My husband and I had a flood 2 months back and through the course of the restoration work, a literal hole in the wall (the size of a human!) was discovered in the back foundation wall (part of an extension). We had a structural engineer confirm it was non-structural so a basic rebuild was required. We called several GTA masons and contractors, some of whom came and didn’t quote, others gave exorbitant quotes, and a few provided good pricing but their timelines were unreasonable (2-3 week wait times). Otto’s Masonry came recommended by a neighbour and we looked the company up on Homestars. Otto made the initial site visit on a Friday, provided a fair quote the Saturday and started the demo by the Monday. End of Tuesday, the work was completed. We did have some minor questions/concerns--after we had paid in full--and they were handled with both expediency and courtesy early the next morning--the mark of a professional tradesman and crew. Thanks kindly, Otto and company. We’d like to as well commend Otto’s crew, particularly James and Jordan, who started the workday early, worked steadily, and were hard working, conscientious and courteous all round. Tony, Otto’s assistant, was also very pleasant and professional in our dealings. We would recommend Otto’s Masonry to others.

Company Response:

Thank you very much Nina. James and Jordan joined our company this year and are getting stellar results. Otto, the owner of our company, is a trained mason (decades of experience) so when he takes a look at something, he's drawing on a lot of knowledge. Thanks for mentioning me too! Sincerely, Tony

We wanted to have an ancient chimney removed from our house from outside the roof, right down through the attic, 2 floors and the basement. Because the chimney was holding split joists, they needed to be supported by steel posts. Drywall had to be cut out on all floors. Otto analyzed the situation, gave us advice and quickly had his crew - all very polite and friendly - quickly remove the chimney with minimal impact to the rest f the house. Every estimate is in writing, receipts provided immediately and work done fast, professionally, as promised. Clean-up was perfect. Otto is always available by phone and will site visit any time needed. HIGHLY recommended!

We chose Otto's based on the reviews from Homestars and we are so happy we did! Otto was very professional. knowledgeable, and gave us a very fair price. You will not be disappointed with their professionalism and workmanship. Thank you Eckhardt for your hard work, especially in this heat!!!

Company Response:

Dear Maria, Thank you very much for your kind review. We will definitely pass on your compliments to Eckhard. He is a hard worker. Thanks, Tony

I needed someone to reinforce the mortar and bricks on the chimney of our older home. Based on reviews on Homestars I sought a quote from Otto's Masonry. The quote was fair and given that it was a smaller job they said they'd be able to get to it within a couple of weeks but instead I came home 2 days later to find that the work was completed. Easy to deal with and great work. Wholeheartedly will recommend.

Company Response:

Dear Kevin, I am glad we serviced you well and thanks for the review! Sincerely, Tony

Otto and his team worked steadily and efficiently to replace our ancient crumbling porch with an awesome structure with stone facing and brick pillars. The contractor who installed our railings was very impressed with his workmanship as are many of our neighbours. Also in the scope of work was the regrading of the front lawn which previously contained a huge hump that made mowing problematic. The whole team was very polite and personable and patiently explained what was accomplished each day and what next steps were. We appreciated their attention to detail and especially their approachability and willingness to address our concerns. It's almost time to call them back to do the remaining cement work because the City has replaced the sidewalks!

Company Response:

Dear Barbara, Thank you for your compliments. We've seen the additional renovations around your newporch (i.e. the new roof). It all looks great. Thanks, Tony

The workers with Otto's Masonry and Otto himself were always on time and stayed until the work was done. Polite and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend the company to anyone. An absolute joy to have them do the job. And it looks fabulous.

Company Response:

Dear Kathleen, Thank you for your great review. We are very happy that you like the final product. Sincerely, Tony

Excellent workmanship, reliable, and affordable. It was a pleasure dealing with Otto and his team members. They were easy to communicate with and you could tell they were passionate about doing a great job and making sure we were happy. Thanks so much, Jamie and Lisa

Company Response:

Dear Jamie, Thanks for the great review. Your job was a little challenging but we enjoyed working on it. Sincerely, Tony

Otto's Masonry did a fine job on tuckpointing work for our home. The quote was thorough and the work was done on time and on budget. I would recommend them for work of this nature in the future.

We were very worried about this important project; Otto and his team were great at answering all our questions, includine providing references and insurance riders etc. The job took exactly as long as they said it would and the building inspector was particularly impressed with their professionalism - so were we!
