Top Notch - Heritage Brick Restoration
We disassembled and then rebuilt a very particular turret detail on a heritage Toronto house. Guy and his team completed the job safely, on time and for the agreed upon price. I have since used Bowman for a few more restoration jobs - highly recommend.
This was a large job and I interviewed many companies. Waterproof, underpin, drainage, sump - may aspects. Igor was knowledgeable without being overbearing and works in a cooperative manner with other trades. They show up on time - behave professionally, clean up the mess, are jovial and add much to the worksite.
Thank you for your positive review and your recommendation. We had a pleasure to have you as a customer. Best, ICYReno-Waterproofing team in Toronto
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.
Ernie and the crews really love their job and take a lot of pride in doing it well so thank you very much for acknowledging them so nicely. I have of course passed your review to them. Maguite W
This is a significant project on a very public street. Maintaining good relations with neighbours and a clean site were very important. I had 7 demolition companies bid for this project. Ben was not the lowest or the highest price - but he seemed knowledgeable and professional - and he OWNS the bins which is a major consideration. Ben's crew were all mature adults - experienced professional hands. They protected areas as directed. They worked steadily and methodically to strip away essentially the entire house. Ben provided leadership and conscientious management throughout the process. I would hire Big Ben again in a heartbeat.
