Red Robin Masonry

Dave was a pleasure to deal with AND did a great job - perfect combination for a "picky" homeowner like me! Dave was reliable, professional and, best of all, returned (after having been paid) to make a minor adjustment. He was patient with me and all my questions and concerns and while I hope that further brick work won't be needed, I will definitely call Red Robin if it is!

I would higly recommend these guys!! What a refreshing change in dealing with trades people to have someone show up, communicate exactly what can be done, do it on time and at a great price!

I called several contractors for this job, and Red Robin was the only company to give me an honest quote and a comfort that they could do the job. Great work, good communication and the right price. I'll use these guys again!

The red brick pillars supporting the front porch on our Riverdale home were leaning, one so badly that the wooden column between the pillar and the roof had completely buckled. Red Robin's professionalism gave us complete confidence from our first meeting. Dave planned the the work for us with a comprehensive quote and project scope, complete with accurate cost options and contingency plans. Mike precisely disassembled the old pillars and carefully preserved the old bricks to ensure that the new column matched the rest of the house. The new pillars are solid and arrow-straight, but because of the care with which Mike restored the brick work and matched the mortar, they blend perfectly with the vintage of the home and the character of the neighbourhood. He is a superior craftsman.

Red Robin's broad portfolio of expertise was particularly convenient for us since we wanted to install a new porch railing. They worked with us to understand the style we were looking for and sourced quality lumber for a great price. Jeremy finished the job ahead of schedule and it looks fantastic.

We're looking forward to an ongoing relationship with Red Robin on a variety of projects throughout our home.

My house required a large portion of its side to be re-parged as water was draining between the houses. Dave as promised made time for my quote within a few days and promptly provided me with what I believe to be a fair quote. Although they seemed to be busy they were able to fit my job in as it was only a day of work they said. Even when my wall turned out to be in worse condition then previously anticipated, Mike provided me with a finish product that I was very happy with. I would recommend Red Robin to anyone, both for their work as well as there reliability and communication.
Thanks again

We contacted Dave and he promptly came over and gave us a very reasonable quote to completely rebuild our crumbling chimney. After some delays due to rain (which they apologized for), Mike and his team arrived on time and were very professional. They were very pleasant, and completed the job on time. They were very detail oriented, and even made sure to use as many of the intact original bricks on the visible side of the chimney. They showed me that they were very concerned with not only the structure, but also the overall appearance. During the clean up, my garden hose ruptured. Even though the hose was damaged before they arrived they bought me a new hose without me asking. This truly goes above and beyond what another contractor would do. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else, and I will likely use them myself again.

I contacted Dave at Red Robin as one of 6 quotes for chimney parging and repairs to the adjacent walls where mortar was falling out on my 50 year old home. When I met Dave at my home for the quote process, his first remark was that they would make certain to take very good care of the beautiful wooden patio which sits under the chimney area. That pretty much sold me right there! Dave's quote was the best of the 6, and the work was scheduled within one week. Mike and Jeff were here most of the day and did a fantastic job repairing ALL of the loose mortar as well as helping me out by putting a special cover over the "fake" chimney flue next to the real one (which did have a cap on it). I was MUCH appreciative, as I can't get up onto roofs anymore.

Dave is in almost immediate contact with you for any questions or concerns ,either by phone or email, before, during and after completion of the job. THAT is AMAZING and RARE service !!

Not only were Dave and Jeff efficient, neat, professional and concerned with meticulous clean up, they were just down to earth great guys. The day was cold, very windy, and even threw in a bit of drizzly rain/snow. They were not going to leave until I was satisfied with every aspect of the job.
It was done as perfectly as I could ever have expected it to be.

Great work, and thank you for such efficient service!

I highly recommend Red Robin Masonry and would have them back in a wink.

Our front porch is a nice older structure made of stone with a cold room underneath. Last year we had major leak during heavy rains, with water gushing into the cold room and we realized some repairs to the porch were badly needed. We had quotes from a few different companies, but Red Robin was the cheapest and most professional.

Mike came out with a helper as scheduled and got started on the job which involved tuckpointing the stone surface and brick all around the porch. Unfortunately, various rain delays meant the job wasn't done until it was close to winter. Also, the work was made more complicated since someone had tried in the past to patch up the surface joints with concrete instead of mortar, and some stones had to be removed completely and reinserted since they were coming loose.

There were still some minor cracks to deal with by the time winter set in, but they were mostly cosmetic and the cold room stayed dry.

Now, the work done was exceptional, but what really makes me give Mike and Red Robin a perfect 10 is the follow-up this spring to get the work completed. I had expected to have to hunt them down to come and finish up, but instead they were the ones hunting me down! I wasn't always the easiest person to get a hold of, but Mike kept at it through e-mails and phone calls and finally we managed to set a suitable time when the sun also happened to shine and the work is now completed.

I would definitely use Red Robin again and I have recommended them to all my friends. I completely trust their professionalism and integrity and I know that they just won't quit until the job is done right.

I have hired Red Robin twice now.
The first job involved replacing several damaged bricks around the front of our home. Business owners Mike and Dave came by to review the job, and from the kind of information they were sharing, it was clear they are masonry experts. This proved true on the job itself - Mike did a great job, paying attention to the structural integrity of our home along with the aesthetics of the job.

The second job was trickier - I needed a new door installed, but it involved rebuilding the structural support of the wall around it, including installing a new lintel. In spite of a few surprises along the way - only apparent once Mike took some of the material out - Mike made it all work. I'm confident that we have strong structural support and a well-installed door.

Mike and Dave are always friendly and professional, they work hard and they finish the job quickly. They've done a lot to improve the energy efficiency and strength of our home. I'd absolutely recommend them!

I contacted Red Robin for to drill/patch a few venting holes. I was on a tight timeline, and Mike was very prompt in getting me a quote, walking me through the process and doing the job.
As he completed the job, he paid great attention to detail and we were very satisfied with the job. Thanks Mike.
We will definitely use Mike/Red Robin in the future.
