masonry repair

We needed repairs to a third storey chimney and parapet wall. The access area was very narrow and challenging. Otto’s workmen were very capable and professional. The work was completed within the agreed upon time frame at a fair price. I would recommend them.

Waterproofing front steps

Otto and his crew came to waterproof the front steps of our home about 10 months ago. Unfortunately we didn't notice until recently that the water was still making its way in.

We reached out to Otto to see how we could resolve the issue. Otto promptly had his crew come back, lift another step with stone to out blueskin down to provide a lasting solution.

Thank you Otto for your service. Highly recommend this company for any job!

Stone front steps installed

Otto's was prompt, efficient, answered all my questions, the crew was excellent, careful, neat. The stone steps changed the look of our old East York semi, it now looks modern. The neighbours like it as much as we do.
Bonus, the price was best of ones I checked. We are very happy with it.

Courtyard Wall

Our wall consisted of 4 posts with railings and a solid brick wall between 2 of the posts. The brick had deteriorated due to water damage and we replaced everything. Jessie and Jessie did the work in the last heatwave of the summer. They were great to work with and did a great job. The office staff at Otto's were also super responsive and maintained outstanding communication. We were very satisfied with the final outcome.

Retaining Wall Repair

Our front brick retaining wall was destroyed during a car accident, and Otto’s Masonry repaired it very quickly and efficiently. They were the only company who responded to our request for an estimate and actually came by our home and provided it in less than 48hours. The Masonry Workers were very friendly and did an amazing job! We are so happy with the work that was done, and feel that the wall looks better now than it did before the accident. Thank you!

Great work and great relationship management

We are very happy with our new retaining wall, steps and walkway. John and the team at Otto's Masonry are top notch. They were so easy to deal with. We were kept informed of timing from the outset and we stuck to the budget. I would hire them again in a second.

2 large and 2 small window ledge replacement

Had to replace the original brick widow ledges which were cracked and or falling apart. Had Otto's Masonry replace them which was done greatly to our satisfaction. Very efficient and the cleanup after was amazing to say the least. Workmanship was amazing to say the least and would recommend them highly.

brick retainingwall on beautiful street;

We have used Otto's Masonry at least three times or more and enthusiastically recommend them to others. About 10 years ago they and I made a great design, both aesthetically and structurally for a special brick retainingwall on Roxborough. We received many compliments on it including from a structural engineer. With bad luck it got damaged recently so I called and they practically "broke a leg" to repair it quickly and right up to their standards. Sure, they've done other things -- new 3rd storey chimney, unique chimney caps -- and most likely will do more.

Masonry work on historic home

Otto’s provided excellent service & amazing workmanship on the repairs on my Victorian home. They replaced bricks that were deteriorating on both the facade & the brick column of my front staircase. They were able to colour match the brick almost seamlessly & finished the extensive repairs within a day, even when more work needed to be done than anticipated. The pricing was reasonable and it was obvious that Mario and his assistant were expert masons with years of experience. Would definitely use Otto’s again in the future!
