The Bowman story

A family name on every job

Bowman Masonry began with Guy Bowman’s early interest in masonry, fireplaces and skilled trade work that leaves a lasting mark on a property. After apprenticing with a family friend, Guy built a strong foundation in brickwork, stonework, fireplace construction and restoration, and grew it into Bowman Masonry Restoration Ltd.

Every project is treated as a reflection of the Bowman name. Whether it’s a recent build or a registered historic property, the goal is the same: strong, clean, lasting masonry work.

  • Experience with older Toronto homes and heritage-style properties
  • Company-owned scaffolding systems for suitable projects
  • Clean work sites: every site cleaned before we leave
