Repair damaged, disintegrated bricks

Tony and Dan did a great job. When they arrived they jumped into action, worked diligently and professionally. Tony was able to find bricks to match the old ones attached to the house. I am very pleased with the work and would recommend them.

Masonry block pointing

Thank you Straight-Up Masonry for the excellent work to repoint the front of house block wall. It now looks rejuvenated. The work was masterfully done exactly as you scheduled and as quoted. Care was taken to protect the area. No mess. It was left clean as before you started.
Glad to highly recommend you as a quality masonry company.

Straight Up Masonry Goes the Extra Mile

Tony at Straight Up Masonry went the extra mile for us in repairing our chimney. He did a proper repair by putting a cap on top of the chimney rather than just adding new mortar to the crown. This involved more work, but Tony wanted to do the job properly. We are very happy with the work he did. I would highly recommend Straight Up Masonry because Tony has considerable experience in masonry.

Insert concrete sill and reinforce and repoint brickwork in damaged areas

We have a brick home, over 100 years old, and areas of the brick had deteriorated over time, including one area over a window that had partially collapsed. We also had another window with a wooden sill that would not have lasted another year. Straight Up Masonry replaced the wooden sill with a concrete sill, inserted a metal rod between the brick in the collapsed area for support and patched up the brickwork to match the old bricks around it. Completed the job in half a day, left the area clean, extremely friendly and helpful, and even found a siding repair person for us for another area of our house that needed work. Strongly recommend, and we will be using them again in the future

Masonry repairs

Tony promptly responded to my inquiry and came over and provided a quote the same day, and we booked a time to complete the repairs. The repairs were completed quickly and I am very happy with the end result. Tony was also very diligent in cleaning up before he left. I have had a few repairs completed by Straight Up Masonry and highly recommend them for all masonry work.

Chimney rebuild

From fitting in our chimney rebuild job before it was actually scheduled, to taking quick action after asbestos was discovered, to picking the job up the day after remediation: Straight Up Masonry were fantastic. They did the job quickly and efficiently, with a minimum of disruption. Highly recommended!

Chimney rebuild

Tony and his team came to the rescue of my aging chimney. Brick and cement bits had been falling from above our deck. They were able to match the existing brick so closely that you would think it was original to the house.
Great work!!

Need tuck-pointing? Go with Straight Up Masonry!

Both my son and I liked and trusted Tony immediately. He's smart, friendly, and his business ethic fits his business name. Unlike so many in the construction business, Tony and his crew showed up on the date agreed upon and was on time. More significant is that they did a beautiful job. We recommend him without reservation.

Organized, Skilled, Conscientious, Reliable

We had a 130-year old chimney that had not been in use for over 20 years, and it was in need of removal. Tony and his two assistants were fabulous! This job turned out to be trickier than expected, because of the poor condition of the bricks and mortar. They arrived on time at 7:30 am, efficiently set up scaffolding at the demolition site, then began work. The task at hand was carried out expertly, and the clean up was perfect. The entire project was completed, including cleaned up, by 1:00 pm. We were impressed! This was our first experience with Straight Up Masonry, but we would call upon them first for any future masonry needs.

Hi DCW,
Thank you for the great review. The chimney removal couldn't have happened at a better time, it was very unstable and probably wouldn't have stayed standing another winter.
With a little planning, it came down in a controlled manner.
We really appreciate the business.
