Chimney re-build and tuckpointing
There's a reason why this company has so many favourable reviews. They really do live by their motto, delivering what they promise, and then some. I live in a semi: my neighbour and I needed to have our 40+ year old chimney rebuilt and some tuckpointing completed on the exterior walls. We agreed to A&A after finding them via Homestars.
A&A Masonry has been a pleasure to work with - right from the initial estimate with Pierre, to having the guys (Joe and James) on-site performing the repair, to dealing with Andy for the contract and payment. Pierre has always been reachable and responsive - I haven't even had to use his voicemail - the guy seems to pick up his phone any time of the day.
Joe and James are a fantastic crew. These guys are true professionals: knowledgeable and excellent at their trade, thorough in their work, communicate well, courteous to the neighbours. After tearing down the chimney to the roofline, they found 8 courses below the roof that needed replacing. Not something we expected, but they took and sent us pictures to show us the problem. They picked out a nice, solid red clay brick to match the house and built separate chambers for our chimney flues (which were not done on the previous repair). The cleaned the roof after the rebuild, and tarped up the chimney every night until the flashing was fastened and sealed. They wire-brushed a terrible DIY repair job on the side wall done with cement by the previous owner, and did a proper job tuckpointing and repairing the window sills around the house.
A great experience overall - I would recommend these guys for any future work. In fact, I recommended them to my in-laws who just signed a contract w/ them.

Thanks Peter! And thanks for feeding Joe & James lunch every day! The men really enjoyed working on this job. --Andy
