Integrity Masonry

We can highly recommend Nick and his crew at Integrity Masonry for several reasons: 1) they are great to work with because they kept us informed. Nick sent me daily emails early each morning to update me as the work progressed. If the work was going to be shut down due to weather, I was informed immediately by Nick or one of his crew. I also liked the fact that Nick visited our work site most mornings and ensured that if I had any questions, they were answered, 2) they persevered to solve difficult problems. The restoration of the brickwork at our 100+ year old house required the difficult task of setting up scaffolding two stories high in a 36 inch wide alleyway between our house and that of our neighbours. Despite taking more days and more scaffolding materials than expected, there was never any doubt spoken that they would not succeed, 3) despite the additional time and materials used, the final cost was the price on the original estimate and 4) finally, the quality of the workmanship fulfilled all of the requirements specified in the original quote.

I was very pleased with the work that Nick's crew of masons (Tessa, Sean and Leona) did in repairing the top area of my chimney. They re-capped it with masonry and a custom sheet metal crown, supplied new clay flue liners and replaced a few damaged bricks. When it proved impossible to find new bricks that matched mine, they took the time to remove the top brick layer from my chimney and used some of those to make a perfect match. I appreciated this attention to detail as brick matching was a concern of mine that we had discussed before the work began.

Sean and his team were very courteous and professional, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to a friend or hire them again in the future.

Excellent communication, job professionally executed, quality work, included some extra bits such as repairing a brick. It was a relief to place the work in trusted hands.

Nick and his team members Tessa, Leona, and Sean rebuilt completely the part of my brick chimney above the roof line. They performed excellent work, were all courteous, hard working, and very responsive. Integrity Masonry performed the work on time and when it was planned for. I am very glad to have chosen this company and would use and recommend Integrity Masonry without hesitation.

Thank you.

Excellent work. The crew was very professional, worked hard, did a great job and kept the working site clean and cleaned up after the work was done. They explained what they were doing and were very good about answering questions.

Nick was the professional at every turn. He provided a quote quickly near the end of a very busy fall season. Not sure if the work could be done before spring we were given a 5% discount for a spring job. Early e-mail contact in the spring was great given that the trades aren't known for good communication. The two workers, Devon and Nadia were friendly and capable. The end product looks great and the clean up was first class.

We consulted several other masons before we contacted Integrity Masonry. They were the first firm who took a logical, progressive approach to determine what the issue was with our chimney, identify the cause and location then propose a solution. They showed us pictures as they progressed and very patiently explained what needed to be done. They very professionally completed the work and cleaned up when they were finished. Throughout, their staff were very competent and pleasant to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone. They live up to their name - integrity.

We needed some work done on our brick chimney, involving reducing and capping it as part of a gas fireplace conversion project. Integrity Masonry was able to accommodate our timelines which were dependent on a number of other activities, and the crew that came were both very professional and pleasant. They paid particular attention to details and worked delicately where necessary despite the power tools and heavy materials involved. They also cleaned up nicely once the work was complete. We were very satisfied with their work overall, as well as the reasonable price.

Professional staff, timely and prompt follow-up. Work completed on time and on budget.

I would highly recommend Integrity Masonry for any brick work, finding them very price competitive and customer oriented, as well as providing excellent quality service. We contacted three firms for a quote to rebuild our chimney. Integrity was the lowest bid, at less than half the high bidder. The quality of the work performed was excellent with friendly, efficient work team was nice friendly group. At the end of each work day, everything was cleaned up and at the end the entire site was left completely tidy.

Unfortunately, my job could not be scheduled in the fall of 2016, but Integrity Masonry staff came and sealed the chimney to prevent any moisture or animals from getting in during the winter.

In addition to the excellent work to repair the chimney, I asked if they could repair two damaged bricks in the front of my house. They did an amazing replacement job at no charge.

The job was completed quickly with little damage to our newly planted sod.

I hired Nick Ford and his crew to come fix the beat up chimney on my 1959 house. Nick came the very same day I requested the quote to assess the damage and gave me an estimate for the repair a few days later. He gave me a timeline as to when I could expect the work to be completed, and he stuck to it perfectly. The final price was also exactly as he quoted.

He communicated with me via email the whole time, keeping me up to date on everything I needed to know. I am particularly pleased with how well he managed to match the new chimney bricks with the ~60 year old bricks currently on the house, since many of the others I got estimates from mentioned they would not be able to get an exact match. Nick's match is about as close to perfect as you can possibly get without reusing original bricks from the house.

