Chimney tuck pointing - very narrow alley

Owning a 100+ year-old home, I share a very narrow alley with my neighbours.

This alley facilitates (very limited/narrow) access to a 2-story brick chimney which required tuck pointing (i.e. replacing mortar between bricks) due to lont-term water/weathernig damage).

Otto visited and inspected the chimney and supplied a very reasonable and accurate estimate.

The work was scheduled rapidly and two workers were sent to complete the job...in a single working day.

Upon completing the work, the workers cleaned the work-site and I was invoice promptly.

5-star service all around.

Thanx guys :)

Brick Repair

I had some damaged bricks on the side of my house. I found Otto through homestars and he lived up to his reviews. He came by on a weekend to look at the work and sent me a quote the next day. The new bricks match the existing bricks very well and the repair blends right in. I am very happy with the finished product.

basement repair

Otto's team removed a leaking basement window and closed in the space. This was a small job but it was given full attention. When an unepected event occurred with one of the products used, the team went the extra mile to a deliver a quality result. The entire job was done on time and at a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend this company. Thank you Otto for a job well done!

Tuckpointing, brick replacement, repairs

Otto's estimate was reasonable and he took the time to explain what was (and was not) needed. The work was professional, done on time and on budget. I am very pleased with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Otto's Masonry. I will definitely use Otto's Masonry again.

Refurbish Front Steps and damaged Masonry on House

We found Otto's Masonry on Homestars in September 2008 - we were looking for a contractor to refurbish the front steps of our 1950's bungalow. While other contractors would over-scope the project and propose major reno work, Otto was a breath of fresh air. He gave us a fair estimate and was able make the changes necessary, re-building our front steps and replacing badly damaged brick on the front facade.
We were willing to wait until this April to have Otto do the job. I highly recommend Otto's Masonry! He finished the job on-time and on-budget!

Front steps

Otto and his crew just completed our front steps in a "Halton" sand stone. We now have a front entrance to be proud of thanks to his skilled workers. This was a joint project with a neighbour and we found Otto very easy to deal with, reliable, and knowledgeable. He was on site daily and kept us informed at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
