Brian's Masonry

Brian and his aid did an excellent job in replacing badly spawling bricks. His estimate was competitive and the work done was certainly at a professional level I would certainly recommend him.

Brian and his team did an amazing job rebuilding and waterproofing the walls of our basement walkout. Water was getting in between the blocks and the bricks and Brian completely redid the bricks and put in gravel and cement in between to make sure it was good and solid before putting on water repellent. I think the house will fall down long before that stairwell! Highly recommend! Thanks for a job well done!

Great work and great TEAM. Brian is a true professional and very knowledgeable. Rebuild of the chimney, matched the brick, new SS rain cap and brick waterproofing. Start to finish - complete in one day.

We needed a chimney rebuild and Brian suggested removal of the chimney altogether. The problem was that our water heater vented thru the chimney. Brians suggested a water heater (rental) that vented to the house exterior and with the cost of rebuilding the chimney used instead to repair and improve the look of the chimney breast. It was a great solution and stone used to reface the chimney breast looks amazing. Brian and his crew are excellent masons who are tidy, super efficient and great problem solvers.

Excellent work for my chimney repair, Matched up the bricks perfectly and the new cap looks great too. Thanks Brian.

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!

Brian did an excellent job changing my windows sill with beautiful limestones very nice and clean . He was very professional in his job and would highly recommend him.

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.

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.

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!
