Tuckpointing and repair of outside brickwork

We hired Wilkens to repair a deteriorating garage wall. Their quote seemed reasonable and competitive, and they were able to complete the work over three warmer days in the winter. Bill did an outstanding job. He was careful, conscientious and very careful about detail. We loved the result and have no hesitation in recommending these guys to others.

Fireplace Opening Modification

We had an arched basement fireplace opening. We needed to square it and add lintel for support in order to create space for gas fireplace insert. Got a very competitive price. Bill did the modification and stayed late to get it done even though it was Halloween. All done in one day and on time in advance of install date for gas fireplace insert. We were very happy with the quality and value. Definitely recommend Wilkens. Very professional and pleasant to work with.

Honest Honest Honest

I called Wilkens for an estimate on a chimney and a fireplace repair. I met Ernie, the owner. I felt comfortable with him and found him to be a true professional who goes the extra mile.

Bill meticulously repaired my fireplace flue and fixed a leak from my attic. He is a perfectionist and did a terrific job at a reasonable price. The other fireplace company told me I need a new flue-not!

Frank and his two sons came this week and replaced my chimney. They are very nice and did an outstanding job. My chimney looks fantastic. It blends in beautifully with my 1940 house.

Do not hesitate to hire Wilkens Contracting. You will not regret it. I am so relieved to get all this work done perfectly and at a fair price.

Real Professionals

My experience with Wilkens Contracting was outstanding. From the quote with Ernie, who has clearly forgotten more about the quirks of Toronto's century homes than I will ever know, to the painless and speedy scheduling by David to the actual job done by Daniel, this is a first class team that have earned their stellar reputation.
Daniel turned up on time and completed the repairs to my chimney with diligence, courtesy and an eye for detail and quality.
The price was fair and the workmanship was very professional. I'm a very satisfied customer who enthusiastically recommends Wilkens to others.

Brick replacement and chimney repair

I've hired Wilkens Contracting Inc. to replace some bricks on my house's wall and repair the chimneys. Ernie Hudson, the owner, checked the scope of work and gave me a quote. He was very honest and told me that the work was not critical and that I could afford to wait another year. I decided to hire Wilkens Contracting Inc because they are trustworthy. Allen is the person who did all the repair. He was fantastic - very meticulous with his work, professional, and very honest. The results were excellent and I was very happy with the experience and quality of work. I highly recommend Wilkens Contracting Inc. and encourage you to ask for Allen to do the work!

Basement column and range vent

I had them do some tuck pointing a few years ago and contacted them and another couple companies to build a bearing column in the basement for a post to open up the main floor. Their quote was the best, but based on their previous work I would have hired them even if they were just in the ballpark of the rest. The crew showed up on time, were very pleasant and accommodating, keeping all the work areas clean. They did an excellent job! The company has been around forever for a reason. They also installed a dryer vent, bathroom fan vent and a 10" range hood vent, exactly where they were required. True professionals! Thanks guys!

small tuck pointing job and chimney work

They fixed what needed to be done without the 'oh, you should do this and this and this'. Richard also did a small concrete patch job for us. We will definitely call them when more work is needed.

Had to have some bricks with stress cracks replaced and Wilkens Contracting did a great job working with my budget and matching the existing bricks as best as possible. Will definitely have them back to do some more work in the future.

Chimney rebuild

I highly recommend Ernie Wilkens and his team. Ernie came over to quote two chimneys. One needed just tuck pointing and the other a complete rebuild. Frank and his sons did the rebuild. Excellent work, friendly guys, site immaculately cleaned up and a fair quote. I always find it hard to find honesty out there when you are looking for work done on your home. You won't regret dealing with these guys. I thoroughly enjoyed dealing with each and everyone at Wilkens.

Hello Blake,
Please accept my apology for not responding sooner! I was off for a few days.
Next I want to thank you very much for your kind words! I have read your review to Ernie and it was welcome and rewarding in the middle of his rather heavy schedule!! I will of course let Frank and his boys know as well. Have a lovely end of summer. Cordially, Maguite Wilkens
