From our office in Mississauga we cover the GTA and Southern Ontario: Niagara, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Barrie, Newcastle and everywhere in between.
Is your workforce unionized?
Yes. Trican is a unionized masonry contractor. Our field workforce is represented by LiUNA Local 183.
Are you in good standing with WSIB?
Yes. Trican is in good standing with the WSIB, and a current clearance certificate is available on request.
Do you supply materials or only install?
Both. Most of our contracts are supply and install, which keeps material take-offs, deliveries and installation under one point of responsibility.
How do I get a price?
Use the Request a Quote form and attach or link the drawings, or email [email protected]. Tell us the closing date and the scope you want priced.
Can you provide references or examples of past work?
Yes. See our Projects section for examples, and ask us for builder and general contractor references relevant to your project type.
How do you manage quality on site?
Trican site supervisors oversee timelines, workmanship and safety on every project, with regular inspections through the job.
What happens after the masonry is finished?
We have always treated after-sale service as part of the job. If a builder or general contractor needs us back for a service item, contact the office and we will schedule it.
Do you take on homeowner repairs or small residential jobs?
Our work is contracted through builders, developers and general contractors. We are generally not set up for individual homeowner repairs.
