Wilkens Masonry and Upper Gage Ave

I was looking at getting the foundation of my house parged and also have a chimney taken down that was no longer needed. I am always skeptical when searching for a contractor online but when I came across the Wilkens Contracting website that put my mind at ease. It was an easy , clear and readable website to navigate. Although I was looking for someone local within Hamilton, upon reading through the website they did service the Hamilton area. I loved that it wasn’t a franchise but a long standing family run business ! That gets my first vote !
From my first phone call with Connor to his brother Jake coming out for the estimate, they were friendly, pleasant and did not talk to me like I didn’t know what I was looking for. Jake arrived on the morning after my dog was skunked and his suggestions were very helpful and welcoming as I was pretty frazzled !
Anyway, Jake was more than honest, he told me straight up I did not require any foundation parging done on my house.. it was in great shape, he said don’t let anyone tell you anything different. Well that was music to my ears after the morning I had had. We then discussed the chimney removal and he said he would forward the quote via email. I got the email later that evening and was more than pleased with it. There was no rush on my part, just whenever they could fit me in, which turned out to be the following Friday . Jonathan would be the contractor to do the work and he was great. He explained the whole process to me.
He was friendly, pleasant and answered any and all of my questions. He took the time to do the work and cleaned up with no issues left behind.
I’m sorry this is a long review but I wanted to capture the whole process from start to finish. In this day when people are getting scammed on very important and major decisions regarding their home it is truly refreshing to find genuine people that love what they do, love helping folks achieve their needs, Canadian company and a locally run family business !
It was just by chance that I found them when I was doing my research and I am so glad I did, these guys are the best. If you need masonry work done, gives these guys a call !
Thank you Connor, Jake, Jonathan and Olivia…
