Owning a 100+ year-old home, I share a very narrow alley with my neighbours. This alley facilitates (very limited/narrow) access to a 2-story brick chimney which required tuck pointing (i.e. replacing mortar between bricks) due to lont-term water/weathernig damage). Otto visited and inspected the chimney and supplied a very reasonable and accurate estimate. The work was scheduled rapidly and two workers were sent to complete the job...in a single working day. Upon completing the work, the workers cleaned the work-site and I was invoice promptly. 5-star service all around. Thanx guys :)

I had some damaged bricks on the side of my house. I found Otto through homestars and he lived up to his reviews. He came by on a weekend to look at the work and sent me a quote the next day. The new bricks match the existing bricks very well and the repair blends right in. I am very happy with the finished product.

Based on reviews I had read on this site, I contacted Otto to do some brick repairs and am very pleased with the quality of work and the fact that it was done at a very reasonable price. I was truly impressed with the professionalism, the overall focus on excellence and the attention to detail. I would definitely recommend him highly! MKC

Otto's team removed a leaking basement window and closed in the space. This was a small job but it was given full attention. When an unepected event occurred with one of the products used, the team went the extra mile to a deliver a quality result. The entire job was done on time and at a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend this company. Thank you Otto for a job well done!

Otto's estimate was reasonable and he took the time to explain what was (and was not) needed. The work was professional, done on time and on budget. I am very pleased with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Otto's Masonry. I will definitely use Otto's Masonry again.

We found Otto's Masonry on Homestars in September 2008 - we were looking for a contractor to refurbish the front steps of our 1950's bungalow. While other contractors would over-scope the project and propose major reno work, Otto was a breath of fresh air. He gave us a fair estimate and was able make the changes necessary, re-building our front steps and replacing badly damaged brick on the front facade. We were willing to wait until this April to have Otto do the job. I highly recommend Otto's Masonry! He finished the job on-time and on-budget!

Otto and his crew just completed our front steps in a "Halton" sand stone. We now have a front entrance to be proud of thanks to his skilled workers. This was a joint project with a neighbour and we found Otto very easy to deal with, reliable, and knowledgeable. He was on site daily and kept us informed at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Otto has done a lot of work in and around my house from lifting a garage and pouring a concrete base to parging to pouring a new walkway between my house and my neighbours. He always is on time and does a great job for a fair price. He even comes back from time to time to check how his work is holding up after weathering. If there are problems that you might not even notice, he notices and fixes them. We are about to engage him in a major basement dig.

What could this company do to improve their services?
I cant see how it could get any better.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Otto has experience with all kinds of tricky situations in Toronto's older homes. Trust that he knows what he is doing.
