Straight Up Masonry

I found Straight Up Masonry on HomeStars and reached out to them about our front steps. The mortar had cracked, and the steps were "floating". From initial appraisal to work completion, I could not be more pleased. The assessment and work was done while I was at work. In fact, I never met the team, but the finished product speaks for itself. What was once an eyesore and safety issue is now a beautiful front steps again. Many thanks as the whole process could not have been easier.

I can not express enough how fantastic is was working with Straight Up Masonry. They were professional every step of the way. From Crystal to Tony and all the guys it was a great experience.

We had a large job. The siding on our Victoria house was removed to expose the original brick. Then the brick was repaired and replaced in certain areas. The results were beyond our expectations

Each step was explained to us in detail to ensure we fully understood the process. There was a situation where a significant section of our bricks were unstable and dangerous. Tony and team alerted us immediately and walked through the steps needed to correct it and they did so it a timely fashion.

We also had our front walkway redone in concrete and it looks amazing.

I would recommend Straight Up Masonry to anyone, they are super friendly, polite, professional and all round good people

If I could accord an 11 out of 10 tasting I would. Tony and Crystal were super to deal with. Amazingly patient with this old householder Cost was reasonable, work done professionally and on time. Absolutely trustworthy. Very much recommended.

Both pillars on my front porch needed replacing as they had been built incorrectly and without adequate footings. STM had been recommended to me by several people and their quote was very competitive. The communication was excellent in the build up and they explained all the work to be done. The work was completed in 3 days and the the guys who did the work were very professional, hard working and left the site clean and tidy each day. The job came in on budget and completed pillars looks absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend these guys enough; they are excellent.

Delightful experience from the introduction to the workmanship and professionalism of this company. They succeeded in meeting our high expectations. My best advice is hire them now, Straight Up is the best!

We hired Straight Up Masonry on the recommendation of a friend. The quote was for 1 to 1.5 days and all deep pockets of mortar to be blown and repaired. They came Friday for 4 hours and left. There are still various deep pockets left that were never touched, and parts of the job were sloppy.

This is my fathers house, who is 86 and I feel he was completely taken advantage of. When he called to discuss the job that ended up being $400/hour - he was berated and yelled at. I don't know who thinks they can treat people like this - user beware.

A couple of years we noticed that the pillar on our front porch was beginning to crumble at the base. We had various companies come out and provide their professional opinion of what needed to be done. Tony from Straight Up Masonry was prompt to respond to my job request, looked at the pillar and gave me to options and advice for how to proceed. The cost estimate was very fair!
Now the job is done and we couldn't be happier with the quality of work and the positive experience of working with this company! From beginning to end they (Tony and his wife Crystal, Mitch, Declan, Damien and the team) were reliable, professional, responsive and accommodating!
The bottom line is this....they showed up and they did what they said they were going to at the time and price they said they were going to do it!!! I'm so glad I found them on Homestars and highly recommend them to you now. Best wishes, Jennifer

I got quotes from 3 different masons and right away Straight Up stood out from the crowd. The quote was reasonable and Tony struck me as someone I could trust. The crew were courteous, respectful, prompt and communicated very well. They did a great job! I have a 100 year old house and was surprised how well they problem solved. I recommend Straight Up and will have them back.

We had Straight Up Masonry remove an old brick window sill and replace it with a limestone slab, as well as do some tuckpointing on our older Toronto semi. From initial contact to the post-work follow-up, the entire team were a pleasure to deal with. Fair price (lowest of three quotes we received), excellent communication from Tony and Crystal throughout the process, the crew were personable, professional and incredibly neat, and we were very happy with the results. Can't really ask for anything more.
We will not hesitate to use Straight Up for any future projects that may arise.

Straight Up Masonry was a pleasure to work with. Unlike 99% of contractors, they kept us in the loop at every step. We knew when they'd arrive (and they did) the time and what work was going to be done that day. They were the most courteous workers we've ever used, and we just finished a major 18-month entire house reno with lots of trades involved. The guys cleaned up after their work and at the end walked us through everything they had done. We recommend them without any hesitation!
