Chimney rebuild from roof up

Kudos to the guys at Otto's Masonery. They did a first class job on rebuilding my chimney. They were the most competitive of 3 quoting contractors, and surprisingly were able to match the brick to that on the rest of my 70 year old bungalow. The job was done quickly, the workmanship very good and the site left clean. What more could I ask?

Chimney removal and tuckpointing

Thank you for a worry free experience and high quality job. Otto's crew was on site very quickly to do the job and I am very satisified with the work. Otto and the office manager, Tony were very responsive to my emails and calls. The crew was courteous and we hardly noticed they were working on the roof and the driveway was cleaned up perfectly. Thank you!

Foundation Wall Rebuild

My husband and I had a flood 2 months back and through the course of the restoration work, a literal hole in the wall (the size of a human!) was discovered in the back foundation wall (part of an extension). We had a structural engineer confirm it was non-structural so a basic rebuild was required. We called several GTA masons and contractors, some of whom came and didn’t quote, others gave exorbitant quotes, and a few provided good pricing but their timelines were unreasonable (2-3 week wait times).
Otto’s Masonry came recommended by a neighbour and we looked the company up on Homestars. Otto made the initial site visit on a Friday, provided a fair quote the Saturday and started the demo by the Monday. End of Tuesday, the work was completed. We did have some minor questions/concerns--after we had paid in full--and they were handled with both expediency and courtesy early the next morning--the mark of a professional tradesman and crew. Thanks kindly, Otto and company.
We’d like to as well commend Otto’s crew, particularly James and Jordan, who started the workday early, worked steadily, and were hard working, conscientious and courteous all round. Tony, Otto’s assistant, was also very pleasant and professional in our dealings. We would recommend Otto’s Masonry to others.

Thank you very much Nina. James and Jordan joined our company this year and are getting stellar results. Otto, the owner of our company, is a trained mason (decades of experience) so when he takes a look at something, he's drawing on a lot of knowledge. Thanks for mentioning me too! Sincerely, Tony

Remove chimney from middle of house

We wanted to have an ancient chimney removed from our house from outside the roof, right down through the attic, 2 floors and the basement. Because the chimney was holding split joists, they needed to be supported by steel posts. Drywall had to be cut out on all floors.

Otto analyzed the situation, gave us advice and quickly had his crew - all very polite and friendly - quickly remove the chimney with minimal impact to the rest f the house.

Every estimate is in writing, receipts provided immediately and
work done fast, professionally, as promised. Clean-up was perfect. Otto is always available by phone and will site visit any time needed.

HIGHLY recommended!

Tuck Pointing entire house.

Otto came by gave me a quote on tuck pointing an older home. When we agreed to go ahead with the job 1 year later he stood by his original quote. The work was completed to a high quality and in a very timely fashion. Otto's and his team were excellent - punctual, neat, communication was great and they did exactly what they said they would to the high standard promised:
I would highly recommend them.

Tuckpointing of chimney

I needed someone to reinforce the mortar and bricks on the chimney of our older home. Based on reviews on Homestars I sought a quote from Otto's Masonry. The quote was fair and given that it was a smaller job they said they'd be able to get to it within a couple of weeks but instead I came home 2 days later to find that the work was completed. Easy to deal with and great work. Wholeheartedly will recommend.

Replacement of Front Porch

Otto and his team worked steadily and efficiently to replace our ancient crumbling porch with an awesome structure with stone facing and brick pillars. The contractor who installed our railings was very impressed with his workmanship as are many of our neighbours. Also in the scope of work was the regrading of the front lawn which previously contained a huge hump that made mowing problematic. The whole team was very polite and personable and patiently explained what was accomplished each day and what next steps were. We appreciated their attention to detail and especially their approachability and willingness to address our concerns. It's almost time to call them back to do the remaining cement work because the City has replaced the sidewalks!
