Otto's Masonry

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.
