From exterior walls to elegant fireplaces, these contractors will get it done. We’ll answer some FAQs about masonry contractors as well, so stick around to the end of the article.
The Cost of Masonry in Edmonton
There are a number of factors that determine the cost of masonry. A definitive range may be difficult to put together, since an on-site inspection and consultation is necessary for a more accurate estimate.
However, you can check out the table below for an overview of the average costs for certain kinds of masonry work. Note that these include costs for material and labor.
As you may have noticed, the square footage of a project is a key factor in determining the costs. Of course, the necessary materials to be used for the project also play a role.
Masons also charge labor by the hour. Expect to pay around $144 per hour for labor for experienced ones.

And while it may be undeniable that they are the best when it comes to masonry design and quality restorations, it’s still evident how much attention they put into other aspects of their work.

They have a wide range of services on offer. These include brick work, stone work, block work, and the related services and repairs for each.
We think their portfolio of external commercial improvements and designs is impressive. Among them are their work for various shops, restaurants, and apartments in Edmonton, Leduc, Jasper Plaza, and Sherwood Park.
These commercial projects include signages, siding improvements, natural stone accents, architectural elements, and restoration of soffits and fascia.
Their residential projects are just as varied, each looking really polished. If you’d like to improve your home by adding pillars, feature walls, or chimney repairs, we think they’re worth giving a call.
Speaking of residential projects, we really like their modern approaches to design and materials.
They offer tiered plans for 3D exterior renders of your house showing various materials. This is helpful, especially if you’re still undecided on what material to use.
Another innovation they have on offer is EIFS, or External Insulated Finishing System. We think clients will appreciate it since it’s designed in a way that could help lower heating and cooling bills.
It’s also worth noting that a lot of their clients contacted them for help fixing damage or addressing emergency issues in houses. Since they specialize in stucco repairs, they’re a top choice for insurance claims and repairs.
Many of their past clients told us that the company’s team arrived quickly when they got called in for an emergency repair assessment. Incidentally, they’ve been called in for water damage and stucco repair jobs.
And lastly, if you are more of the DIY type, we should also note that they sell various stone products.

Impeccable service
“I had an emergency stucco repair job needed so I called Met. Ercan came over within an hour and assessed the damage. He came out with his team the next day and not only addressed the issue but also helped fix some minor stucco issues. I highly recommend this company as the service was impeccable!”––Justin Cenaiko
Fair price
“One of the best home improvement decisions we have made was to pick Met Exteriors as our stucco contractor. Ercan and his team did a great job in responding to our phone calls and e-mails, and executing the renovation plan agreed upon on the stucco of our house. We are satisfied with the quality of the stucco they have applied around our house, the workmanship they have put from the removal of the old stucco to the proper application of the new stucco exterior, and the fair price they have provided us.”––Mike Bolilia

Rocker Masonry Ltd. is among the region’s leading masonry specialists, and it’s no wonder. The company has been booked for numerous commercial projects across Edmonton and has testaments to its expertise all over the city.
The projects include their work for 1700 Keen Crescent, Karo Building, Parsons Center, and Village at Summerside, just to mention a few from their growing list.
It’s understandable why they get booked for such projects because they also specialize in elevator shafts and firewalls as well.
While they’ve been proven to be great for commercial projects, we think they’re great for private residences as well. This is because they cater to clients in need of chimney rebuilds, or just about any block or stone work needed.
Many of their past clients have remarked on the quality of their service. They cite that it was always a pleasure to have them take care of their masonry needs.
We like their fair pricing for the quality they have on offer. This was also a consensus among the clients we polled.
And finally, to make it easier to get projects underway, they are open to addressing cost inquiries online through their website. Again, that’s appreciated, as are the quick responses to quote requests.
Pros
- Plenty of commercial experience
- Specializes in elevator shafts as well
- Offers chimney rebuilds
Cons

Jeff MacLeod and Josh Hallen founded J and J Coatings in 2007 because they felt it was time to use their extensive experience as parging contractors to start their own business.
This company specializes in new parging applications for residential and commercial buildings and repairs to existing parging.
We were particularly impressed by their 30-year warranty on all their labor and materials, which we believe shows their confidence in their products. We also like that this service is free of charge.
We would also like to highlight that they can also accommodate clients in Sherwood Park, Saint Albert, Fort Saskatchewan, and many more.
In our opinion, their broad service area coverage is particularly appealing because customers from various locations can use their parging services.
Another point worth mentioning is their extensive work portfolio. We believe that interested customers will benefit from seeing examples of previous projects they have completed.
Now, we’d like to mention that they have a limited project capacity. We also wish they had an online booking system so customers could reserve their slots immediately.
Nonetheless, we felt J and J Coatings deserved a spot on our list because they offer new parging applications and repairs with a solid warranty.
Pros
- Years of experience
- Open 24 hours
- 30-year warranty
- Specializes in new parging and parging repairs
- Comprehensive work portfolio
- Wide service area coverage
Cons

All in all it went very smoothly and quickly!
“Our parging job was done by ROYL parging with ease and efficiency. Sumeyra answered my initial request promptly and was able to set up a quick site visit by Riza so that she could provide us with an estimate for the job. Once we hired them, Riza was at our place within two days and worked over six hours straight in order to finish all the work in a day. He even showed up unexpectedly two days later to check on it because he was doing another estimate nearby for a neighbour. Sumeyra also followed up with me right afterwards and made sure I was happy with the work. All in all it went very smoothly and quickly! They seem like a hard working small business and were very pleasant to deal with. Thanks Sumeyra and Riza!” – Stephanie Crawford
Riza and Sumeyra were great to work with
