    Chimney Repairs

    Wilkens was recommended to me by word of mouth and I can now add my own recommendation. Our fireplace chimney started shedding bits and pieces of brick near the top. One chimney contractor advised me that we needed to rebuild the chimney up from the roofline. A sceptical friend of mine suggested I get another opinion. Wilkens took a look and offered to fix the problem for just a third of the first estimate. Their work appears to be excellent and it was a breeze dealing with them. In fact, all the arrangements were made verbally over the phone: I never had to wait around for an estimator, the work was done while I was away on vacation, and the bill didn't arrive until a gentlemanly ten days later! Can't be too many businesses still left that operate in such a civilized way.

    outside brick pointing

    The experience of dealing with Wilkens Contracting was such a pleasant surprise. From the first contact by phone with Dave to the quote from Mr. Wilkens to the actual quality work - was just excellent. I would highly recommend them.

    Tuck Pointing

    Five years ago when we bought our house, our home inspector told us we needed some tuck pointing. I finally got around to getting a quote. What a happy surprise to hear from Mr. Wilkens that we didn't need any tuckpointing! He could have made some money off us but didn't. Wow, I was impressed!

    Brick pointing

    We were very pleased with the quality of the work and the matching of the grout/cement to the existing so that the repairs blended in. Ernie came himself to review the work and gave us great advice regarding the the dryer vent and came back later to patch the holes.

    Quote on rebuilding a fireplace

    I was really impressed by Ernie's honesty, knowledge and patience in explaining the firecode and the options in fixing the fireplace. We were looking for a second quote for extending our fireplace and fixing a damper problem. Ernie recommended that we not extend the fireplace for astetic and structural reasons and recommended a solution that we could do ourselves for very little money despite the potential for him to earn $4,000 in making the changes we were looking for. Thanks again Ernie
