    Bricking of Garage/Shed

    I contacted Tony through homestars for advice on a garage/shed that did not have a solid foundation. I wanted to have the one exposed side of it refinished with brick veneer or brick. After emailing Tony, he emailed me back quickly and made arrangements to come and see it. After spending quite some time with me explaining my best and worst options, I decided not to proceed because brick would likely not have been the best choice for this project. Notwithstanding, I cannot recommend Tony enough for the invaluable honesty and advice he gave me for this project. He was very professional and I was all around impressed. I would highly recommend him.

    Hi Lisa, Sorry we could not work together on this project, but thank you for the glowing review, hopefully we can work together on future jobs. Thanks Tony.

    redo concrete porch with limestone, repair crumbling concrete blocks

    Tony was responsive to questions, showed up on time and executed the job within the estimated time frame. There were a few unexpected issues with replacing some old damaged concrete block and he showed me what was involved and did not charge extra for the labour. The work area was cleaned up afterwards and both men worked steadily throughout the five days it took to complete the porch. They did a beautiful job.

    Outside masonary job

    Anthony Devlin did a fantastic job ! I HIGHLY recommend him! Although the job was small (filling in an old milk box with brick) Anthony returned our call promply and came to see the job and the day designated. The price was fair, the job he completed was exceptional and he cleaned up after he finished. Always courteous ! Always polite ! Very happy with the completed work. He is a professional !

    Chimney tuckpointing

    Tony arrived within hours of my call to take a look at the job and provided a written quote that was very competitive. A few days later, after receiving other quotes, I called Tony to confirm that I wanted to move forward. He had an opening that day and arrived a few hours later to complete the work. Not only did he do a great job on the chimney, but he also repaired my chimney cap at no extra charge. Tony was timely, efficient and did an excellent job with the clean up too. I will definitely recommend Straight Up Masonry to family and friends.

    Nick, was a pleasure, congrats on the new member to the family, Talk soon Tony.

    Add Lintel, brick & tooth doorway & tuck pointing

    Called 3 different companies. Everyone showed up but only Tony gave me a quote. Not sure why the other 2 companies didn't but I wasn't going to chase after them. We were very satisfied and pleased with Tony's work. Our house is almost 100 years old and Tony was able to match the brick and mortar. Would highly recommend Tony for any masonary work!

    Outside brick work on house

    I phoned a number of Masonry Contractors for an estimate to have a small job done on the outside of the house. Tony came right over and I had an faire estimate from him the next day. Tony came to do the job on the day we agreed on and had the job done to my liking. He was able to match the old brick and the house looks in great shape now. I will call Tony if I need any more work done and will recommend him to others who need masonry work.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Eve, Thanks for the kind review, As the daughter of a Mason, I hope your father would be proud of the work carried out. Thanks again Tony.
