Old-world craftsmanship blended with modern techniques for lasting stonework.
Old-world craftsmanship blended with modern techniques for lasting stonework.

Stone masonry is our craft, and every Guildstone project is designed to create one-of-a-kind natural stone features that enhance your home, cottage, landscape, or property and complement their surroundings.

Guildstone was created from a deep respect for the craft of stone masonry — a trade shaped by centuries of masters who carved, lifted, and laid each stone with intention. Their work still stands today in castles, bridges, churches, and old-world homes that time could not break. At Guildstone, that legacy is not only remembered — it’s carried forward with every project we build.
Based in Burlington and serving the GTHA, Southern Ontario, and the Cottage Country region in and near Parry Sound, Guildstone specializes in natural stone masonry using materials such as full bed limestone, fieldstone, granite, sandstone, and precast. These materials have shaped the architectural identity of Ontario homes, estates, and lakefront properties for generations — and they remain the foundation of our work today.
After nearly 25 years as a stone mason, I’ve learned that great masonry is more than installation. It’s a discipline. A tradition. A commitment to precision, proportion, and patience. I’ve spent my entire career studying how the old masters worked: how they shaped stone by hand, how they kept courses aligned, made everything symmetrical, and how they chose the perfect piece for the perfect place. Guildstone exists to pay homage to those masons, to honour their craftsmanship, and to keep their legacy alive in the homes, estates, cottages, and landscapes we build today.
Every Guildstone project is crafted with that same respect for tradition — combined with modern techniques, high-performance materials, and a perfectionist’s eye for detail. We typically take on projects up to 1,000–1,500 sq. ft. of stonework, depending on the material and design, to ensure each build receives the level of attention and quality that true masonry demands. Timelines matter, and so does craftsmanship; Guildstone is structured so you never have to sacrifice one for the other.
Our work spans custom exterior stone facades, custom fireplaces, interior stone features, architectural stone details, landscape stonework, and cottage/lakefront stone installations. Whether working with builders, architects, designers, or homeowners, my goal is simple:
To create meaningful, one-of-a-kind stonework that becomes a permanent part of someone’s story.
Whether it’s a grand entrance, a lakeside fireplace, a feature wall, or a handcrafted facade, each stone is placed with care, intention, and the pride of someone who truly loves the craft.
Guildstone is not just a business — it’s a continuation of a centuries-old tradition.
It’s a promise that every project will be built with integrity, precision, and the timeless beauty that defines true masonry.
This is the work I believe in.
This is the craft I honour.
This is Guildstone.

Guildstone is different because our work begins long before the first stone is set. We take the time to understand your vision, the style of your home or cottage, and the way the stone should feel within its surroundings.
With nearly 25 years of experience, we provide reliable, professional service backed by old-world craftsmanship and modern execution. From the first consultation to the final clean-up, every detail is handled with care.
Fully qualified and committed to exceptional workmanship, Guildstone ensures your project is completed to local building codes and the timeless standards of traditional masonry.

When you schedule a consultation with Guildstone, we provide complete transparency from the very beginning. Depending on your project, we offer either a detailed written quote or an estimated range outlining minimum and maximum costs.
Some projects require estimated ranges due to their complexity and the time needed to source the perfect materials. No two stone projects are ever the same — and timelines can vary depending on design, access, and stone availability. In many cases, finding the right stone to complement your home or cottage may take time, care, and miles of searching.
Every detail is discussed upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before your custom stonework begins.

Guildstone stands behind every stone we place. We believe confidence should go both ways — in our craftsmanship and in your investment. For that reason, every project includes a two-year warranty covering both materials and workmanship.
We are fully insured, WSIB compliant, and committed to delivering a safe, responsible, and professional experience from start to finish.

Every project is approached with the client in mind — built with precision, care, and a commitment to creating a unique, tailor-made stone feature that will last a lifetime.
Whether your project involves a fireplace, entrance, landscape feature, retaining wall, or a fully custom design, we identify the right course of action and recommend the best materials and methods for your home or cottage. You can trust that every detail will be completed properly, professionally, and to your full satisfaction.

Sorry, but no. GUILDSTONE focuses exclusively on new, creative, and custom stone masonry projects.
We can—only if it connects to a new stone feature or structure. We typically doesn’t take on stand-alone porch jobs.
Stone masonry is our specialty and it's where our passion lies. Like an artist strokes the canvas with a brush or a cowboy wrangles the herd in the morning dew, we love to chip and shape every rock with precision and care to beautify any new feature or structure.
Natural stone is GUILDSTONE's first and absolute preference. If faux stone is required, Arriscraft is our recommended choice. We no longer takes on projects using thin veneers or concrete stone products.
Yes—when it complements a stone project. GUILDSTONE has completed many brick jobs, but our primary focus is stonework. GUILDSTONE does not take on brick-only projects.
Same as brick: block work is accepted only if it ties in with a stone masonry feature.
I strive to stay in constant communication with our clients until the job is complete. To get a free quote—or if you have questions or special requests—just send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you.
I answer the phone Monday to Saturday—unless I'm sleeping!
Sundays are recovery days to recharge for the week ahead.
