Ernie’s son (Jake – Head Mason), nephew (Richard – Head Salesman) and son-in-law (Connor – Office Manager) now handle all operations.

Our own trained and qualified staff  perform all work taken on by us in a clean, friendly and reliable manner.

“We have called upon the services of Wilkens on three occasions over a period of about 11 years. On every occasion they have been prompt, attentive, done flawless work, and cleaned up perfectly upon completion. Ernie is what you might call “old school” in the sense that he is a true gentleman, who is gracious and stands behind the work completed by his team. The crews are professional, and wonderful to deal with. In today’s world, Wilkens is a rare find indeed. I have referred friends to Wilkens, and will do so again and again. A top-notch outfit!”

CHIMNEY REPAIR

Chimneys can take a real beating, particularly in Canadian weather. In addition to being necessary to a home’s functionality, they are undoubtedly an aesthetic feature. We can repair the bricks as well as the mortar, replace the flue tiles, and even do a complete rebuild when necessary.

FIREPLACES

We can refurbish, rebuild, remodel and re-design your fireplace. We will make it structurally sound and secure as well as look great for those cozy, wintry nights.

TUCKPOINTING

Missing, cracked or broken mortar is not something you want to let go too long. The mortar helps protect the bricks themselves in addition to being integral to the structure of your chimney, wall, brick columns on your porch, and so on. Tuckpointing, also known as re-pointing, is the method used to repair the mortar. Furthermore, a wall with properly restored mortar joints can increase the curb appeal of a home.

BRICK RESTORATION

Over time, bricks get chipped, broken and flakey. Restoring bricks not only looks better, it also improves the integrity of the structure. We match our fixes to your existing brick as close as possible, even if it’s antique or rare.

When you need your chimney re-built or repaired, your fireplace refurbished or re-modeled, bricks restored or your brick walls tuckpointed in order to maintain the integrity of your home, call us.

We look forward to you becoming part of our ever-growing list of satisfied customers in addition to helping us grow and expand as a family owned company.
