DinoMac Masonry Ltd. is a family-run Prince Edward Island masonry company known across the Island for natural stonework, heritage restoration, chimney repair and the kind of masonry work where experience and judgment matter just as much as the materials.
Over the years, DinoMac has built a long-standing island-wide reputation for workmanship, straightforward advice and attention to detail, becoming PEI's highest-rated masonry contractor on Google.
Masonry is a trade where a reputation takes years to build and one poor job can follow a contractor just as long. DinoMac's growth has come from repeat customers, referrals and work that people are comfortable putting our name behind.
DinoMac holds the distinction of being Prince Edward Island's highest-rated masonry contractor on Google, backed by strong customer reviews and a long-standing reputation for quality workmanship, reliability and professional service.
From Bonshaw and Charlottetown to projects farther across PEI, DinoMac has become a recognized name for stone, chimney and restoration work.
DinoMac Masonry is listed with the Construction Association of Prince Edward Island and works within the broader Island construction and restoration community.
DinoMac's approach to masonry comes from generations of family stonemasonry knowledge. That matters because masonry is not simply a matter of mixing mortar and laying units in a straight line.
The mason has to understand how stone bears, how mortar behaves, how water moves through a wall, where freeze-thaw damage begins, how an older building was originally put together and when a modern repair method may do more harm than good.
Traditional trade knowledge remains central to the work, but DinoMac also uses modern cutting, dust-control, access and restoration equipment where it can improve efficiency, accuracy and the finished result.
We do not believe every crack means a rebuild, and we do not believe every old wall should be patched and forgotten.
The job is to understand what has failed, why it failed and what repair gives the owner the best long-term result.
Sometimes that means repointing. Sometimes it means selective rebuilding. Sometimes it means telling a customer the masonry is not the source of the problem at all.
Natural stone is durable, individual and unforgiving. Good stonework depends on proportion, layout, jointing and knowing when to let the stone determine the design.
Natural stone veneer, entrance pillars, gate pillars, walls, steps, flagstone, fireplaces and custom architectural stone features.
Older stonework can often be preserved rather than replaced. DinoMac repairs deteriorated joints, rebuilds unstable sections, replaces failed stones where necessary and works to retain sound original material.
That combination of new stone construction and restoration experience is particularly useful on PEI, where many older homes, churches and public buildings contain original masonry worth saving.
Natural Stone Masonry
DinoMac has worked on churches, schoolhouses, private estates, older homes and other historic buildings throughout Prince Edward Island.
Heritage masonry requires a different mindset from new construction. Older brick and stone can be damaged by mortars that are too hard, impermeable coatings, aggressive cleaning or repairs that ignore how the original wall was designed to manage moisture.
The goal is not to make an old building look newly built. It is to repair what has failed, preserve what is worth preserving and make the work look like it belongs.

Discuss a project →If a repair is appropriate, we will explain it. If the work needs more extensive rebuilding, we will explain why. If the masonry is not the actual problem, we would rather tell you that than sell the wrong repair.
Joint depth, mortar selection, stone layout, water management and finishing details are what separate work that merely looks acceptable today from masonry intended to last.
Whether the project is a residential chimney or a historic building, the masonry should fit the property and the finished work should look deliberate rather than patched together.
ModuStone grew from the same masonry experience behind DinoMac. The company designs and manufactures modular outdoor fire pits, fireplaces and outdoor kitchens with the goal of bringing substantial, masonry-based outdoor features into a repeatable product system.
It is a separate company, but the design thinking comes from years of building and repairing real masonry.
