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.

Stonehenge did a great job installing a stone mantelpiece for us. The installer took great care to do an A+ job, even going so far as to use a brand new drop sheet to keep the worksite clean. The end result looks really nice. We received prompt and courteous help from their office throughout the process. I recommend them without reservation 🙂

A 5 star is warranted for Stonehenge. Our job was small however important. They were totally professional and prompt with their replies and with the service. Looking at the job after completion you can hardly tell anything had to be fixed in the first place. Most important is after they had left you couldn't even tell they had been there.Highly recommend.

Super professional and organized. Very easy to deal with, I was impressed with how quickly I got a quote (and the price was very reasonable). The office staff is nice and prompt with issuing receipts and booking work etc. The guy who did the work was professional and explained things to me clearly, and did an excellent job. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and I would absolutely return to them in the future.

Very professional communication, excellent service and reasonable prices. We wad several services provided to repair service cracks and pointing sill joints around windows and parchment. We had a window sill replaced as it was leaning towards the house and not towards the exterior. The work was completed in a very timely manner and the Masons made sure we didn’t have any other issues we were very happy to find a reliable service for our new home and would recommend Stonehenge to anyone that needs Masonry services.
