Remove brick above firebox to lower fireplace mantel

I found Otto's Masonry on Homestars and was very impressed by the reviews. I am happy to report that they were right!
I contacted Otto for help to lower my mantel so that we can put the TV above the fireplace.
Dealing with Otto and his staff was a pleasure. Not only did Otto give me a reasonable quote, but his manner was wonderful. He is a polite gentleman and explained things to my satisfaction. Tony, his office manager, was prompt and always responded to my emails in a timely manner. Eckhart did a fantastic job with the brick work. In fact, it was better than I had even anticipated. There was no mess left afterwards either!
I can honestly say that I would highly recommend Otto and plan to use him again in the future.

Brick Laying

We recently converted our duplex into a single family dwelling. Because it was a duplex, we had two side by side front doors. We wanted to replace the left door with a window and cover the rest of the gap left by the removal of the door with bricks. Otto came to see the work to be accomplished and provided us with clear explanations regarding this brick job and also furnished great tips as to how to best place the window. The final result was amazing. You can't tell at all that there used to be two entrance doors. Otto seems to have access to a collection of old bricks just like the ones my house was built with 80 years ago. Eventhough the results were amazing, Otto said he was not satisfied with one brick(!)that his employee put in. He had somebody come the next day to change it! You can certainly count on him for a great job.

Dear Louis,
I am proud that you are happy with our final product. Otto is very experienced and has a wealth of knowledge in masonry. Actually, many masons in Toronto got their start with Otto and continue to come to him for advice. Yes, he is very proud of his work and that one brick had to be replaced!

New window ledges and brick/chimney repair

We needed to replace crumbling bricks on our window sills and around the chimney. I checked homestars first (I always do now!) and found Otto. Impressive team - very professional, very clean and respectful of our property and when one aspect of the job turned out to be less work than anticipated, Otto reduced the bill. That level of professionalism and honesty is rare and we so appreciated it.

Repair to front steps

The front steps of our 70 year old house were crumbling, but we didn't want to replace the whole thing just yet. I saw Otto's work up the street and was so impressed that I called him. He came over promptly to scope the job. He never tried to up sell me or convinve me to redo the staircase. Even though it was a small repair job, he completed it in a very timely manner and it looks great. When I'm ready to invest in a whole new staircase I will definately call Otto for the job.

Brick replacement

The quote we received was competitive, and the work was performed sooner than originally scheduled. Three sections of a brick wall under the front porch needed to be replaced as two were crumbling and another was sagging from water infiltration. An old milk box was no longer being used and had this removed and bricked up as well.

Two guys came and removed all the old brick, and another fellow came the next day to lay the bricks. We are very pleased with the work done as it was a gift for my parents. They too are very pleased with the work and colour matching of the bricks on the side of home. We would not hesitate to recommend or call Otto and his crew back for another job. Thank you!

Chimney Repair

I called Otto's office on Friday for a smallish repair the top 1/3 of my chimney. He came the next morning to inspect the chimney and as he provided a very reasonable estimate, I asked him to make some small repairs to a couple of window ledges. The work was completed the following Saturday and Otto came by himself to make sure everything was going well. I'm very pleased with the work done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend his company.

Chimney tuck pointing - very narrow alley

Owning a 100+ year-old home, I share a very narrow alley with my neighbours.

This alley facilitates (very limited/narrow) access to a 2-story brick chimney which required tuck pointing (i.e. replacing mortar between bricks) due to lont-term water/weathernig damage).

Otto visited and inspected the chimney and supplied a very reasonable and accurate estimate.

The work was scheduled rapidly and two workers were sent to complete the job...in a single working day.

Upon completing the work, the workers cleaned the work-site and I was invoice promptly.

5-star service all around.

Thanx guys :)

Brick Repair

I had some damaged bricks on the side of my house. I found Otto through homestars and he lived up to his reviews. He came by on a weekend to look at the work and sent me a quote the next day. The new bricks match the existing bricks very well and the repair blends right in. I am very happy with the finished product.
