A&A Masonry reviews (819)

I plan on purchasing new windows all around my house in the near future so upon closer examination, I noticed a number of cement window sills with cracked mortar along the sides and underneath. When we have the odd driving rain coming from the east, I noticed some water was making it's way through those cracks and into my garage. I wanted a stable, leakproof base when I eventually purchase my new windows. Further checks around the house revealed minor mortar cracks that needed to be addressed as well. I got onto Homestars.com and after some research, decided to go with A & A Masonry. Boy am I glad I did! This is not the first time I've used Homestars to find a trade. From the first contact with Sophie the secretary to Paul the estimator and then Joe and James the masonry experts to Andy (owner) the team was professional. When Joe and James arrived, (I'll call them JJ) we introduced ourselves and they were shown what needed to be done. As a bit of a perfectionist, I quickly noticed they too took their craft seriously and paid attention to detail. JJ and I communicated well and found them to be respectful young men. I believe it was Joe that matched the mortar cedar colour perfectly, a tricky job I'm sure. The lower roof was hosed down afterwards and the area cleaned up. Andy, your company delivered big time! If any of my neighbours require masonry work, I'll be sure to highly recommend the company. Thanks kindly - Walter

There's a reason why this company has so many favourable reviews. They really do live by their motto, delivering what they promise, and then some. I live in a semi: my neighbour and I needed to have our 40+ year old chimney rebuilt and some tuckpointing completed on the exterior walls. We agreed to A&A after finding them via Homestars. A&A Masonry has been a pleasure to work with - right from the initial estimate with Pierre, to having the guys (Joe and James) on-site performing the repair, to dealing with Andy for the contract and payment. Pierre has always been reachable and responsive - I haven't even had to use his voicemail - the guy seems to pick up his phone any time of the day. Joe and James are a fantastic crew. These guys are true professionals: knowledgeable and excellent at their trade, thorough in their work, communicate well, courteous to the neighbours. After tearing down the chimney to the roofline, they found 8 courses below the roof that needed replacing. Not something we expected, but they took and sent us pictures to show us the problem. They picked out a nice, solid red clay brick to match the house and built separate chambers for our chimney flues (which were not done on the previous repair). The cleaned the roof after the rebuild, and tarped up the chimney every night until the flashing was fastened and sealed. They wire-brushed a terrible DIY repair job on the side wall done with cement by the previous owner, and did a proper job tuckpointing and repairing the window sills around the house. A great experience overall - I would recommend these guys for any future work. In fact, I recommended them to my in-laws who just signed a contract w/ them.

“No man ever regretted buying Quality” / John Ruskin 1819-1900 / Worn concrete on porch and steps, bricks cracking, splitting/flaking, needed repairs. We requested flagstone on porch and steps, and wall cladding with natural stone veneer. Paul advised on and helped us viewing, then Paul and Dwight selected the materials. The skillful craftsmanship of Dwight resulted in showing the beauty of natural stone. A&A Masonry delivered as promised, has done a great job creating added value and “curb appeal“ to our home. Thank you sincerely! Highly recommended by Frank and Jan in Woodbridge.

Great company, and great work - smooth sailing. My main comment and recommendation is Andy, Pierre and Jerry were easy and comfortable to deal with: responsive, straightforward, knowledgeable, and reliable - I couldn't really ask for more. Thanks for the great work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A and A.

Spoke with Pierre regarding rebuilding our crumbling chimney. When he came over we discussed a solution for our front steps and broken concrete pad. Pierre had some good ideas for the steps and came back with a very reasonable price. Joe and James knocked our chimney down and rebuilt it better than new in less than a day, returning the next to install flashing and do a final caulk. Dwight and Aaron came the next day and did an OUTSTANDING job. They tore out and repoured the concrete pad, and clad the porch, steps, and new concrete pad in flagstone. They did what seemed like a week's work in under 3 days and they were unfailingly polite and professional. We were really impressed with the whole A & A team, especially Dwight and Aaron, and we are very happy with the work done. Thanks A & A!! Joe and Merren

I needed some mortar cracks repaired around my home and few bricks replaced. I called a large number of contractors and found Pierre at A&A Masonry to be the most thorough when providing an estimate. A&A was definitely not the cheapest provider but neither were they the most expensive. There was a fair amount of mortar repair to be done on my home and I wanted to be reasonably sure the job would be thorough and properly done so, I chose A&A based on my meeting with Pierre. I was put in touch with Andy who was very quick to schedule the job and one day later James and Joe arrived to begin work. Everyone at A&A were courteous, knowledgable and seemed to put my satisfaction above all else when completing the job. James and Joe were very professional and completed the work in two days. After completion, I noticed a couple of spots that needed further work. James came by early on a Sunday morning to finish the job to my satisfaction before accepting any payment. I am very satisfied with the work that was completed and impressed with the crew's ability to match the mortar almost perfectly. In some spots I have to look very closely to see the difference. Although my main concern was keeping the water out it is great that the repairs are difficult to distinguish from the original mortar. Although the cost of the job was more expensive than others were quoting I feel confident that A&A did a great job. I will definitely recommend A&A in the future.

Brad provided a professional appraisal of the problem. Domenic and his team did a terrific job in excavating, waterproofing and leaving a clean area upon completion. I highly recommend them.

Andy provided a fair quote for the work done. The crew was friendly and efficient. Their workmanship was top notch. The house and flagstone walkway look lovely and will be strong for years to come.

Paul was the mason who performed the repair to our brickwork. Exceptional work and competitive pricing - better than I had hoped for! I will use them again to repair my concrete steps and railing. Top Notch!
