Masonry contractors usually charge by the hour, starting at 28 CAD depending on their experience. Alternatively, they may also charge by the square foot of what they’ll be laying (brick veneer, solid brick, stone wall, etc.)

1. D’Agui Masonry Ottawa

d-agui-masonry-ottawa

Services: Concrete sealing, chimney removal, repointing, stonework

Location: 3 St Remy Dr, Ottawa, ON K2J 1A4, Canada

Contact: +1 613-878-5989

Business hours: Monday to Saturday: 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM

Website

D’Agui Masonry was one of our frontrunners for this list because of their impressive portfolio. One look at the gallery on their official website and Instagram account gave us a great idea of what their quality of work is like.

It isn’t surprising to see its vast album of previous works though, as they’ve been around for several years. Plus, they offer a wide variety of masonry services, from solid walls to bricklaying and various other stonework services.

Among these services, however, their biggest hit is their chimney installation. Apart from the quality of the finished product, what further impressed us about this service was its quick turnaround time.

We interviewed one of their clients and they noted how surprised they were when the masons that visited their home were able to get the job done in a couple of hours.

The only downside is they’re closed on Sundays. However, D’Agui does make up for this by being open 10 hours a day throughout the week.

Pros

  • Adept masons
  • Solid selection of solid, brick and block stonework services
  • Impressive portfolio
  • Quick turnaround time
  • Offers free quotations

Cons

  • Closed on Sundays

Made the process seamless

“Top notch. Gregory made the process seamless. His team showed up first thing in the morning and to my surprise had everything done in 1 day. The chimney we repaired looks excellent. I would recommend D’Agui Masonry 100%.”

-K Cap, Google Review

Would definitely recommend

“Had our chimney repointed and a new crown installed by Gregory and his team and we couldn’t be happier with the service and quality of workmanship. Gregory was extremely responsive throughout the whole process and promptly addressed all my concerns.

He was also kind enough to move a few things around to be able to fit our job on short notice, which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely recommend D’Agui Masonry Ottawa!”

2. Stonehenge Masonry

Services: Windowsills, chimney, stairs, foundations, brickwork, stonework

Location: 17 Glencairn Ave, Ottawa, ON K1S 1M5, Canada

Contact: +1 613-612-8855

Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM

Website

Right off the bat, we got a sense of how Stonehenge Masonry builds a healthy rapport with its clients based on our interviews. A handful of our interviewees highlighted their masons, specifically noting their friendliness throughout the time they were at their houses.

Speaking of masons, we’re also impressed with their experience, with some being in the field for as long as 15 years. We also like how each of their masons specialises in a specific type of work such as foundations, chimneys, windowsills and more.

We also appreciate how they offer free estimates for their potential clients as well as its smooth process. Plus, their quick response time makes them a reliable company for those times when you need something done in a jiffy.

One thing we wish is that they would open their business during the weekends, as we feel like their operating hours are a bit limited during the weekdays.

Pros

  • Wide variety of masonry services
  • Professional and friendly masons
  • Offers free estimates
  • BBB Accredited

Cons

  • Closed on weekends

Everyone was warm and friendly

“We recently worked with Stonehenge Masonry to fix damaged bricks around our windows and had the best experience. They went above and beyond to make sure we received our quote and scheduled our job before we had to leave town. 

Everyone was so warm and friendly, you can tell this company cares about their customers and is always there to answer any questions. Their quote was also highly competitive, their work was quick and professional. We would work with them again.”

-Jing Wang,  Google Review

Fastidious to the highest degree

“We needed some flagstone repairs to be done and so we hired Stonehenge Masonry.  The work by Matt was of the highest quality.  It was clear that he values the work he does and ensures that it is carried out to the client’s satisfaction.

He was thorough, meticulous, and fastidious to the highest degree. It was also easy to talk to Matt. He fully explained the work involved and answered the 2 or 3 questions I had with ease.  Great work ethic!

