Masonry Services
Our masonry division specializes in brick/block construction, tuck-pointing, and structural repairs for commercial and residential properties. Services include outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, and fireplace installations. With experienced crews serving Toledo, we combine traditional techniques with modern materials to ensure durable, aesthetically pleasing results for both new builds and restoration projects.
Spray Foam Insulation
We install open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation for walls, roofs, and existing structures. This energy-efficient solution improves thermal performance while creating air barriers. Ideal for retrofitting metal buildings or enhancing residential comfort, our certified technicians ensure precise application to meet specific project requirements and building codes.

Our systems resist corrosion, chemicals, and environmental damage, extending asset lifespan. Applications include containment basins, industrial floors, and infrastructure requiring long-term durability against harsh conditions.

Our design-build approach streamlines construction through a single contract covering design and execution phases. This collaborative model reduces project timelines and costs while ensuring alignment between architects, engineers, and builders.

Report
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

Canaan was very professional. Responsive from the initial call to the prompt receipt of the online proposal. I could go on and on about the commercial remodeling project from start to finish. We highly recommend Canaan Comapnies

I had an upstairs living room remodeled and they did an amazing job. They finished everything with care and quality. I will be using them for future remodels and have recommended them to family and friends.
