We had leakage happening around the window in one of our upstairs bedrooms. Rob Norris came out to assess the situation and have a look at our roof. After inspecting the roof, he showed me photos of the roof and said other areas of our roof appeared to be in good shape and, without tearing things up, he couldn't ascertain where the problem was coming from. He could have easily said we needed a new roof, and had us go through a costly repair, but he didn't. Rob felt the issue was perhaps ice buildup pushing back from the eaves and suggested we keep an eye on it. If the problem persisted , he would come back and have another look. In spring, when any and all ice was gone, we did realize that the problem was persisting, so we had Rob come back for another look. He quoted us on re-shingling one side of our pitched roof (not the entire roof). Once he tore up shingles, he was able to see a few key areas that were causing our problem. The repair looks great and we haven't had a problem since. WE found Rob very easy and honest. The work was quick and neat. As soon as anyone asks for a roofer recommendation, I tell them to contact Norris Roofing.

We have had Straight Up do a few different jobs on our house from tuck-pointing and parging, to pillar repair and cement work. In this instance, we needed to repair an existing extension on the back of our house by putting in a new foundation and wall on one side as well as underpinning another wall . Tony and his team worked very well with the Engineer and completed the job on time and on budget. Straight Up always does a great job and their employees work neatly and efficiently. On this particular job, I really appreciate how Tony and Crystal went above and beyond to deal with City Building Inspectors to assure that the permit was closed. Straight Up is our number one recommendation for any kind of masonry / cement work. They really are the best.

We needed to repair an existing extension on the back of our house by putting in a new foundation and wall on one side as well as underpinning another wall . Ram and his team from CESI came to assess the problem, as ell as inspect the soil in the area of the original foundation. CESI then drew up the plan for the work and acquired the Building Permits from the City of Toronto. Ram made a number of visits to inspect the site and advise our contractor on various issues. The contractor and Ram worked very well together and did a great job. What I really appreciate is how Ram went above and beyond to deal with City Building Inspectors to assure that the permit was closed. I would recommend CESI to anyone.

We had Mud Monkeys do some waterproofing on the exterior of our home in July 2013. Their work was great and quick. They're response to our queries and needs was outstanding. They went above and beyond. We also had them put in a sump pit as well as weeping tile and a new floor in part of the basement. Again they did great work. I would recommend Darby, Nick and their crews to anyone.

This is the second job that Straight Up has done on our house. After having water-proofing work done on our house we hired Tony and his crew to re-parge above-ground on our wall as well as lay new cement along the side of the house. As always, they were a pleasure to deal with. Excellent work, completed in a timely and very neat/clean manner. In addition, I really appreciate the thoughtfulness with which Tony addressed the project and in finding solutions that were best for our house. I highly recommend Tony, Crystal and their team and will definitely turn to them for our next masonry project.

Tony Devlin and the Straight Up Masonry team were great to deal with. Not only is their work excellent, but it was also carried out w/in the timelines and prices quoted. Afterward, they were extremely conscienscious in their clean up. I plan to use them again for another project on my house next year.
