Turnbull Masonry Ltd.

This was our third job for Clint and the third time was a charm. Clint built a concrete pad in our basement so we could have all of our appliances on a level footing and raised to arm-level. He was on-time, cleaned up well, was easy to deal with and managed to extend the pad even where our irregular basement floor made it more challenging. We're happy once again.

We were very impressed by Clint when he fixed our foundation and our chimney, so we were happy to have him come back to attach some exterior fixtures to our brick house. Once again, Clint was a pleasure to work with. He had no qualms about working on such a small project; he showed up on time, with the correct tools; his price was extremely reasonable and we're happy with his work. The job ended up being a bit more complicated than we all expected and Clint proved himself to be a pretty good problem solver. Once again, we are very happy with Clint.

My 1920s brick house required a new outside corner rebuilt. Clint took his time to examine the problem, explain what was going on with my house, promptly provided a good mid range quote, and set up a work date. His work was so good the structural engineer who verified the work for my mortgage company hired him to do work for his company. If I ever need brick repairs, this is the guy I am hiring. I would highly recommend him.

If only more tradesmen could be like Clint! We had Clint do a few jobs. His quote for the chimney was less expensive than other quotes we had; his quote for the foundation was slightly more expensive than others (not by much) but *way* better value - doing things Clint's way (e.g. the right way, no quick and dirty fixes like some other masons wanted to do) would take more manhours and more materials. In the end he charged us exactly what was quoted and he left the work site clean.

Three things stood out about Clint:

|| 1. He’s a good communicator -- Clint was thorough when he came over for the quote. Some masons were on-site for 20 minutes – we kept Clint for almost two hours. He answered all of our questions about multiple projects and problems, many not relating to the job he was quoting us. He was friendly, helpful and easy to talk to.

|| 2. He fixed the problem the right way -- We had a unique issue with our double-brick foundation of our 1930s house. We had a heritage architect in for advice who warned that that the problem could be exacerbated if we used modern-day materials, and that the most prudent approach was to fix the problems new brick and lime-based mortar.

We had a number of masons in for quotes and their recommendations varied, but Clint was the only one who recommended the same fix as our architect did. He repaired the foundation brick by brick and sourced old-style mortar which some other masons seemed unaware of. He also rebuilt our chimney, matching the new brick to the dated rug brick of our house.

|| 3. He was accommodating -- Other masons wanted to charge us per-wall minimum fees for things like tuckpointing or fixing the odd loose brick. Clint and René accommodated these requests, often on the fly, without charging us an arm and a leg.

We highly recommend Clint and look forward to calling him for future projects on our house.

They are reliable and professional. They brought stone samples to our house and really talked us through the entire process and timeline. They told us what to expect and delivered. The workmanship is fantastic. They had to work alongside another contractor and worked extremely well. The stone looks fabulous.

They were very professional and courteous. Also, the company was very clean and did the job on time and were punctual. We had no surprises from them! The company did great work and overall we are very pleased. Clinton and Rene were fantastic, Thanks so much!

This spring, we hired Turnbull Masonry to rebuild and repair two chimneys on our house and were very impressed with the excellence of the work and the thoroughly professional approach. Clint Turnbull explained in detail the work that needed to be done and the methods used in completing it. The company made every possible effort to use the bricks there and match the new ones as closely as possible in color to the old ones. The job was done in less than the time estimated to complete it. The clean-up of the job site was immaculate and, despite the amount of material replaced, no sign was left behind that work had been done - except, of course, the repaired chimneys. I cannot recommend this company strongly enough.

Chimney had to be torn down and re-built .All I have to say is this was one of the Best Contractors I have ever worked with period. Here are some of the reasons why.

1. Great owner and operator. (as a tradesman he is also a 10/10 in customer service)
2. Very competitive prices.
3. Well educated in his trade and his skill set is defined by perfect execution in the work he does ( 10/10 quality)
4. Goes beyond the scope of the work to make sure past mistakes are addressed or fixed.
5. Here's a Big one…He actually Calls you back…and Picks up the phone when you call.

So in conclusion…Turn Bull Masonry is by far the best brick contractor I have used.
Do yourself a favor and give Clint a call..and you will see why these 5 points are so accurate and true.

Chimneys needed to be pulled apart and re-built on a my Heritage Listed Dwelling.
Clint and his team carried out the work efficiently and effectively.
Clint is always courteous and goes that extra mile for his clients.
It was nice to actually have him around, unlike other contractors I have known.
Also follow up has been very professional.
Price was fair and reasonable.
You would be very happy with whatever work that Turnbull Masonry undertakes.
I would be happy to recommend him.

To maintain the appearance of my older home I contacted Turnbull Masonry for a quote for needed brick replacement and tucking. Mr Turnbull arrived on time, surveyed the work to be done and gave a very resonalbe quote. The work was done in a timely fashion, done when he stated it would be done and totally to my satisfaction .I would certainly reccommend Turnbull Masonry to neighbours and friends and will use his services for future jobs.
