Shane was recommended by Joe Dunphy at Downtown roofing (another excellent company) when I contacted Joe about replacing some shingles and looking at our chimney, which I knew from our initial home inspection had some "loose bricks". I had previously received quotes for both jobs that seemed ridiculous (~$2600 for the chimney) from a large Toronto roofing company with a reputation for being expensive (and whom I later realized got terrible reviews on Homestars).
Dealing with Shane was great. His quote was reasonable (~$600). He took down and ground out 6 courses of loose bricks from our chimney that had been very strangely and badly built at some point. He rebuilt the courses and added a preformed concrete cap. He sent me before and after pictures, and his work looks great. I never actually met him in person since he did all of his work while I was at work. He made arranging everything easy.
What started out as a painful process of not getting companies to call back and getting an unreasonable quote from one, ended up well when I got in contact with Shane. I highly recommend his company and will contact him if/when I need any masonry work done.