Additionally, the office manager, Kirscha, kept us continuously and thoroughly informed about our project, dates involved, payment options, project description, etc.”

3. Integrity Masonry Inc.

Services: Investment management, retirement planning, estate planning implementation

Location: 1830 Walkley Rd #38, Ottawa, ON K1H 8K3, Canada

Contact: +1 613-863-3654

Business hours: Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Website

Integrity Masonry Inc. caught our attention because of its diverse portfolio, ranging from stoneworks to brickworks and everything in between.

What impressed us further was that they cater to both residential and commercial properties. Among these previous projects, the one that caught our eye was the brickwork of signage in a well-known plaza in our area.

We also wanted to highlight the variety of their services, which cater to chimneys, fireplaces and more. Their most well-known service, however, is masonry restoration, which was highlighted several times during our interviews with their previous clients.

The only thing we wish they would do is lessen their prices even for a little bit. Also, it would be nice if they could extend their business hours during weekends as well.

Nonetheless, their clients were thoroughly impressed with the quality of their restoration, with some of them noting the attention to detail poured into each brick. They also praised their masons for being experts, as they left little to no mess after sealing and rebuilding.

Pros

  • Diverse portfolio
  • Great selection of services
  • Expert masons

Cons

  • Closed on weekends
  • Slightly pricey rates

Very knowledgeable

“It’s the second time (a couple of years ago and just last week) that we have had work done by Integrity Masonry and we are completely satisfied with their high-quality work and service. If we could give them more than 10/10, we would. 

They are very knowledgeable, with Nick and Tessa taking the time to recommend and explain a solution that will last. 

They are professional, respectful and hardworking, and provide timely and helpful communications. We trust them, are confident in their work, and highly recommend them.

Tessa led the work both times – I was so pleased with the quality of her work that  I asked for her specifically the second time. She takes pride in her work and does an excellent job. 

She not only knows how to do a proper quality job but also has an eye for aesthetics, leaving the house with a very solid repair and looking better than when she arrived. 

She has a wonderful disposition, easy easygoing, has an easy smile, and always takes the time to explain her work. The work area is contained and cleaned up every day. 

I would readily and happily have her for any future work, confident in her abilities, knowledge and experience.”

-Silvana Romagnino, Google Review

Everything was handled very efficiently

“I was looking for a professional company that could re-brick the entire front of my home. I looked around for quotes from approximately 10 different companies, and over half of them never gave me a quote or even bothered to follow up on my emails or calls. 

Integrity Masonry, on the other hand, was always quick to respond to emails and highly professional. After meeting with them, they were my definite top choice. Nick, Tessa, and their team were professional, punctual, polite and knowledgeable.

We chose a vertical corduroy mixed brick and it was challenging to work with, I am beyond pleased with their job, and appreciated the constant updates during the project.

I was especially impressed with the amount of work they put into the heavy-duty beam they mounted above my garage door.  

In my area, the houses are older and the beams above the garage door are noticeably bending from the heavy brick. The replacement beam Integrity Masonry recommended was extremely durable and made to last. 

While there were a couple of delays in timing, all of them were clearly communicated to us and very understandable. Overall very happy with the job done and would absolutely recommend Integrity Masonry.”

4. Canadian Masonry Services

canadian-masonry-services

Services: Chimney repair, foundation repair, stonework, parging, repointing

Location: 150 Elgin St 8 Floor # 479, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Canada

Contact: +1 613-286-1113

Business hours: Daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM

Website

Canadian Masonry Services was one of the few contractors in the city that was open every day so we had to include it on this list. Upon closer look, we were surprised when we found out that they’ve been around for more than 50 years.

The biggest highlight is its roster of expert masons, all of whom are praised by their previous clients for being warm, friendly and patient. We also love how they avoid making a mess in their clients’ space and even if they do, they clean up after themselves.

These professionals are technically efficient in masonry services like chimney repairs, waterproofing, stonework and more. They also offer windowsill services, which is an important part of taking care of your home’s stonework.

