Jk Brickworks

I am not one to normally post a review online but upon coming across these reviews of JK Brickworks I felt compelled to do so. I am an owner of several rental properties and therefore deal with tradespeople on a frequent basis, as such, I would say I am able to fairly distinguish the 'good' from the 'bad'. For me, JK Brickworks falls solidly into the 'good' category.

I have used this company a number of times throughout the years and for various projects -- they have always exceeded my expectations in terms of price, quality and professionalism. On the first job, I had nasty cement paint taken off of the front facade of my home. This was done in a professional manner that did not leave me with anything but satisfaction. On my second job, I had blue paint power washed off of a triplex, again totally satisfied with the results and in the manner in which the job was carried out. On my third job, I had awful angel stone chipped off of my century old brickwork and my bricks pointed, I cannot begin to tell you the amount of compliments I have received thanks to the hard work of JK Brickworks. Over and above these masonry jobs, I have used this company to do demolition and foundation work on an extension, again...nothing but positive experiences.

I would suggest whomever is considering hiring this company to definitely employ their services, not because you will be paying significantly less than the competition (as you most definitely will be), but because you will be more than satisfied with the end results and the level of professionalism and hard work this company operates with.

JK Brickworks has no business doing waterproofing... The owner is a dishonest person who does not care about his customer. He is not a business person and is totaly unprofessional. I had many quotes for this job that were more than double what he charged me...he claimed that if I hire him to do the job I will never get another drop of water in my basement ever again...wrong ! ...water is still entering into basement. I was under charged and under serviced. His excuse was that water was entering from the floor and he insists that he did a great job and his wife got involved too also claiming that her husband did a great job. His wife started the deceiving process by telling me that her husband does great work...and she put together a contract that was vague and lacking all the important details which is what a contract should show. What a disaster these two caused us...they damaged my mainhouse cleanout and John denies he did it. What an unprofessional guy including his wife. I do not know what other work these two offer...I would never, ever, ever hire them for any service due to their lack of INTEGRITY and HONESTY. Besides the vague contract there were also verbal agreements which were not honored. They do not belong in business because they are not people persons. If you are a people person then your goal is to take care of your client.
TAKE JK BRICKWORKS OFF YOUR LIST !!! UNPROFESSIONAL!! DISHONEST!!
Also, a recent investigation was done on the waterproofing by an engineering firm that pointed out many deficiencies that were not in line with building codes. They requested an official report...I provided it...they stated that they would repair any found deficiencies and they are not honoring their word. What a nightmare !

You get what you pay for. Had the paint removed from bricks on my house. Could only get 2 estimates and other contractors were busy. This contractor did not cover the windows, etc with plastic - there was dirty water, paint, paint remover etc everywhere - through my windows, through my neighbour's window. He warped my front door and did not clean up anything. Broke my water hose. He removed paint off my neighbour's deck and front door It took 2 days to clean up his mess. I am very lucky that my neighbour was kind and I fixed the damage. Do not trust this guy with anything. He also had the nerve to call me later and ask if I wanted him to repoint the bricks.
