Stone Haven Developments delivers professional masonry services in Trowbridge, ON, covering brick and stone restoration, chimney repair, new construction, and full-service general contracting across North Perth Township. With 17 years of union-trained masonry experience, founder Matthew Howe and his team provide consistent, high-quality results for homeowners, rural property owners, contractors, and developers throughout Perth County and Southwestern Ontario.
Trowbridge is a small community within North Perth Township, set among the rural landscapes of Perth County. Many properties here were built to last, using brick and stone construction methods that have held up well over time. But that durability has a limit, and that limit eventually shows up in deteriorating mortar joints, cracked chimneys, settling stone foundations, and other masonry issues that require a skilled hand to address properly. Stone Haven Developments serves Trowbridge as part of an active service area that covers North Perth and broader Southwestern Ontario, bringing 17 years of trade experience to every project.

Stone Haven Developments delivers a complete range of masonry, restoration, and general contracting services to clients in Trowbridge and across North Perth. The scope of services reflects both our trade expertise and our broader capability as a full-service general contractor.
Trowbridge properties with deteriorating brick or stone require more than a cosmetic fix. Our restoration team conducts a thorough assessment to identify moisture pathways, structural movement, and mortar failure before recommending a repair approach that addresses root causes and extends the life of the masonry by decades when done correctly. The National Research Council of Canada identifies freeze-thaw cycling as the primary driver of masonry deterioration in Ontario’s climate, making early, properly scoped restoration essential for rural Perth County properties.
New masonry installations, repairs to existing brickwork, and structural block builds all fall within Stone Haven’s brickwork services. We work across residential, commercial, and agricultural applications in Trowbridge and the North Perth area, with material selection and construction methods matched to long-term Ontario climate performance.
A chimney that has deteriorated beyond basic repointing is a liability on a property. Stone Haven’s chimney repair service handles the full repair spectrum, from targeted mortar joint replacement to complete chimney removal and rebuild. Every repair is done to code and built to last through Ontario’s most demanding seasons. The Wood Heat Organization recommends annual inspections for wood-burning chimneys, noting that untreated crown and mortar deterioration accelerates structural failure significantly in climates with pronounced freeze-thaw cycling.
Stone Haven handles new residential and commercial builds in Trowbridge and North Perth as a full general contractor. Our new construction service covers project planning, trade coordination, masonry scope, and quality oversight through to completion. Clients who want a reliable single-contractor experience for their new build find this particularly valuable.
For business owners, institutions, or agricultural operations in Trowbridge requiring masonry work on commercial or industrial structures, our commercial masonry team delivers the kind of precision and project coordination that commercial builds require. We handle the scope, the documentation, and the scheduling without needing constant oversight from the client.
Property owners who want professional oversight of their construction or renovation project without managing it themselves benefit from Stone Haven’s project management service. We coordinate every element of the project from a single point of accountability, keeping you informed and the work moving forward on schedule.
Trowbridge is a rural community situated within North Perth Township, part of Perth County in Southwestern Ontario. It lies in the agricultural heartland of the region, surrounded by farmland and the kinds of properties that carry real character in their older brick and stone construction. North Perth Township itself encompasses several small communities and is governed from Listowel, the township’s largest urban centre.
Like many small communities in Perth County, Trowbridge attracts property owners who value the quieter rural lifestyle and the strong sense of community that comes with it. Maintaining older properties in this environment requires tradespeople who are willing to travel to the work and who have the skill set to handle heritage-era masonry correctly. According to Statistics Canada, North Perth Township has seen population growth over recent census periods as families relocate from larger urban centres, increasing demand for skilled renovation and restoration trades across the region. Stone Haven Developments fills that role across the North Perth area, operating out of Stratford with established supplier relationships throughout Perth County.
Stone Haven Developments serves a focused range of clients in and around Trowbridge. Our work centers on building long-term trust through consistent quality and clear communication.
Tell us about your project and we will get back to you quickly with an honest assessment of how we can help.
Choosing a masonry contractor in a small rural community like Trowbridge means choosing carefully. The pool of qualified, reliable contractors who will travel to the area and deliver consistent quality is limited. Here is why Stone Haven has earned the trust of property owners across North Perth.
Stone Haven’s founder Matthew Howe started as a union mason in Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto, spending years in the trade before building his own company. The company reflects that foundation at every level, from how we assess a project to how we source materials and manage the execution.
Stone Haven is not limited to masonry trade work. We provide building development services, professional construction consulting, project management, and land acquisition support. For property owners who need a contractor who can think beyond the masonry scope, Stone Haven is a natural fit.
We offer post-completion rework coverage of up to two years. This is not a standard offering in the contracting industry. It reflects the quality standard we set for ourselves and the confidence we have in our completed work.
One of the most cited frustrations with contractors is the lack of updates once work has started. At Stone Haven, clear and regular communication is a baseline expectation, not an optional feature. You will know the status of your project without having to chase us down to find out.
In addition to Trowbridge, Stone Haven is active across our full service area throughout Southwestern Ontario, including:
Trowbridge property owners deserve a masonry contractor who shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and delivers work that stands up over time. Stone Haven Developments brings all of that to every project in North Perth, with the added capability of a full-service general contractor for clients who need more than just the masonry scope covered.

Reach out to discuss your project and confirm scheduling.
Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with fresh mortar. This is appropriate when the brick or stone units themselves are still structurally sound. A full rebuild is required when the masonry units have shifted, cracked, or collapsed to the point where repointing alone cannot restore structural integrity. Our chimney repair service covers both, and we assess which option is appropriate during the initial site visit so you have a clear picture before any work begins.
Key indicators of stone foundation problems include horizontal cracks, bowing or bulging walls, water infiltration at the base of interior walls, and significant settling in floors or door frames. Minor hairline cracks are often manageable with targeted repair, while more significant structural movement typically requires partial or full foundation wall reconstruction. Our restoration team provides an honest assessment and recommends only what the scope genuinely requires. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation offers homeowner guidance on foundation inspection that can help you document what you are seeing before a professional visit.
Absolutely. We provide written quotes based on a site assessment with no obligation to proceed. You can reach us by phone at 519-807-7529 or through our contact form to request an assessment. We want you to have the full picture before making any decisions.
Yes. Stone Haven operates as a full general contractor for new construction projects in addition to masonry trade work.
