True North Masonry

Shane from True North Masonry treated our home as he would his own. He was one of the most straight up honest contractors we've ever had the pleasure of hiring. We asked him to take a look at the condition of the bricks on our century home, and he was very open about what could use some work, what was perfectly fine, and what we could do ourselves. One afternoon and a ridiculously fair price later, and our confidence in our home's integrity is restored. He did a fantastic job pointing and parging a few spots that needed it, and left our property cleaner than it was before he came. Absolutely would hire again and will recommend to everyone we know.

Mortar was crumbling and breaking off between the tiers of stonework at the bottom of the wall of our house, due to a combination of salt, moisture and age.

Shane checked all the mortar to see what was sound and could remain as is and what required removal. He then repointed all the areas that were broken off or crumbled, plus filled some openings between our front steps and the house.

The quote was very reasonable, the work was quick and efficient and everything was swept clean. The stonework looks great and we are very pleased with Shane's response to our needs.

The team at True North Masonry expertly restored my flagstone pad, left the work area cleaner than before they arrived and could not be more friendly. Would highly recommend this company!

Shane built 2 walls using original 1920s yellow brick and tinted mortar to match my existing home and he also removed and replaced damaged bricks at the bottom of a pillar free of charge.

Shane demonstrated extensive knowledge of his craft including different styles of masonry and mortar application, and he specializes in restoration masonry and is equally at home in modern masonry construction and flagstone work.

He has an agreeable demeanour and even relocated his work space to accommodate a neighbour at his own initiative.

He charges reasonable rates and the care and quality of his work is evident in the finished product. Even better, apart from my beautiful new walls, I cannot tell that any work was done on my property because he cleaned up so beautifully before leaving.

I would not hesitate to recommend him for any masonry work and I will certainly employ his services again in the future should the opportunity arise.

I went searching HomeStars for someone to come and fix a few issues I was having on my home with bricks crumbling from water damage on my front pillar and a large pillar the city installed on my backyard fence line. After receiving 4 quotes I decided to go with Shane and True North Masonry, I spoke to Shane on the phone and told him that I was just looking for different options and that I really didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on this project. Shane came up with the perfect solution and I am glad I listened to Shane, the work he completed looks great and just what I was looking for. Shane made sure the areas he was working in were exactly how they were when he arrived and left my place spotless.

I have known Shane and the True North crew for 6 years now and I have used them on many of our renovations. This project included several new window openings, window enlargements, and closing windows. Shane did a terrific job as always to complete the masonary work as promised. I highly recommend Shane and the True North crew!

I had some spalling bricks on my house from water/ice damage that Shane came in and repaired. He was on time, quote was very fair and left everything super clean. Would highly recommend True North Masonry and wouldn't hesitate to hire this company again.
