Masonry Contractor
Our masonry division specializes in block and brick construction, cultured stone installations, and outdoor living spaces. We handle tuck-pointing, concrete repairs, and structural modifications for both historic restorations and new builds. With certified crews serving Toledo and surrounding areas, we deliver durable, aesthetically pleasing solutions for residential patios, commercial facades, and industrial structures while maintaining strict quality standards.
Spray Foam Insulation
We provide open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation for residential and commercial buildings. Our certified technicians apply energy-efficient solutions in wall cavities, roof systems, and existing metal structures. This advanced insulation method improves thermal performance, reduces energy costs, and creates effective air barriers for both new constructions and retrofit projects across northwest Ohio.

These systems protect manholes, tanks, and utility infrastructure while meeting strict environmental compliance standards in Ohio.

The Canaan team created a custom tile master shower replacing the old molded shower stall. Communications at all points were clear and timely. The plumber identified the need for larger feed lines and accomplished the work within budget. The tile work was well beyond expectations, a true work of art.

We did a bathroom remodel that included a tub to shower replacement. They worked with us when we wanted to do some of the work ourselves and got their work finished within the timeframe they promised! Their suggestions were very helpful when we had decisions to make that we were unsure of. We would definitely recommend this company and use them again.

I was in need of a repair to my lower chimney wood box due to extensive raccoon damage. Canaan was one of the few places that actually responded right away and gave me a quality estimate and I felt like they understood what the problem was. There was structural integrity damage. They are busy so it did take a little bit of time to get scheduled out when I was able to move forward; however, when the crew was here it was clear they knew what they were doing. Mike came to personally hand the project off. The crew was efficient and quick. I could hear them tag-team communicating on what needed done

Got the bullet liner sprayed in my new truck. In and out in 4 hours, that's impressive! Liner turned out great. Would recommend for sure.
