Recently, we lost the cement cap around the top of our brick chimney. We contacted "The Brick Chick". She came, inspected the job to be done and gave us a couple of alternatives. We decided on one of them; she quickly e-mailed us a reasonable price and we agreed to have it done.
She set a date to do the work, showed up that day and completed the work in a professional manner. We are THRILLED with the job she did and would highly recommend her to anyone needing work to be done.

Julia did an incredible job repairing our front step where stones had fallen off. She has great attention to detail, works quickly, and always communicates promptly! We will definitely hire her again for any similar work that needs to be done in the future! Happy to say that our neighbours are now interested in having her do work for them, as well!

I own a home with a brick front porch that was in need of restoration to remove and replace about 18 - 20 bricks with a mortar refresh. When I asked my gardening team if they knew anyone who could do this job, they referred me to "The Brick Chick" on Instagram. I connected with Julia and she came by for a site visit and chat. She provided a reference (an instructor at the Ontario Masonry Centre gave her a glowing reference); she sent me a proper quote and we set a time and date for the job to be done.

As life will have it, what you think is going to happen did not. As Julia started removing bricks she thought she could save, they crumbled and a 4 hour job morphed into a 10 hour one. She had to buy more bricks and return a day later to complete the job. Each day she completely cleaned up the site and removed all the debris.

Later that week, I found a few spots where mortar was missed and messaged Julia who was very apologetic and promised to come by to patch them up. (I reminded her she had finished the job in the dark!) Julia returned and patched up the little spots. We shook hands and wished each other well.

As you would expect, having safe and stable access to your home is essential and I wondered if I'd made the right decision hiring a contractor via Instagram. My fears were unfounded.

Julia is a very talented skilled trades woman. She committed herself to doing a great job for me and did what she promised to do. I had a good feeling about her on our first meeting: she was enthusiastic, personable and described how she planned to restore my porch with confidence.

I recommend Julia as a top class brick layer and I'd hire her again in a flash. Do your own due diligence but be rest assured, Julia is the real deal!

We first met Julia when she was quoting work for our next door neighbour. She was incredibly pleasant to speak with, thoroughly answered all of our questions, and was very clear about the scope of work. We did our homework after meeting her and I must say that all of the glowing online reviews are certainly warranted. Julia and her team did a beautiful job restoring the brick in our 100+ year old home, they did exactly what they said they would do, and they were also meticulous in cleaning up at the end of the job. We would highly recommend Julia and her team!
