A&A Masonry

I used A&A Masonry to repair stonework at the side of my stairs that had degraded over the years - A&A came to quote, booked the service and made the repairs all in 3 weeks. The guys who did the work were GREAT (Ron & Ras). They explained everything and answered all my questions, repaired the damage, made adjustments to prevent it from happening again and did an amazing clean up job. The job was expensive but I don't mind paying for quality work and the assurance that it is guaranteed. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

While it took longer than expected for a scheduled date, Domenic and his team were extremely professional in how they approached the work and how the job was completed. I would definitely use this company again.

A&A did a terrific exterior waterproofing job for a section of my basement. Domenic and his team are perfectionists. They are honest and hard working and do the job right and on time. I highly recommend them.

A&A Masonry - Highly recommended.
They responded quickly to my request for a quote and were able to perform the work shortly after. James and his crew were courteous, skilled and did a marvellous job. Their clean-up each night was exemplary (couldn't tell there was a job on-going). I would not hesitate to recommend James and his team and would gladly hire them again.

We looked up A&A after hearing about them on CFRB and saw all the rave reviews online. Bill promptly called, visited our home & provided a quote. We had the foundation of our house re-parged on Aug 13. It took only a day for Dwight, the mason, to complete the job in the front, sides, and rear of the house. He did a really good job and cleaned up after his work was done. We would highly recommend him and A&A as well for great customer service! It is comforting to know that there are such professional companies who do an honest & thorough job.

From start to finish A & A Masonry were an amazing company. Bill (Sales) clearly knew what had to be done with our steps and explained it so that we could see and understand the route to go. Daryl (Mason) came to our house a few days early to asses the job and also took the time to answer all of our questions. Daryl and his crew (Quinton and Zachary) arrived Saturday morning and worked until late that evening completing the job. Throughout the day we had questions of curiosity and at no time did they mind answering them. They returned on Sunday to finsih clean up and ensure we were pleased with the job. The work done was to a very high professional standard. In addition, a number of our neighbours have commented on the great job . Daryl is such a calm, dedicated professional and went the extra mile to find a brick match to out 33 year old home. We are so happy we choose A & A for this work and thank them for sending Daryl our way. We would not hesitate to use A & A Masonry in the future.

Muchas Gracias to Ronaldo, Augusto and Jose, A&A Masonry's all-star Latin American crew. They were punctual, efficient, professional, industrious, and just plain nice. They did an excellent job of replacing (and matching) some badly damaged bricks on my 100+ year old house. They tuck pointed and patched where needed, and re-cemented a seriously eroded basement window sill. They were attentive to my requests, patient with my questions, polite, respectful, and never patronizing. They rendered quality work in a timely fashion, and left the property as clean as they had found it, minus some mortar dust that should be gone with the next rain. I don't have a bad thing to say about any of them or their work and would definitely hire or recommended these guys in the future.

The recent July 2013 heavy rain storms caused water seeping through the side wall and water running through the wall in the basement of my rental property. I called 3 masonry companies, only A&A Masonry returned my call within hours, and Brad came to see my problem the next day. I and Brad discussed all alternatives in solving the problem, and decided to have the problem section of the wall parge coated, and concrete mix poured around the footing of the wall due to extremely tight space for access. Brad’s attitude is to find the best technical solution at the minimum cost, so he didn’t mind spending the time in finding the best alternative.

Only 2 business days later Dwight of A&A Masonry came over to do the work. Dwight seems to have a very good knowledge and experience of masonry work. He first did a very thorough cleaning on the wall, then took his time to do all necessary work to ensure that the parging will last a long time. He did not take short cut, and took pride of his work. When the work was completed, he took time to clean the work area. I am very happy to have courteous, experienced and efficient Dwight doing the work. If I need to have A&A Masonry to do some work in the future, I will definitely ask to have Dwight doing the work.

After the big rain storm in July I had some minor water leakage in the basement. Heard A&A Masonry commercial on CFRB and called to book an appointment. After a careful inspection it was decided all I needed was something called Parging. Dwight came to do the job and the foundation looks brand new. He arrived at 8am and was done by 5pm. No mess. He cleaned up before he left. I would definitely recommend A&A Masonry for all your foundation needs or crack repairs. If you're lucky they will send Dwight to do the job.

A&A Masonry Saved Our Front Entrance:
Our front entrance walkway pad and staircase were in a mess. This was due to a previous coating of thin stamped concrete that didn’t last more than 3 years before it started to chip and flake. We had been conned a number of years back by a guy who sold us on this stamped look except it didn’t last. It was too thin a coating we found out over time.
On May 24 weekend I rented a medium sized electric Power Chisel and within 4 hours had the entire pad area cleared and all the entrance area and anything that would come off the steps as well. Now our challenge was to find a new coating that could go over the bare cement areas as well as the areas of the old coating that wouldn’t come off. It was extremely important that this next coating be right and last for a long time through harsh winters and extremely hot summers at times here in Toronto.
I did extensive research on the Web and found many options that sounded right; but I knew wouldn’t cover all substrates successfully for the long term.
A particular process and material that did catch my eye was called “Rubaroc”. It had Canadian Authorized dealers so I contacted the one for my area here in Etobicoke; A&A Masonry.
I was told someone would call me from the sales department to arrange to come over to my home to review the job required. I think it was the very same afternoon I received a phone call from a man named “Dan” and we set up a time to visit my home the next day and review the job scope. We reviewed all details of the materials, life expectancy, maintenance, repair if ever required etc. This material I realized I had seen many times around pools at hotels during my and my wife’s travels.
After a couple minor adjustments to the quote I was confident we had the right process and material that would cover all our surfaces and revitalize our badly needed entrance. Another very important detail in our negotiation was that A&A Masonry didn’t want any payment whatsoever until we were happy with the final product. This showed me their utmost confidence in their product and people doing their work.
It was a timing game with the weather for this product and process and our time came with a phone call and later that day the crew Matt, Paul, and a helper I’m sorry I have forgotten his name arrived. We quickly reviewed the job and let the guys go at it. They knew what they had to do and got right down to business with the layout of our highlight area around the front of the walkway pad, applying the bonding agent, and mixing up their first batch of material for application. Later that afternoon “Dan” showed up to see how things were going and touch base with the guys.
The day was HOT and they motored on while my wife and I continuously checked to see if they needed anything to drink; water, pop, juices. Later we decided that they had been at the work long enough that we felt we should get them something to eat; so we got them a couple Pizzas. These guys were great! They got the job done that day right about dusk and just in time to clean up everything. No discussions about money were brought up by them at all.
A couple days later we received a follow up phone call from “Dan” to arrange a time to come over and see the final product and how it all turned out. We met a day or so later and told him how beautiful it all turned out and We Couldn’t Have Picked a Better Company or Product for our application.

Our entrance and front of our house has been totally changed for the better!!

Thank You Very Much Darren, Dan, Matt, Paul and Helper
And all at A&A Masonry
