Just another homowner in Toronto

Dufferin Iron & Railings manufactured an excellent galvanized railing for us that. They also galvanized and painted our aging wrought iron table (family heirloom) at a great price. Unlike many of the railing manufacturers, Dufferin Iron does installation, and they did a quality job. My only complaint would be the mess they left of the aluminum siding where the railing was installed; however they did warn me about this beforehand. I just haven't found anybody willing to fix such a small job...

Wilkens Contracting did some work for us last year, and I just finally got around to writing this review now. Here's why I'd recommend them: Excellent customer service (friendly, timely and accurate quotes) Quality workmanship. The work they did stood the test of time. "Above and beyond." -- a part of the cement fill around my basement window had decayed away. Although it wasn't part of the job, the mason who came to do tuckpointing filled that section, and some other sections as well.

We found this company very distressing to deal with; the owner was impolite, and promises were made without proper delivery, and schedules were not met. While some very qualified people work for the owner, the quality of the work wasn't really there. Some things that Jorge ("George") promised were never completed, and it was like pulling teeth to get them to return to do the work they did do. We have been in touch with others that had similar problems. There are many other companies in the GTA that do this kind of work, I would recommend going with them instead.
