Toronto based prior to selection, the price was in line, I picked Hatten as he was a local vendor and presented well.

These guys are consummate professionals. I contacted Hatten Masonry back in Fall 2018 to discuss a Spring 2019 Job. Dan was quick to provide a quote, follow up and have me scheduled for early April. We were scheduled in for Early April as discussed and the follow thru was amazing. On time, on budget and was even able to complete an extra job by taking down an old chimney stack and match existing siding on the home. I can't say enough great things about Dan and his team and their high level of skill, competency and thoroughness. Dan has even been back to check on the work and correct some very minor items. Thanks again to Dan and the whole team at Hatten Masonry!

Update - May 2020 - I've had two very small minor issues in nature. Dan is not only extremely responsive but remedied the issue very very quickly. These guys are consummate professionals and would recommend to anyone without issue! Thx again, Dan!

The crew did an excellent job. They were careful or our property and the neighbouurs beside us. They provided us with before and after photos so we could see the damage and the subsequent repair. Tidy, thorough, friendly, and a informative about the work that needed to be done. Thank you.

I hired Dan and his guys to tear down the top of my chimney (from the roofline up) and rebuild it. He was quick to respond to my initial request on HomeStars, and showed a genuine interest in the project right from the start. The price was more than fair (I NEVER go with the cheapest quote) and the quality of work was amazing. Dan even called me from the site before starting, to go over brick samples (because my brick was no longer available) to make sure I was good with the colour. A totally painless transaction.

Dan replaced our water damaged chimney buttresses with Indiana limestone and replaced bricks (salvaged) as needed and completed the tuck pointing necessary. He even added a deflector to the roof so the rain would run away from the chimney, and not down the outside of it, where it was doing all the damage over the years. Nice to just relax, worry-free, and let a professional handle it. Thanks Dan.

Water was leaking in my basement from the chimney. Dan found the problem right away and within a week it was fixed. Great, friendly service as well as reasonable. Would definitely recommend this company.

just awesome and professional and honest
Thanks I would definately cal again and refer as well!
