Cummins Restorations reviews (174)

Hi Brian I am very pleased with the tuckpointing job you did for me. You colour matched the mortar beautifully, you were communicative, punctual and did a great cleanup job. I would be happy to recommend you to a neighbour or friend.

Cummins Restorations did an excellent job on tuck pointing the bricks on our house. The job was done efficiently, everything was cleaned up and the mortar was matched extremely well

I'm happy with the result of the repair work on the chimney and was also happy with the early scheduling and cleanup afterwards. I would be happy to recommend your services and would like to discuss other possible jobs in future with your company. Thank you.

I am very pleased with the promptness in providing an estimate after initial inquiry. The pricing was fair, and the work was completed ahead of schedule which was great. The workmanship was very good, and the jobsite was left in a clean and orderly fashion. Chris French - Toronto??

We called Brian to do some tuckpointing for us on our back wall. We were very satisfied with the result and they did a great job of cleaning up. Their staff was very polite and very considerate from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Cummins Restorations for any tuckpointing work.

Nice looking chimney repair, clean job site, extra effort shown, perfect courtesy. I would recommend Brian to anyone to get chimney work done.I hope to get him back to handle some post-renovation brick cleaning.

When renewing my home insurance I was told that due to the age of my house I had to have an inspection. When the inspector came he told me that I needed a new roof and my bricks required point and tuck. I couldn't believe it when 3 days later a letter arrived from my insurance company (the same carrier for the previous 20 years). It was a notice of cancelation! I was given 3 weeks to replace my roof and have the brick completely fixed. A friend of mine happens to be a roofer and he was able to fit me in in a pinch. So, I had a new roof but, I had no idea how I was going to get the point and tuck done on time. My friend recommended Cummins Restorations. He told me he knew the owners personally and that if anyone could help me in the limited amount of time and do it right - it was Cummins. I called the number he had given me and left a message explaining the work required, the timeline and the insurance sending the cancelation notice. I didn't realize I was calling a cell phone number but, almost immediately Brian Cummins himself called me back. He appologized for not answering the phone as he was up on scaffolding. I was in a bit of a panic as you can imagine. He told me not to worry that he would squeeze my house in (no matter what) before the deadline. He came the following day in between two different jobs to give me the quote and the following week he came to complete the job. He also rebuilt most of the chimney (which the insurance guy missed). This turned out to be a blessing because when the same inspector came back (astonished to see that the work had been completed on time) he told me that if I hadn't had the chimney done then he wouldn't have given us a pass. Cummins Restorations went out of their way to get this done as quickly as, possible, for a reasonable amount of money (the insurance guy figured it would be quite a bit more) and on top of all that they caught something that was potentially dangerous and would not have passed otherwise. Oh, and they left the grounds as neat as, a pin! A big "Thank You!" goes out to Brian and his team for all their help. Sincerely, Laura M

"Getting a professional quotation for restoration work on an old house with deteriorating masonry can be a challenge. Finding someone willing to take on a relatively small job can also be difficult. Brian Cummins provided very good service and quality work for a very competitive price. In addition, he and his crew were prompt and efficient. At the end of every day, the workplace was left in a safe and tidy condition

Cummins Restoration has completed a number of projects for our clients over the past few years. We found their service to be of high quality but also work was carried out on schedule and in a very professional manner.

I own an older commercial live/work building in toronto and have had the opportunity to use Cummins Restoration's expertise in restoration and brick work pointing twice in the past 6 years and have found his work exemplary. He started and finished each job well on time and to my satisfaction. I have recommended him to other building and home owners and feel very comfortable doing so in the future. If I was to rate this company for its quality of work - 1 to 5 with 5 being extremely satisfied, I would not hesitate to give it the top 5 and I look forward to working with them again should I need them.