Although I didn't speak much with his crew, they were all pleasant and friendly during my brief conversations with them. The final product was also excellent. They are truly masters of their craft. Overall, Integrity Masonry delivered excellent service and an excellent final product, all for the agreed upon price, and in the agreed upon time frame. What more could you ask for? I will certainly be hiring them again should I ever require masonry services in the future. In summary, I would highly recommend Integrity Mansonry for all of your mansonry needs.

Nick Ford's company is well run and the experience is professional all the way. His crew, Nathan, Julian and Natalie are all fantastic at what they do. I highly recommend Integrity Masonry for any work you need.

Integrity Masonry just completed exterior brick repair work at our home, which included replacing damaged bricks, repointing and installation of a new stone sill. We found Nick Ford, Nathan and staff to all be very professional, experienced, efficient and polite. They kept us informed every step of the way. The work was completed quickly, correctly, on budget and the site left clean. True professionals. I have no hesitation in recommending Integrity Masonry and I will absolutely hire them again on my next project. P.M.

During winter I heard some material fall down the chimney. I thought it was just some ice that had built up inside the chimney. After the snow had melted I heard the noise again and noticed small pieces of the liner on the ground. I looked at the top of the chimney and noticed the liner was coming apart.

I did some research on the internet and gave Nick Ford at Integrity Masonry a call. Within 24 hours of receiving my call Nick came to my house, looked at chimney and sent me an estimate a few days later. He also explained I might need a new metal cap if the current one could not be salvaged.

We arranged a time for the work to be done and they were there when promised. The work was done and they were able to reuse the metal cap.

It is reassuring to know there are still businesses committed to providing excellent quality service within the agreed upon quote. The crew was professional and friendly. Obviously this is from the top on down. When they left, the job site was as clean as when they first came.

I would not hesitate to have Nick and his company do any other masonry work.

Integrity Masonry rebuilt my chimney six years ago and it still looks brilliant--so when I noticed a brick coming loose over a second story window in my ±100 year old house, I knew exactly who to call. Nick came by pronto to assess the problem and schedule the work. He sent a quote a few days later and had the job done the following week. I think they left the site cleaner than they found it. From start to finish, another professional, expert job. Nick knows his stuff, is a great communicator, and does what he says he's going to do at the price quoted. I highly recommend Integrity.

We have bought a new house last May and after having seen a series of unprofessional and incompetent contractors go through our house it was refreshing to work with Integrity Masonry. From the moment we met for the quote to the moment they completed the remodeling of the fireplace they were professional and demonstrated excellent craftsmanship. We are very satisfied with the end result and would recommend them to everyone.

Nick Ford's work is extremely impressive. When examining the finished resurfacing of our hearth, one could not even lodge a millimetre's worth of complaint. It is the hearth of our dreams. That is especially so considering that Nick had to deal with a few under-the-surface logistical nightmares. He tackled these challenges with clarity, creativity, and a meticulous attention to every conceivable detail. Nick was also quite helpful in the process of selecting our tiles. We are David and Cassandra of the Cat's Meow, in the Perth, Ontario countryside, and we heartily endorse Integrity Masonry without any reservations whatsoever. Use this guy!

"Our experience with “Integrity Masonry” has been extremely positive. Nick does quality work, was reliable, and is very easy and pleasant to deal with. His integrity shines through his commitment to doing an excellent job and ensuring his customer is fully satisfied. We absolutely recommend Integrity Mason - 100%."

The repair work Nick and his crew performed was great. Their workmanship in the job was excellent. The crew was professional and made sure the work area was clean. They even went beyond the job to fix a different problem that we weren't aware of. The estimate that Nick gave us was very competitive and the work was done in the time frame he gave us. We were very pleased with Integrity Masonry and would recommend them to anyone.

Stittsville, ON September 2016

Excellent quality work, they also took the time to look at the rest of our brickwork and assured me the minor cracks in the mortar were not a problem. The new opening was so well done it looks like it's always been there. They left the place spotless each day. I've already recommended them, and will continue to do so.

We had Integrity Masonry rebuild the upper portion of our chimney. They were referred to us by one of our friends. Nick and his team were excellent throughout the whole process. Nick spent the time to meet with me for the quote and he ensured that I was 100% clear of the work that was going to be done. The timelines and dates were set and Nick got in touch with me about 1 week before the project started to reconfirm everything. Nick and his crew were a pleasure to deal with. They kept the entire job site clean (as a lot of the work had to be done near my neighbour’s property). As well they did an excellent job with keeping me updated with the progress. My wife and I were extremely happy with this renovation experience. I will definitely recommend Integrity Masonry to my friends and family.

