Building a new chimney

I needed a new chimney as ours was starting to fall apart. I also needed the job done ASAP. Tony and his lads came through 100%. They started when they said they would, always showed up on time, did a great job explaining what they were doing, finished when they said they would and did a great job of cleaning up. I would DEFINITYELY recommend this company to anybody who is looking for a quality job at a reasonable rate. Thanks again, Tony and Company I will definitely keep their number on file for future jobs

rebuild chimney

Our chimney was degraded and falling apart, the previous work done on it were just patch jobs. The chimney was really just reducing to dust. The necessary work was obviously very difficult, but Straight Up took care of it with skill and excellent craftmanship. Overall very professional and pleasant to deal with.

Thanks Rob, This was one of the most difficult chimneys we had to do so far, the removal alone cost me a few nights sleep, but it was worth it when the end result was presented to you and your wife and when we received the great review.

Chimney Rebuild

I had to have my chimney replaced as it was starting to crumble. I found Straight up Masonry on the Home stars site and after reading the reviews from other clients gave Tony a call. Tony came out and explained the work that needed to be done and arrangements were made for the work to be done. Tony’s crew were nothing but professional. They took the time to explain what they were doing. A sign to me that they are pros and are very proud of there work. I have no problem recommending Straight Up Masonry for any brick work you need around your homes.
Thanks guys for a job well done

Chimney Removal

I was impressed with this company’s honesty and work. This is my first renovation and we need to remove our chimney to give us some extra space in our second floor bathroom. My wife and I meet Tony and I told him that we want to remove our chimney starting from the basement to the roof. He explained the work that is required to complete the job, and he told us that we don’t need to remove the whole chimney and they can just remove from the second floor and to roof. (which save us money; reinstalling drywall and painting our main floor dinning room).

The few days before the job was scheduled, Tony visited my house and discovered that he could not properly remove the chimney, because there were pines going in to the chimney (we don’t know what is it for). He told me that they can remove the chimney, but they don’t know if the pipe is for venting or some kind of exhaust and how is this going to affect my attic.(My bathroom reno was not schedule for another week. SoI have my contractor fix the problem). I like his honest, I think any other contractor will just remove my chimney without checking any possibility of problem with the structure or damages that can happened.

Tony also coordinate they roofer to fix the roof after they remove the chimney. The whole removal was fast and painless.

Replacing Our Fire Box in the Chimney

Tony and his colleague from Straight Up Masonry replaced the firebox in our chimney which was clearly in need of repair. I receive their quote which was well below others we had received. They completed the work within days and for a very messy job, they were careful and professional. The job took more than 8 hours and they worked all the way through. This is a professional organization, with follow up to ensure that everything was working. I would not hesitate recommending this company. They were stars!

Chimney repair

I would like to recommend Anthony Devlin Masonry. Anthony was very helpful when it came to working on our chimney. Infact since do not use it, we had Anthony take it down. the work was done quickly, efficiently and there was absolutely NO mess. Anthony was also very helpful and quick to respond to any calls or e-mails i had sent him prior to the work. I would highly recommend his services.
