Masonry & Stonework
in Muskoka.

Local granite and Canadian Shield fieldstone. Both shrug off freeze-thaw and salt spray from the lake.

Yes. Masonry-only contracts are welcome, especially chimneys, feature walls, and exterior cladding.

Yes. We source matching pile, blend old and new stone, and color-match mortar so repairs disappear into the original.

A full floor-to-ridge fieldstone chimney runs 3 to 5 weeks on site, including footing, frame, set, and point.

Yes. Lime-mortar repointing, cap rebuilds, and crown repairs on heritage chimneys are routine work for us.

A century, easily. The mortar joints need pointing every 40 to 60 years. The stone itself is permanent.

Only with a breathable silane/siloxane sealer when the application calls for it. We never trap moisture behind a film-forming sealer.

Yes. Traditional dry-stack landscape walls up to about 4 feet, drained and pinned to grade. Above that height we recommend a mortared or engineered wall.

Sample panel built on site first, you sign off, then every following section matches that approved panel. Same masons, same source pile, same mortar mix.

We come to the site (or hop on a video call, whichever is easier), walk through the space with you, take measurements and photos, and ask questions about how you actually use the property. There is no sales pitch. You leave the meeting with a clear next-step plan and a rough sense of scope and timing, and we leave with enough information to start putting a real proposal together.

Local sourcing is absolutely an option and something we lean into whenever it makes sense, but it is not the only path. We source based on each client's needs, budget, and the specific goals for their project. Sometimes the right material is a local Muskoka supplier or a nearby millwork shop. Other times it's a specialty product from further away that better fits the look, performance, or lead time. We walk you through the options and make the call together.

A dedicated project manager owns your file from the first conversation through the final walk-through. On the ground you'll see our own carpenters and site lead running the day-to-day, plus vetted trade partners for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and specialty finishes. Everyone on site works to the same standard and reports up through the project manager, so you always know who to call and never get bounced between subs.

You get a single project manager as your point of contact, weekly photo updates so you can see progress even if you're out of town, scheduled check-in calls at major milestones, and any change to scope, timeline, or materials in writing before it happens. Most of our clients live in Toronto or out of province, so the whole process is built to work without you needing to be on site.

Change orders happen on almost every project once things are open and real conditions are visible. When something needs to shift (a hidden condition, a design tweak you want, a material swap) we document exactly what's changing, the impact on schedule, and the impact on the number, then send it to you for sign-off before any work happens. No surprises on the final invoice.

Every day. Site gets broomed and organized at the end of every workday, materials get stored properly, and containment stays in place so dust doesn't migrate through the rest of the house. At the end of the project the site gets a full detail clean before handover, and we do a joint walk-through with you to catch anything that needs a final touch.

A full two-year workmanship warranty on everything we build, in writing, handed to you at closeout along with a maintenance schedule and a folder of all product manuals, paint colours, and finish specs. If something isn't right we come back and fix it, no debate. On new builds you also get the applicable structural warranty coverage on top of that.
