Martini Stone Masonry Ltd is an Alberta-incorporated masonry company that repairs, restores and builds brick, stone, chimney, fireplace, parging and stucco systems for residential and commercial properties across Calgary, Cochrane, Airdrie, Okotoks, Canmore and Banff.
Owner Astrit Martinaj brings more than 20 years of hands-on masonry experience to every assessment, and each project starts the same way: an on-site review of the actual masonry condition, followed by a written estimate that defines the scope, materials and project-specific conditions before work begins.
Masonry Services
Martini Stone Masonry provides six core masonry services. Each service page explains the common problems, repair methods, materials and completed local projects, so property owners can match the visible condition to the right scope of work.
Custom indoor and outdoor fireplace construction, exterior chimney brick repair, repointing, crown work and partial or full chimney rebuilds above the roofline.
Explore Fireplace & Chimney Masonry →Concrete chimney crowns and custom-fabricated metal chimney caps that stop water entry at the top of the chimney, the most common starting point of chimney deterioration in Calgary.
Explore Chimney Caps →Damaged brick replacement, mortar-joint repointing and tuckpointing for chimneys, walls, façades and retaining walls, with colour and material matching to the existing masonry.
Explore Brick Repair & Tuckpointing →Foundation parging repair, resurfacing and new cement-based parge-coat installation for cracked, loose or unfinished concrete foundation walls.
Explore Parging Repair →Exterior stucco crack repair, EIFS restoration, hail and impact damage repair, and texture matching for walls, chimneys and architectural features.
Explore Stucco Repair →Complete exterior masonry renovation planning that combines stone, brick, stucco and parging into one coordinated project, including hail-proof exterior upgrades.
Explore Exterior Renovations →Start With the Problem
Masonry problems overlap, and property owners rarely need to know the trade terminology before calling. Start with the visible condition, and the assessment confirms the correct scope.
Cracked, loose or flaking bricks usually indicate water entry or mortar failure. Brick replacement, repointing and tuckpointing restore the wall.
Brick Repair & Tuckpointing → 02Rusted caps, cracked crowns and open flashing let water into the chimney core. Concrete and metal replacement options are compared side by side.
Chimney Caps → 03Flaking, hollow or missing parging at the base of the wall is repaired, resurfaced or replaced with a new cement-based parge coat.
Parging Repair → 04Spider-web cracking, bottom-edge deterioration and hail impact marks are cut out, repaired and texture-matched to the surrounding wall.
Stucco Repair → 05When more than one surface needs attention, masonry, stucco and parging work is coordinated into a single planned project.

Why Martini
Masonry in Calgary fails for predictable reasons: freeze-thaw cycles that expand water inside brick and mortar, summer hail that breaks exterior finishes, and incompatible previous repairs that trap moisture. Martini Stone Masonry plans every repair around those conditions.
The existing masonry, substrate, moisture exposure and previous repairs are inspected before any scope is recommended, so temporary patches are never sold as permanent fixes.
Brick, stone, mortar and coating materials are selected for compatibility with the existing masonry and Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles, which can swing from -30°C winters to +30°C summers.
Every estimate documents the recommended work, materials and project-specific conditions in writing before construction starts.
Martini Stone Masonry Ltd is Alberta incorporated (Corp. Access #2024268852), carries $2,000,000 in liability insurance per occurrence ($5,000,000 aggregate), holds $2,000,000 in non-owned auto coverage, and is registered with the Workers’ Compensation Board of Alberta (WCB Account #8180853).

Astrit and his team did an excellent job repairing my chimney crown and cap. They were professional, honest, responsive, and worked very hard for several hours to make sure everything was done properly. I really appreciated that they repaired and reinforced the existing cap instead of pushing for a full replacement. Pricing was fair and reasonable as well. The communication was smooth, the work area was cleaned afterward, and the final result looks great. Highly recommend Martini Stone Masonry!
We chose Astrit and Martini Stone Masonry to complete our fireplace renovation project in our home. Astrit was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He allowed the vision and design to be our own while still offering guidance and answering all questions that we had. The project took two days and they took great care in the placement of the stones, completing the grouting, and also ensuring they took care of our home. We would recommend Martini Stone Masonry to anyone looking to complete a fireplace project!
The Martini team came to our home and repaired parging, repointed stonework, replaced several cracked tiles, and repaired cracks in the tiles of our screened-in porch. Everyone on the team was professional, hardworking, and eager to do a great job. The workmanship was excellent, and we are very happy with the results. Thank you, I highly recommend this team.
I had a wonderful experience with Astrit and his team. They were able to repair my exterior stone facade in a timely manner. I was having issues sourcing the stone but somehow Astrit managed to find something similar and it looks great!

We had Martini Stone Masonry complete parging repair on our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and detail-oriented.

Communication was clear, the job was done on time, and everything was cleaned up beautifully afterward.
We called Martini Stone Masonry to do a few small stucco repairs. Astrit made suggestions on how to improve an old pool wall that was collapsing. He went above and beyond what we expected, and we are very pleased with the workmanship and results.
Can’t recommend Astrit and his team highly enough. He went the extra mile on my chimney repair this winter, battling the weather windows and working into the darkness some nights to get things weatherproofed. There was great communication throughout, fair pricing and we’re super happy with the end product.
So glad to have found Astrit and team. A pleasure to have around and very beautiful work. We love our stone work!
