Straight Up Masonry

Tony is easy going, affordable and hard working. He did a great job for us fixing the stack in our newly renovated kitchen. We were concerned about the amount of mess this job would create. Not only did Tony do a great job containing the dust he did an excellent job of cleaning up afterwards.

He got to our job quickly, was easy to talk to, considerate, honest and most importantly the job looks great. We are very pleased.

TONY = Integrity, Intelligent and Honesty for his work!!!!!

Property is located in East York, Ontario (Victor from Boston MASS, USA).

Chimney Rebuild / Pillar Rebuild / Miscellaneous Masonry Work.

I own a house in Toronto and when I needed to do some work on it Tony’s (Straight Up Masonry) estimate was the most justifiable out of many contractors. He also had a thorough knowledge of the work. Tony was very up front regarding the date of start and finish. Everything he said was done accordingly. The work was performed without me present on the property which was a plus for me. We only communicated via phone and email. The verification of work was performed by my brother and a realtor; they said “the workman ship of Tony was “superb”. I will be recommending him (Straight Up Masonry) to all.

I don't really have anything to add that the other reviews did not already say. Tony was honest, better than competitive in price, a true craftsman. He came when he said he would, did the work he said he would, and did it better than we had hoped. His bricking matched our house exceptionally well despite being told by two other masons that our style of brick could no longer be matched.

You don't get this kind of work much these days; a throwback to when it was a craft that men took pride in. I am going to call him again to look at our chimney.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tony came to my house and provided a comprehensive description of the work required (no misunderstanding) and a resultant quote that he stood by. The work was carried out in a very professional manner and the end result was exceptional. The whole experience was very edifying and I would recommend Tony (Straight Up Masonry) to any of my friends and business accquaintances.
