Cummins Restorations

We initially inquired with Brian two years ago but ended up putting off our improvements until this fall. It seemed like a no-brainer that we would re engage with Brian and we're so glad we did. His pricing was fair, his responses were timely and most of all his quality of work was top notch. The work we had completed included some tuckpointing, brick repair, removing a stainless steel chimney/bricking it in and having a window filled in. Although the chimney was a part of the initial estimate it may have proved to be a little more work so it was very much appreciated when they honored their original quote. Brian's son, David worked throughout the day and even came back in the evening to complete some interior work. Right down to cleanliness of the job site, no detail seemed too small. Two generations of great work ethic and high quality craftmanship should be a source of pride for this family run business because they've earned it. Thanks gentlemen for a job well done.

We live in a 100 year old semi in East York and the bricks/mortar were showing signs of age. We had Cummins Restorations do tuckpointing, replace about 10 bricks, replace a window sill and repair the chimney. From the point of first contact, Brian was informative, professional and always got back to me quickly. He provided us with a detailed quote and kept to that price even though the work took longer than anticipated. He even had someone come out on a Saturday to make sure the job got done quickly! At the end of every day everything was left clean and tidy and Brian made sure to keep me up to date on his progress. He matched the mortar and bricks perfectly and you can tell that great care was taken with the work – I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Cummins Restorations to anyone!

Had an old, falling apart concrete window-sill broken up and repoured on Browning Ave. Cummins Restoration was quickly available, gave an estimate almost instantly, was on-time for the job, and the quality was great.

Very happy indeed. Thank you, Mr. Cummins!

And once again, HomeStars points me at another service man who is easily 10/10. Thank you HomeStars!

I am writing to let you know how very pleased I am with the work performed at 114 Fulton Ave this summer. Cummins Restoration performed 2 jobs on 2 occasions, 1 to repair some grouting and damaged bricks and the 2nd to repair, clean and remove some paint stains on the brickwork of the back wall.

Cummins Restorations were great to work with starting from getting the estimate through to the completion of the job. The quality of work was beyond our expectations and everything was performed on time and on budget.

I have already recommended them to my neighbours and would recommend them to anyone who is in need of masonry work.

I called Brian to do some tuck pointing and parging around the house. He was prompt to respond and took the time to come out and quote. I decided to only do a little of the job but nonetheless, Brian scheduled it and his son Dave came to do the work. The work was flawless and the area was cleaned after the work was done. I am very happy and pleased with the work and the prompt attention given by Brian to even a small job. I would highly recommend them for any work.

Cummins Restorations did some work for us two years ago, some of which did not hold up. I wrote to Brian, telling him about the problems and he responded very quickly and kindly, saying he would come by to do repairs. Today, he spent more than three hours carefully repairing the brick and cement work himself. It looks terrific. Many companies would not take responsibility for work that doesn't hold up, but Brian did. I could not recommend him (or his work) more highly. Thanks, Brian!

The work done on our house was outstanding!! I'd be more than pleased to provide a recommendation if you're ever in need of a reference. Your crew are a great group of guys. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Say hi to Rob, Sean and Dave for me!. Over all I would give a resounding 10 out of 10 for the overall experience.

Thanks again for a job well done!

Brian's son David did a small repair for us October 2014 and we were very pleased. An area of brick had fallen away at the back of the house -- likely from water damage. David also repaired our chimney. Both Brian and David are a pleasure to deal with. Their rates seemed fair, the wait was not too long, and their workmanship is excellent. They also seem very honest and ethical. The first gentleman who gave us a quote said our whole basement needed to be rebuilt at a cost of $20-30,000!! Brian took a look inside and quickly determined that the basement was still in good condition and only the damaged area needed fixing. We plan on calling on Brian and David again in 2015 to carry out other repairs to the brick that were not as urgent. Thanks for your great service guys! We're thankful we found you.

Spoke with Brian; they will do the brick work around the hydro lines for an "extremely low discounted price" when the weather is warmer.
Very Satisfied!!
This company was working for my neighbour; I asked them to do a bit of work for me.
Quote was for "all in".
Hydro lines were a hazard as reported later; company to follow up.
Workers were respectful, tidy and considerate.

Many thanks to Brian for his excellent communication skills in making us feel comfortable with our choice and to his on site crew, Dave and Rob, who's knowledge and suggestions improved our restoration. Well done guy's.

I would definitely recommend Cummins Restorations.
