Partial Chimney Rebuild & Tucking

I hired Straight Up Masonry to remove and replace the chimney cap, to rebuild the top 2 rows of the chimney and complete some pointing around my home.

Revising my original rating of 8 down to 6 as subsequent to the work Straight Up Masonry completed I had the eavestroughs on my home cleaned out. About ten pounds of debris from the chimney rebuild was discovered. I brought this to the company’s attention. Received an apology.

I have other masonry work completed since but because of the masonry debris issue decided to have this additional work completed by a different masonry completed.

Brick and parging repair and regrading patio

Tony and his crew were so respectful and tidy while doing work at our house. We had our patio regraded away from the house and they repaired some spalling bricks and parging. Tony visited our house in the winter and quoted for worst case scenario, when the work was completed in the spring (once the weather permitted) we were fortunate to discover we did not need all of the work he quoted for so our final bill came in under estimate! I would highly recommend using Straight Up Masonry, they were on-time, courteous, meticulous and just all around awesome.

Brick pillar rebuild

I had one of my front porch brick pillars rebuilt as it was starting to lean.
I had several quotes around the same price point but Straight Up Masonry had better reviews. Once I accepted the quote we worked out a schedule on when the work could start. Great job, good cleanup and communication, the price was fair. No complaints!

Redo of the front of our house!

We brought in Tony from Straight Up Masonry to reface the front of our house in a brick veneer and, after speaking with him, hired him to co-ordinate the entire job! He brought in Brahm from Warmcrete and together they took care of fixing the next-to-non-existent structure in the front, getting the front spray insulated then installing vapour barrier and our new bay windows. Then his team refaced our house, taking care not to hurt our garden. The result is gorgeous! Every step of the way, Tony and his team have kept in communication with us - even with weather delays, we never worried about whether we'd been forgotten. I highly recommend Straight Up Masonry to get the job done!

Masonry

Straight up showed up, gave me a quote. A week later I approved it and they showed up with a full crew and finished my job in a day. They closed in an old doorway and matched the brick perfectly. Their price was great. I would highly recommend.

Chimney Re-build, Tuck-pointing, window ledge re-pair & replacement

Tony and his crew were great to work with. They gave us a quote in 2016, we ended up not doing the work, but we contacted them in the spring of 2017 and he honored the quote he gave me the year before. Not many companies would have done that. The work was done quickly and the workmanship was outstanding. They left the job cleaner than when they found it. great job overall.

Thanks Dave for the review.
Not much changed with the original scope of work, so we saw no reason to increase the cost. Couldn't ask for better clients.

Replacement of concrete pad

The concrete pad in front of the main entrance to the house had become unlevel over the course of years, and was sloped toward the house. It needed to be replaced. Straight Up Masonry had done excellent work on a chimney rebuild, so I hired them for this work. They came at the agreed time, removed the old pad (8' x 5'), and poured a new one, which is level and looks great !

Indoor masonry work

Tony came and gave us an estimate to pour a new bench footing, and close up an old window as a part of our basement renovation.
He was able to start work a couple days later, his guys were on time and got the work done quickly. The results look good and Tony was very prompt about responding to emails and calls. He even coordinated with our framer to make sure the footing was to the necessary specifications for the walls.
Overall, we are very pleased with the work done.
