John repointed my stone chimney about 10 years ago and it's still holding, and since then I've invited him back to build a stairway of natural stone and stone retaining walls. I'm very pleased with all aspects of his work and have recommended him to others.

Heritage House Godsent: As first time home buyers, John was amazing at putting our minds at ease when it came to our 92 year old home. He really took the time to explain the different processes stages, alternative methods, and offered sound advice based on his many years of experience and knowledge. He offered a much more human aproach to the nightmares of contracting, and you just can't put a price on that.

I had John parge a side wall of my first home in the Glebe about 9 years ago and it has stood the test of time. More recently I had John do some leveling of my basement floor in my second home in the Glebe. I'd hire him again.

John saved me money, came up with a solution John didn't do any work for me, but did save me thousands of dollars. He explained how he could do what I thought I needed, and it would have cost alot, but he also proposed a creative solution that worked. I promised to write a recommendation in return, and here it is. Thanks John, for thinking and knowing your craft.

I take this opportunity to tell you how pleased we were with the masonry work you did at our home. The work was done on schedule, on budget and in a very professional manner. We would not hesitate recommending you to our friends.

"I am impressed at the professionalism which was delivered each time I spoke with, or corresponded via email, with John, it certainly confirms a professional working relationship when I was not in a position to physically meet him as I was out of the area when I booked his services. To me, this reflects highly on his professionalism and is an incredibly important business bonus! When it came to dealing with my masonary concerns on my property he was genuine and attentive. He really made me feel like my property was a priority to his business. When I arrived on site to view the job upon completion, the property was clean of all debris, and the work was beautiful. I wish I had done this long before so that I could have enjoyed looking at the final product before I put the place up for sale. I would certainly recommend My Mason for all your masonary needs! Thanks so much to John and his team for an Excellent Job!"

John, your prices have always been reasonable and your response time to our needs is incredible.

John repointed joints on our old home, matching the colour very closely. And he showed us how a previous contractor had just put a thin layer on instead of digging the joints out.   He let us see the prepared joints before he filled them in.   We'd hire him again.

"While in search for a Mason, John impressed us with his manner of approaching a building clearly explaining preventative measures to lasting results. If your goals are unclear he patiently assists in clarifying them, If your goals are already well defined you can enjoy the benefit of his fantastic pricing. I plan on using him again for the upcoming year.   (2012)"

"Shortly after moving into our new house, two other masonry firms provided quotes of $3000 to $4000 for repairs that they said were urgent. When I called John, he inspected the house and assured us that our chimney was stable and in no dire need of being fixed. For the repointing work that John performed on the back of our house, he was efficient and cost-effective, charging a third of the price quoted by the other companies. I will definitely hire John again because he’s honest and explains what needs to be fixed and why, and exactly what work he’ll do to fix it."

"John of john@mymason did first class masonry work outside my house on Briardale, including parging around the perimeter, and creating proper drainage for my stone front steps.   Highly recommended."
