Sills to be installed under Windows

Professionalism and trustworthy are the two best words to describe Anthony and his team. From the initial meeting to the final product he was informative, helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. No surprises, and he kept us upto date on exactly what/when the work was going to be completed. His price was very reasonable and work was exceptionally good. Thank-you Anthony and Straigh Up Masonry! for job well done. I have already recommended you to my contacts.

New window and door cutouts, and brick repair

Tony and Kevin did an amazing job on cutting out a number of new windows and doors at my house. During the back door cutouts, the bricks were crumbling and the back wall looked ready to literally fall down. Somehow, they managed to get the lintel in and prevented it from happening, and fixed a number of the cracks. This was great news for me, because based on experience, houses don't function very well with three walls.

I'm likely getting Tony back to build a new house for my parents, and also to help me with a bungalow top-up.

Well done.

Thanks Thano, it was definitely a close call and I am glad your house still has a south facing wall, cause the breeze from the lake would not have felt good during the christmas dinner, seriously, glad we could help carry out the work that just improved on your home.
Talk soon Tony.

Pillar Replacement

Tony was a pleasure to deal with. He got back to me quickly and came right out to provide an assessment and quote which he stood by. Our century home pillars which support the front porch overhang were beginning to lean leading us to believe that a foundation below the frost line was likely not in place, causing our problem. When Tony arrived to begin work (even earlier than scheduled) he got right to the bottom of it (pun intended) and laid a new foundation before replacing each brick pillar entirely. The new pillars are solid and superb and I'm sure will last another 100+ years. Tony provides solid, reliable work at a competitive price. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Straight-up Masonry.

replacing porch pillars

Tony Devlin is an artist with mortar and brick, who works efficiently and harmoniously with Kevin, his capable assistant. I am completely satisfied with the job they did replacing my crumbling pillars and will invite Straight Up Masonry back in the spring to do additional work on my house.

Replacing disintegrating brick ledge under large window

We have been watching the brick ledge disintegrate year by year. We decided to get it repaired and never thought it would look so good and so solid afterwards. The detail in the workmanship of replacing the brick and the appropriate caulking was a nice surprise.
Obviously Tony is a true craftsman in his trade.
I will be recommending him to family and friends.

What could this company do to improve their services?
I was very satisfied. It is nice to find someone who takes pride in his work.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Take a before picture so that you can see how well the repairs are done. I wish I had thought of that, now everyone only has the word of my husband and myself.

Rebuilt a chimney

Tony provided a written estimate for a rebuild of a chimney. He came on the day scheduled; his work was fast, of top quality, and with a complete clean-up afterward. I recommend Tony to anyone needing this type of work.

chimney rebuild; tuckpointing

Tony Devlin paid great attention to detail in rebuilding our chimney by matching the replacement brick as closely as possible to the existing structure. He described the process in detail when inspecting our property and educated us about the rebuild and tuckpointing. After completing the job Tony and his associate were meticulous in cleaning our property. Price was within range of other estimate solicited for this project. The craftsmanship and skill in communicating gave us confidence in this undertaking--a neat, lasting job that enhances the value of our home.

Front porch and landing

Tony was simply amazing. Showed up on time, reasonable pricing but most importantly, top-quality work. Our front porch has been transformed and looks remarkable. Tony also devised and custom-built a landing with stones matching the porch. We couldn't be happier with the results. If you need stone work, look no further. Save yourself time, money and trouble, just call Tony.
