Chimneys

About Chimney Work

We have dedicated crews who focus only on chimneys. Every chimney job is accessed using properly constructed scaffolding which complies fully with provincial safety standards. All our masons and labourers have completed Working at Heights training, and they maintain their certification yearly. Being able to access every chimney safely requires many components and equipment which are hard to source and costly to buy but we have the right equipment available in our job trailers and plenty more at our main compound.

The most important part of a chimney is the cap. A chimney is a hole in your house to vent out, but it is also a place where water and weather can get in. Because of this, the installation and maintenance of the chimney cap is of crucial importance. We always install a two-stage cap. The basic cap is made of Arriscraft stone, installed with the proper overhang and a drip edge. On top of that, we add a custom aluminum cap to create an impermeable surface that prevents any water infiltration. We seal around the flues or vents with a heat-resistant caulking that resists cracking despite the Canadian weather extremes.

All our chimney jobs are fully guaranteed.

The bricks under our bay window were losing their veneer, and were actually crumbling. Who knew that the base bricks were so soft and prone to disintegrating (22 years). Stonehenge Masonry to the rescue. In 2 days Tim and Ryan transformed this mess into a thing of beauty. They were VERY professional and a credit to their profession. Highly recommended (and the cost was very reasonable).

I had a great experience with Stonhenge Masonry. Their work was outstanding and their price was reasaonnable. Dan, the owner, really impressed me. He gave me creative options to renovate my porch and meet my needs within my budget. He and Dereck did a really good job. The porch was in dire need if repair and now looks great! Kirsha, the office manager, represents the company so well. She is efficient, attentive, customer oriented and great to deal with. No wonder this company currently get a 4.9 average. I gave them a well deserved 5 which is rare for anyone.

It’s hard to get anyone to show up for a small job. Start to finish, Stonehenge treated me like the most important client they had. The best service and workmanship I’ve seen in a long time. I would strongly recommend them without hesitation.
