Match the brick and fix the wall!

For about a year we had a scarred up section of a house where a rotted out external retaining wall had to be removed. To make matters worse, the cinder block replacement looked terrible.

Enter Brian, whom we found on Homestars. He made several excellent recommendations, replaced the damaged bricks with almost an exact match and addressed the retaining wall issue by veneering in slate. It looks GREAT and passed Brian's just try and pull that slate off test.

Thanks Brian!

Brilliant Job

Brian immediately diagnosed the problem as an old collapsing liner and not just blockage in the chimney, so saved us money in the long run not doing work that would not have solved the cause of the problem. He pulled out the old liner, which was essentially disintegrating, inserted a new liner and insulation to prevent any vibrations, put on the new cap, and fully caulked the top, and recemented the hole in the furnace room, from having to chip out the old cement to enable the removal of the old liner and blockage. FYI, Brian told us aluminum liners for gas furnaces have a useful life of 10 years or so (ours was 20+) and should be replaced to avoid long-term problems.

Chimney Cleaning

Brian did an excellent job cleaning the chimney and doing cement repairs and general clean-up of the area around my 94 yr old Mom's old oil furnace at her home in East York. He was very kind and patient with my Mom who shared her life story and did extra work to help her out. Would highly recommend him.

chimney rebuilds/masonry

Brian's Masonry was prompt with a quote and found the time to do the work in a timely manner. Brian attends to his chimney and masonry work with artistic integrity, skill, and professionalism. He and his staff worked diligently to get the work completed in the hot Toronto summer weather (summer 2022). They kept the work site clean and tidy, and their work is something they can be proud of. Thank you Brian and staff!

Chimney rebuild

Called Brian for a chimney rebuild.
Brian delivers phenomenal work. Quote was accurate and fast. Brian gave me a date for project and a break down of what will be done, and he delivered! Brian is a professional who provides an amazing service along with top of the line work and is also clean. He takes alot of pride in his work and gives the best customer service possible. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have chimney and masonry work done. My chimney hasn't looked this great in a long time.

Basement entrance and window bricks fixing

I had to hire Brians services after my below grade entrance contractor made a hash on the brick work around the basement entrance and egress windows. I contacted Brian to help me rework and make the brick work acceptable and also to prevent leaks in future. Brian sent me a professional quote detailing the scope of his work and cost. Brian was punctual and very detail oriented. He and his crew finished the job very well to our satisfaction and cleaned the job site very well. At the end I requested but more change to the work which meant that Brian had to remove 2 rows of bricks already laid. Brian was very understanding my concern and re-did the work to make sure I am satisfied. Thats what I call excellent customer service will definitely use Brian for future masonry work and also recommend to my friends. Good work Brian, keep it up

Replace chimney and window ledge

I am very happy with the work done by this company. They did a great job and the clean up was super. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking into masonry work. Brian kept me inform on each step he was doing as well as making recommendations to my benefit. Both Brian and his co-worker are extremely nice guys. They stuck within the time frame they said the job would take and worked only on my project and didn't jump to other jobs. Awesome guys - thanks for your work!!!
