    Leaky front porch - Blue-skin membrane works well!!

    During heavy rain, the front porch of our 70 year old house would allow water to pour into our furnace room beneath. We sought a permanent fix that didn't involve having a complete overhaul/rebuild of the front porch and the cost that involves. Otto's Masonry sent Brian Knowles out to scope out the job and provide an estimate. The suggested fix was to have a "blue-skin" membrane installed over the porch slab, something we were not familiar with. The estimate was provided in Aug 2016 but we didn't have the work completed until the spring of 2017. The original estimate was honoured. The job was a little tricky as it involved removing the existing flagstone in order to apply the blue-skin membrane on the slab and then resetting the flagstone, like a jigsaw puzzle. Conroy and his son did the work and were great; prompt, hardworking and courteous. Conroy and Jr. were able to effectively problem-solve when other minor issues arose, the pride taken in their work is evident. Most importantly, the blue-skin fix worked beautifully!! The work was completed in early spring 2017, just before the significantly wet spring/summer that we had.....and our furnace room remained dry. I wouldn't hesitate to use Otto's Masonry again; they are reasonably priced, complete the work they promise to do efficiently & competently, answer the phone/respond to emails promptly and in general left a very positive impression from start to finish.

    Flagstones installed well by reliable craftsmen

    We hired Otto to install flagstones on our patio steps and landing as well as repair sunken interlock. Despite inclement weather Otto's team worked through the cold and snow to get the work done on time. His crew are reliable, professional craftsmen who showed up on time, did a great job and cleaned up after every shift. Otto checked the work and asked us for our feedback along the way. The work was well done, done on time despite the weather. I would not hesitate to recommend Otto and his team of craftsmen.

    Tuckpointing and front concrete stair renewal

    Hired Otto's team to do tuckpointing on front and back of our 57 year old brick house as well as repair and apply concrete renewel to a crumbling concrete step. Brian worked meticulously to do tuckpointing over a few days and despite missing a few hard spots, Otto was quick to come check the work and agreed that the work needed to be finished properly. They didn't hound us to get paid until we were completely satisfied. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any future masonry work and recommend them to others.

    New front walkway, parging, opening basement wall for patio door to garden, blocking up old basement door

    I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Otto's Masonary. From start to finish Otto and his crew worked at the highest skill level, did everything they said they would do on time, and took utmost care when opening up the wall in our basement for a patio door. The people and the work they do are excellent in every respect and I couldn't be happier with the results.

    Concrete stairs

    Very very happy with Otto and his workers. Worked around our schedule due to offices needing to be open at certain time. Did everything we asked plus more. Went the extra mile to build a ramp so our tenants could get in and out, and no extra charge. Would definitely recommend Otto. Very happy, would definitely recommend or use them again.

    Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you.

    Exterior Parging and tuck pointing

    We called Otto Masonry on the recommendation of another contractor we know. Otto Masonry was neat, organized, on time, and efficient. The property was left in tidy condition and their work seems thorough.
