Wilkens Contracting Inc

Delayed the service until the new windows were installed.
Some additional work needed to be done. Allan was on time to start, finished fast (less than a day). spotted the break in the out side water line.

Very professional from the first call to the last point on the wall. Allan was timely, friendly & communicative. He left the site clean and was very knowledgeable about his craft. The end result, his work, was excellent. was I would definitely hire Wilkens again!

Professional, excellent work ( I am a real estate agent and see a lot of shoddy workmanship) and did not exceed the estimate, which was considerably lower than other quote i received. Extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Wilkens.

I am very pleased with the tuck pointing and stone stair work done. The estimate was reasonable and given in a timely fashion, the work done shortly after. The fellows who did the work were very conscientious, tidy and showed me their work with pride. I highly recommend Wilkens Contracting.

Have used them more than once, they are conscientious, reasonable in cost and went out of their way to make sure a particular aspect of the job was done right.

Had a great experience with Wilkens. Everyone that I spoke to/dealt with were extremely helpful. Was originally told that it may take 5 weeks to have the job done. But because of the size they were able to squeeze in my job within two weeks. The job was done quickly and professionally. And the quality of workmanship provided by Allan was great. Will definitely use them again in the future.

I have lived in my three-storey, 1909 brick house since 1988, and whenever I've needed masonry work done, I've used Wilkens. Ernie (the patriarch of this family firm) writes detailed quotes that include sensible commentary regarding work to be done (he's twice told me NOT to do something as the stone was doing just fine). His workers are talented, careful, perfectionists who do top quality work. They are always willing to take the time to explain what they are doing. And they leave the worksite absolutely clean. I can't recommend this firm highly enough.

Allan returned to our home to do tuckpointing after 10 years. Although we are both a little greyer, I found Allan to be as efficient, professional and detail oriented as a decade ago. The work on the chimney was more extensive than originally estimated but he stayed on the job all day to get it done. I recommend Wilkens Contracting for all tuck pointing requirements.

This is the second time we have used Wilkens Contracting; the first time was to rebuild our chimney. Both experiences have been very positive. Alan, the workman who did the job, tuckpointed the side and parts of the front of our house. He was on time, explained everything clearly to us, was considerate of us and of our neighbours during the process, and left the site clean when he was done. The final bill was exactly the sum quoted to us, and we appreciated the follow up call to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. There's no question we would use Wilkens again.

Our house was built approx. 1920.

Ernie made a plan for a general repair and tuck point of the house - several bricks were replaced and the joints addressed along with mortar repair.

Ernie and his staff observed old Toronto Hydro power lines across the back of the house - they identified this as a hazard and decided to pause until the power lines were removed.

I had always thought the lines were dead - but they were LIVE and dangerous. It took 2 years of phone calls and letters before a call to the city councillor finally got the lines removed.

Wilkens resumed the job and it was completed in one week. Ernie never sent a bill or asked for money during the 2 year pause.

I own another house that needed very serious brick repair - Ernie visited and assisted me in developing a repair plan. Then - he invited a different masonry firm to consult on the project.

Wilkens have been super helpful and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
