Everything masonry, one crew

Ten core services, one crew. We don't subcontract the masonry — the person who quotes your job is the person who builds it.

  • Chimney repairs

    Repointing, crown and cap repair, flashing and relining — rebuilding what freeze and thaw have broken.

  • Chimney removals

    Taken down safely to the roofline, the opening decked in and flashed over, debris hauled off the same day.

  • Brick repairs

    Cracked, spalled or blown bricks cut out and replaced one for one, colour-matched to the wall around them.

  • Brick restoration

    Full façade restoration: mortar analysis, careful teardown of failed sections and rebuild in matching brick.

  • Window & door cut outs

    Structural openings cut into brick and block for new windows and doors, lintels set and the patch tied in.

  • Flagstone

    Paths, patios and landings laid in natural flagstone on a proper base, with tight, even joints.

  • Stone veneer

    Natural and manufactured veneer on entries, foundations and full walls — clean returns, sills and corners.

  • Natural stone

    Limestone, granite and sandstone steps, sills, hearths and accents — cut and set on site to fit.

  • Tuckpointing

    Old mortar ground out to depth and repointed in matched colour and profile — the right fix for most aging walls.

  • Parging

    Scratch and finish coat on block walls and foundations for a clean, weather-sealed surface.

From the scaffold this month

Real jobs, real photos — no stock library. Here's a chimney rebuild we wrapped up recently, from first course to final cap.

Full brick chimney rebuild with new crown and cap

The old stack was cracked and leaning. Two other contractors had recommended taking it down to the roofline. We scaffolded in, took it down to solid brick, and rebuilt it course by course in a matching blend — fresh cast crown, step flashing, and a new metal cap sealed against the weather.

How a job runs

No mystery, no moving targets. Three stages, and you know where you stand at each one.

  1. 01

    Free on-site estimate

    We look at the work in person, take measurements and photos, and explain what has to happen. You get a written scope and price — no charge, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Schedule & materials

    We lock a start date, order matching brick or stone, and handle any permits. You'll know a week ahead exactly when the crew arrives and what happens first.

  3. 03

    Build, sweep, warranty

    The crew works to the written scope, sweeps the site every evening, and walks the job with you at completion. Final step: your five-year workmanship warranty.

One crew, one standard, since 2016

SKIP Masonry started in 2016 with a single crew and a simple rule: do the repair the way we'd do it on our own house. That means honest scope — we'll tell you when a wall needs rebuilding and when it just needs repointing — and materials chosen to match what's already there, not what's cheapest on the truck.

Ten years later we're still hands-on. Estimates are written by the person who will run your job, masons (not laborers) set the critical courses, and we keep the same subcontractor relationships so permitting and inspections never stall a schedule.

What clients say after the scaffolding comes down

“They repointed the whole front of the house and you genuinely cannot tell where the old mortar ends and the new begins. Crew showed up when they said, every day.”
Dana R.Repointing & brick repair · Mississauga
“Our chimney was leaning and two other companies just wanted to tear it down. SKIP Masonry rebuilt it for half the quote and pulled the permit themselves.”
Michael & Priya T.Chimney rebuild · Oakville
“Retaining wall, patio and entry steps done in one contract. One crew, one schedule, one invoice — and the site was spotless every night.”
