Masonry - tuck pointing and window well rebuild

I called Otto to do some tuckpointing on my 90 year old home, and to dig up and rebuild a below ground window well. They were able to complete the work earlier than expected and did a great job. Efficient, economical, clean - overall I was very impressed with the workmanship and care they put into the job.
Thanks David, Otto and Tony - I wouldn't hesitate to use your company again.

Repair crumbling masonry around basement window.

We recently had Otto's Masonry come fix an old crumbling window sill. The service person did an excellent job repairing the window, and cleaning up the area. They also re-caulked our walkway, and went well beyond the area that we had discussed. It was one of those little extras, that showed caring and an interest in doing a proper thorough job. Would recommended them.

Repaired our front porch flagstones

Otto and his crew worked meticulously to fix our flagstone porch that was originally put in by another contractor whose work was not so great. He is a very honest person and charges fairly. I would and have recommended him to many people.

Fireplace mantel

I needed to have my fireplace mantel replace in order to mount a TV above it. Otto understood exactly what I wanted ie stone low profile mantel. He made a limestone mantel that fit my room decor perfectly. What can I say? I am just so pleased with the results! I would highly recommend Otto's Masonry. They are a great team of professionals!

new sill

Installed a new concrete sill for a sliding door. Even though this was a small job, Otto called every day during the job to keep me in the loop. The finished product looks great!!

Rebuild of Exterior Stairs

Our front stairs were falling apart prematurely due to poor workmanship by another mansonry contractor. We contacted Otto and he visited our home to assess the damage. He came up with a plan to give the stairs a solid foundation (which was non-existent) and also rebuild them to match the existing brickwork. The result is a welcoming and solid set of stairs to our home which actually add curb appeal as well. Otto answers your questions and gets back to you quickly when emailed which I was very impressed with. If you need masonry work done, this is the man to call.

Tuckpointing Front of Home

I was looking to refresh our home's tired exterior and thought that tuckpointing could achieve this. I spoke with Otto personally about this and he gave us options in both colour and style of tuckpointing to suite our taste and the look of our home. I couldn't be happier with his work. It was maticulously done and our home loks new again. I found Otto's Masonry on Home Stars and am writing this review so that you will also feel confident in hiring this company to do the work.

Repair of Basement Wall

We had Otto fix a collapsed and imploding fieldstone door opening in the basement of our 120-yr old heritage home in Toronto. He put in a steel girder, an 18-inch-thick fieldstone wall in place of the door well, removed debris outside and backfilled.

The work looks great, robust, fits in well with the rest of the 120-yr-old wall, and looks pristine from outside.

Otto is very pleasant and helpful, and his workers are neat and polite. No cost escalation, bait-and-switch or any other shenanigans - he's an honest man.

His company is first on my list for a complete repointing next year.

I would highly recommend him.
