Story

Alpine Masonry

Alpine Masonry is a small, family-run masonry business with a 30-year history of providing fine craftsmanship and exceptional service. We value quality over volume, taking extra time to ensure that each detail is to our client’s full satisfaction.

Specializing in heritage restoration and exterior masonry makeovers, we enjoy realizing creative designs, as well as bringing renewed life to historic buildings. Our work continues the time honored tradition of masonry craftsmanship.

Mike Donelle

Alpine Masonry is led by founder Mike Donelle, an expert mason with over 35 years of on-site experience. Mike began his masonry training at the age of 15, while growing up in his hometown of New Brunswick. He moved to Toronto to apprentice with a local masonry company before launching Alpine Masonry in 1994.

Mike’s lifelong passion for the trade has been the driving force behind the business. His focus has always been on client satisfaction and meticulous craftsmanship. Over the years, Mike has trained a number of young apprentices, passing on the increasingly rare skills of expert masonry.

"My goal is to build a great team of people who thrive on being the best that they can be. It's important to me that we build great long-lasting careers in the company while providing high quality workmanship in the most efficient way. We aim to provide the best customer service in the industry! ""

Testimonials

Masonry Work

"Mike and the team from Alpine Masonry were simply amazing. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure one of the final steps in our home addition went as smoothly as possible. They always arrived as scheduled with a very friendly and positive attitude. They were very diligent with the preparation work to make sure behind the scenes was up to code and more. In our case, some corners had been cut by the contractor and Mike made sure all of these were properly taken care of. Mike took the time to show us several mock-ups of how different mortar colour will actually change the colour of the brick. This resulted in a phenomenal job of blending the new brickwork in with the original 1940’s brick in terms of brick colour/size and the very important mortar thickness/colour. Any changes to the scope were openly discussed in a fair and reasonable manner before proceeding to ensure there were no surprises. This resulted in the project being completed as expected in terms of schedule and budget, and the quality of the workmanship was second to none. Mike and his team were meticulous, and the results speak for themselves. We have and will continue to recommend Mike and Alpine Masonry to our closest friends and neighbours. Thanks for making the often difficult and challenging home renovation experience a very pleasant one!"

President Colewood Construction

Masonry Restoration

"As a senior project manager with SCE Construction Management Inc., I have had the pleasure to work closely with Mike Donelle of Alpine Masonry Inc. for approximately 7 years. In particular two existing high end custom homes which required extensive alterations including detailed restoration work. These projects had a combined total construction cost of over 20 million dollars. Mike and his team have proven to be both highly skilled and professional. These types of projects bring numerous site condition challenges and Alpine has met all of my expectations. As a result I have seen up close the highly skilled work that Mike and his team bring to these job sites and the quality of the finished product that these types of client demand. Mike and his team work well with other trades and conduct themselves in a professional manner. Based on Alpine’s work completed for SCE, I will continue to use this company for all future projects."
