What we do
From a crumbling chimney to a brand-new stone build, De Rose Masonry has handled it all for over 60 years. Every job — big or small — gets the same hands-on care.
We work with brick, stone, concrete, and mortar the way our family always has — with patience, skill, and pride. No shortcuts, no subcontractors. When you hire De Rose, you get De Rose.
Bring old brickwork back to life
Cracked mortar, spalling brick, and failing joints are more than cosmetic problems — left untreated, they let water in and cause serious structural damage. We repoint, rebuild, and restore brick walls, facades, and foundations to their original strength and appearance.
Safe, solid, and watertight
A deteriorating chimney is a fire and water hazard. We rebuild crowns, replace flashing, repoint mortar joints, and repair or rebuild chimney stacks from the roofline up. We work on all chimney types — wood-burning, gas, and decorative.
Stone and brick built from the ground up
Whether you're adding a stone retaining wall, a brick garden feature, or a full masonry exterior to a new home, we design and build it to last. We work closely with homeowners and contractors to deliver clean, precise masonry that complements any property.
Driveways, patios, and foundations done right
From stamped decorative patios to plain concrete driveways and retaining walls, we pour, finish, and seal concrete that holds up to Grey Bruce winters. We handle residential and light commercial work across the region.
Natural stone paths, patios & entries
Flagstone adds timeless character to any outdoor space. We source and lay natural stone for patios, walkways, steps, and entryways — set in mortar or dry-laid depending on your preference and site conditions.
A clean, protective coat for concrete & block
Parging is the mortar coating applied to concrete block, poured concrete, and stone foundations. It protects against moisture, improves appearance, and extends the life of your foundation. We repair failing parge coats and apply fresh ones that bond properly and last.
Keep water out — for good
Water is masonry's biggest enemy. We apply professional-grade waterproofing membranes and sealers to foundations, retaining walls, and below-grade masonry to stop leaks before they start. We also diagnose and repair existing water infiltration problems.