The only downside with choosing this contractor is its slightly pricey rates. However, we can say that you’ll get what you’re paying for since their masons are adept and their services feature great turnaround time.

Pros

  • Opens daily
  • 50+ years of experience
  • No deposit required

Cons

  • Slightly pricey rates

Courteous and accommodating

“We are a small six-unit downtown condominium that required repairs to our eastern brick wall. We were pleased with the work carried out by Canadian Masonry Services.

Mitch and Fannela demonstrated professionalism and addressed our engineer’s concerns, and their masonry workers were courteous and accommodating to both us and our neighbors. I highly recommend their masonry services.

Only have positive things to say about him

“I am 100% pleased with the service and quality that this reputable company provided, from beginning to end. We met Mitch at the Backyard and Cottage show where he took the time to discuss our concerns. 

He came out to our home provided a free estimate and offered a reasonable price for the job. Months later, when we were ready to proceed, I shot him a quick email and his team fit us in within the same week.

They worked well together and were careful not to damage our property. They tidied up at the end of both days they were here and they made sure we were satisfied with their work before they left. If you need a skilled and efficient team, this is it.

Many thanks!!”

5. Bol-Dan Foundation & Masonry Inc

bol-dan-foundation-masonry-inc

Services: Waterproofing, grout pumping, masonry repair, humidex installation

Location: 1900 City Park Dr Suit 300, Ottawa, ON K1J 1A3, Canada

Contact: +1 613-739-1618

Business hours: Open 24 hours

Website

If you’re facing an emergency, then Bol-Dan Foundation is the contractor to call. They’re open 24 hours and can provide a quick fix on your foundation, chimney, wall cracks and more.

We were a bit sceptical about their quick turnaround at first but we quickly discovered that their fixes are long lasting. One particular client of theirs told us that the foundation of their home now was last repaired over 5 years ago by one of Bol-Dan’s expert masons.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg too, as Bol-Dan offers a wide array of masonry services like crack injection, waterproofing, grout pumping, vacuum excavation, etc. 

We also love how they offer several solutions for masonry degradation, among which is brick and stone repointing.

Our only gripe with this contractor is its above average prices, which can surprise people the first time they request for a quotation. If you have the budget though, Bol-Dan is a solid option because of its availability and wide variety of masonry services.

Pros

  • Open 24/7
  • Wide variety of masonry services
  • Offers free estimates
  • Over 30 years of experience

Cons

  • Expensive

Very happy with the work that was done

“Gaetan and his crew waterproofed the back of my house, did a side window well that also had a crack in the area, and installed a sump pit and pump in July 2019. I am very happy with the work that was done. 

The crew worked very hard and did a great job. I can tell that they take pride in their work and sincerely want to help solve the problems. They left the area very neat and tidy. They even washed a window and siding where mud had splattered onto it. 

The price was also very reasonable and I felt that Gaetan gave me a cost-effective solution and did not try to upsell me. Gaetan and his crew are honest, hard-working, and knowledgeable about their work. I highly recommend anyone with basement water issues to consider Bol-Dan.

Update: Five years later, no problems, everything is bone dry! Thanks again for the great job!”

-Jerry Situ, Google Review

Very happy with the approach and attention to detail

“After the severe rainfall the city received back in August, I discovered that my 40-year-old window wells had filled up and overflowed into my basement. I read reviews online and contacted 3 foundation repair companies. 

I’m still waiting for a callback from the first and the second only communicated by email, providing a very expensive price per window well. When I contacted Bol-Dan, I had a visit from Christian the next day. 

He took detailed measurements and notes and explained exactly what the repairs would entail before doing a thorough walk around the property to identify other potential foundation problems.

I received a quote in writing the next day with fair prices and a 20-year warranty.  Gaetan’s crew completed the repairs only 5 weeks later and were very careful not to tear up my lawn or damage equipment/utility lines in the area.

They also promised to return in the spring to add extra stone or earth to any areas that might settle.  I was very pleased with their work and wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the future should the need arise.”