Nick and his team added brick veneer to a wall in my condo apt, and I'm very happy with their work and the results. Professional and very helpful during the estimation and scheduling phase. Very skilled with the work and especially the creative aspect to replicate an authentic vintage wall. Excellent communications throughout the job by telling me what stage they were at and the steps coming next. Did a great job minimizing mess and disruption in the apt and the rest of the building. Entire job was completed within a week. Highly recommend!

Nick Ford of Integrity Masonry Inc. and his team removed existing brickwork on an existing irreparable chimney. They repaired and rebuilt the chimney and surrounding masonry, siding, and roof area so that it is pleasing to look at and functional. They went the extra mile to accommodate a challenging and difficult project in a professional and pleasant manner.

Nick and his team were extremely pleasant to work with, provided solid advice from the start, and was very professional throughout. John was the mason that was tasked with our home, and he was very pleasant, receptive and catered to last minute requests that were spotted as the job was being done and he didn't mind at all to do the extra task, he genuinely wanted us to be happy with the work, and succeeded. I highly recommended this company!

We had a very short deadline to reface a very outdated fireplace in my semi-detached home, and hired Integrity Masonry to do the work . My call for a quote was answered very quickly, Nick Ford, the owner of the company, came by on a Saturday morning to look at the job and provided the quote in a short time. Once we accepted, the work started very quickly. The workers were extremely polite and professional and resolved problems (asbestos was detected on the wall, the floor and ceiling were not even) quickly and efficiently.

Nick, came by several times a day to check on progress and provide his considerable expertise to his workers, to ensure that we were pleased with the progress and to address any issues we might have. He communicates well with his workers and his clients, and during the process it became clear that he loves what he is doing and takes great pride in his work. The crew was very punctual in the morning, took very short breaks, tidied up every evening and left the house as clean as possible. We were amazed that the work was completed so, and the new fireplace looks absolutely stunning.

It was a pleasure dealing with Nick and his crew, and we are thrilled with the end result.

I highly recommend Nick and Integrity Masonry.

We hired Nick and his team based on a recommendation and we are very satisfied with their service, professionalism and artistry.

We hired Nick Ford of Integrity Masonry to install Arriscraft stone to the front of our home, to replace the existing EIFS (stucco) that had failed after only a few years.

Throughout the process, we were thoroughly impressed by the quality of the work performed by Integrity Masonry and the professionalism shown by Nick Ford. The final product looks awesome and has already resulted in many compliments.

From our first meeting, it was clear that Nick was exceptional. He is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, hard-working, accommodating and attentive to detail - characteristics that we have found are in short supply in the construction trades. Furthermore, his employees were friendly, skilled, prompt and efficient - also in stark contrast to the numerous other trades we've dealt with.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Nick Ford and Integrity Masonry to anyone looking for top-quality masonry work.

We contacted Nick from Integrity Mason for a quote to repair the bricks on our window sill. He responded very quickly in providing us a quote. Although our job wasn't a big job, his price was reasonable and he was honest with what needed to be fixed or not. On the day of the job, his crew was very meticulous, clean and professional. They cleaned up their equipment upon completion. Integrity Mason is highly recommended.

I contacted Nick from Integrity Masonry in the spring for a quote to replace quite a few spalled bricks and do some repointing work. My neighbour had the brickwork on his house re-done by Integrity and the quality and craftsmanship was impressive.

Nick was incredibly prompt in replying to any inquiries I had and dropped by quickly to do a quote.

When it came time to do the work, Nick and his crew arrived a bit early and took the time to explain to my wife what work they would be doing today. Once I got home, I couldn't even identify the location of where the repointing work was done, as it was blended in so well. As for the spalled bricks, you would never know we ever had a problem there, as Nick and his crew did a wonderful job of blending everything to make it look original.

We are very happy with both the quality of work and the service and professionalism of Nick and his crew. I will highly recommend them to anyone I know needing masonry work done.

Contacted Nick at Integrity Masonry. He responded very quickly and gave me a detailed quote via email. We had a good sized job to do and he did it very well, on budget and in a very timely fashion. Throughout the entire process both Nick and all his crews were highly professional. The work was done much to our satisfaction and would highly recommend Integrity Masonry to anyone in Ottawa that requires brickwork to be done. Thanks Nick

Nick and his crew did a chimney rebuild for me. I found them to be professional, polite honest and very good at what they do. The cost for the rebuild was reasonable and Nick offers a warranty for his work that is twice as long as the other builders I had contacted. I would not hesitate to recommend Integrity Masonary to family and friends. Deal with confidence!
