Chimney repair

Stephen was very knowledgeable and explained everything that would be done with before and after pictures. He completed the work when he said it would be completed. The price was the same as the quote with no hidden charges.

Chimney repair

Working with Stephen has been the best experience I've had since owning my home.

I had reached out to help diagnose and repair a leaking chimney and he answered directly and offered to come by the very next day. After flying a drone up and taking a few pictures we determined the issue was unrelated to the chimney itself and Stephen went out of his way to give me a few recommendations on how to fix the issue myself and even gave me some supplies directly from his truck at no cost simply to help me out.

It's so rare these days to meet people who are so forthcoming and helpful. I called another company who was highly rated who only wanted to pitch a complete chimney replacement before even coming to see the job. The difference was night and day.

Big fan of Stephen and only wish there were more people like him out there!

Chimney Repair

I had a cracked chimney flue and had been told that my chimney needed to be completely rebuilt. Stephen came to my house to assess the issue. He advised that the chimney would not need any work for 10 to 15 years. As a mason, he could not replace the flue, but he went out of his way to locate someone who could.

Indeed the exterior of the chimney while it may need some work does not validate a tear down. Any remedial work can wait as there is no evidence of failure other than aesthetically. To replace the cracked flue at the bottom of the chimney would involve a good deal of work. A zero tolerance steel liner with some patching would be the cost effective route to take with this project. While we are not shy about taking on a project we are not interested in taking advantage of a client. This is the most cost effective route to take. Thank you very much for your kind review.

Wall Repair

SMC Masonry fixed our leaky east wall which had been giving us problems for years. He provided very professional service, and worked with our roofing company, helping with the financing, to come up with a final solution to fix this problem. He did this, all the while dealing with serious family circumstances. SMC scores a solid 10 for his professionalism and dedication to their customers. I would highly recommend the SMC crew to anyone.

Brick work

I had smc masonry put up brick where I had taken a sliding door out and put in a window. They did a perfect job at matching the 30+ year old brick work.
Would highly recommend.

Chimney Repair

I had my Chimney reconstructed back in March and unfortunately the people did a poor job in particular the top part which I noticed a few months later as per the before pic. Stephen from SMC Masonry and his team did a great job fixing my chimney and take in pride in doing it right as per the after pic. I only wish that I hired SMC Masonry from the start. I highly recommend them, Stephen has years of masonry experience/knowledge which was clear to me when Stephen came to look at the job to provide a quote.

Thank you Lloyd. Indeed we run into this all too often. I believe I trust I provided you with enough information to help you with the issues. HomeStars Reviews are important as they help homeowners find reliable contractors and us to find more work. In general it is important not just to get multiple estimates for a project but to research the company you hire to do the work. All the best and it was a pleasure meeting you.

Outstanding workmanship and service

The team at SMC masonry did a fantastic job. The owner ensured I understood the work being done start to finish. They were in time, everyday, finished in a timely manner and cleaned up every step of the way. Id highly recommend them and will be calling them back for future projects.

It was so much a pleasure to meet you. We were very happy to be able to help you with your project and look forward to working with you again in the future. These reviews help homeowners find reliable contractors and us to find more work so they are important. We only recently stepped into the modern age of the internet as most of our work came through word of mouth. We have been serving the Durham Region and G.T.A. for almost 50 years now, building everything from homes, schools, factories, hospitals, fire and police stations and highrise buildings. The 4 senior masons in our family combine for roughly 200 years of experience in our trade. This is an invaluable wealth or knowledge and experience. I give credit to the younger generation of our family company for encouraging me to step into the 21st century as I am old school. This is our third year now with HomeStars and on the internet with a website. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
