He was great to work with - very personable, good communicator, responsive and respectful. We highly recommend him!" — Gayle S. "Sean Lennox was one of the few masons I contacted who would venture to Saltspring Island to take on a smaller job. He was very prompt in his response to my inquiries, dependable, and did the job on time. We are happy to say that we now passed the WETT inspection for our chimney, which had been left lacking by the former builder.Thank you, Sean. It is a great relief to have our chimney working properly now. I would not hesitate to call Sean with any masonry project. He is professional, courteous and pays attention to detail." — Terry S.

  • FAQ | Lennox Masonry | Victoria BC | Duncan BC | Masonry Contractor

    Learn about Lennox Masonry's consultation process and explore the frequently asked questions we are asked when it comes to masonry projects in Victoria, BC. Frequently Asked Questions & Answers: 1. Consultation Fees & Process 2. Location & Business Hours 3. Insurance & Licensing 4. Chimney & Fireplace Repairs 5. General Project Inquiries 1. Consultation Fees and Process: What is a Fixed Price Proposal? A fixed price proposal is essentially a quote which entails the definite costs of your project. It is not be mistaken with an "estimate", as the proposal is only created once all factors have been accounted for and agreed upon. When do consultation fees apply: We offer a flat rate of $75.00 (not including GST) for design consultations/quotes within the Greater Victoria and Cowichan Valley area.. If your project requires CAD drawings or further designing, additional fees may apply. All fees incurred during the quotation process are deducted from the fixed price proposal. Please send us an email containing your address, phone number, any pertinent photos and information, as well as acknowledging that you have read and agree to paying the consultation fee in order to begin the process. Consultation fees are due after a site visit has been conducted, and can be paid in the form of cash, cheque, or e-transfer. Please advise us as to your preferred method of payment when contacting us so we can issue the appropriate invoice. Once site visit has been completed and the consultation fees are paid, a fixed price proposal will be emailed to you within 2 business days. Please note your proposal may require additional time if your project is complex. Are the consultation fees refundable if, for whatever reason, we decide not to use your company? The consultation fees are only refunded in the form of a deduction from the proposed costs . What type of projects or circumstances would warrant an increase in the cost of a consultation? There are a number of factors which are taken into account prior to assessing the cost of a consultation, such as: distance traveled and resources invested if you're outside of the Greater Victoria area; evaluating a chimney where scaffolding and potentially CCTV is required; multiple design options where price comparisons and more than one proposal is necessary; the custom designing and building of large projects where CAD drawings are needed; visiting distributors or quarries to further design decisions in regards to your project, etc.. Once we have a clear understanding of what your project entails, we will let you know if there may be additional costs involved. Why do you charge a consultation fee ? Because we are a small company that is dedicated to quality control and due to the amount of requests we receive for quotes each year, it's not economically feasible for us to provide quotes for free. Our base consultation fee of $75.00 helps to cover the fuel and labor costs associated with providing a thorough proposal for your review. Do you provide rough-cost estimates? We no longer provide rough-cost estimates. We have found that supplanting a number prior to considering all project parameters is both misleading and detrimental to the quotation process. What sets you apart from other masonry companies in Victoria, BC? When choosing Lennox Masonry for your project, you have the added benefit of having the owner and operator design and conduct the work himself. Sean Lennox and his team of certified masons are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, as well as very particular about quality control. We have chosen to remain a small masonry company which continues to achieve service and craftsmanship awards year after year. Please visit our Referrals page to hear from some of our clients. Consultation Fees & Process Location & Business Hours 2. Location & Business Hours: Where are you located? We have two locations: Our office is located in South Fairfield, right in the heart of Victoria, BC, as well as a shop space located in Langford, BC. In essence, we're always around the Greater Victoria area, ready to provide masonry services, even emergency calls. What are your business hours: We are open from 9:00am until 5pm Monday through to Saturday and are closed on Sundays and holidays. What are your service areas? Lennox Masonry provides masonry services throughout both the Greater Victoria and Cowichan Valley areas, as well as the surrounding Gulf Islands when needed. How busy are you? Are you able to take on my project? We are typically booking projects months in advance, year-round . We always recommend setting up a consultation as soon as possible and placing a deposit with us to ensure that we can complete your project in a reasonable time-frame. If it's a smaller project, we can usually squeeze it in among our larger projects. How do you get the majority of your work? The majority of our projects are obtained through word-of-mouth. Though more and more people are finding us through Google and a variety of other social media platforms. We provide quality workmanship and good communication skills with a proven track record for safety. Our referrals are a testament as to why our services remain sought after year after year. Insurance 3. Insurance & Licensing: Is Lennox Masonry Fully Licensed and Insured ? Yes, Lennox Masonry is licensed to work throughout Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Islands. We carry $5,000,000 in liability insurance through a local insurance provider which fully insures both you and us while we are working on the premises. We also carry additional insurance for our employees through WCB of Canada and have an impeccable safety record. Chimney & Fireplace Repairs 4. Chimney & Fireplace Repairs: What exactly is involved with chimney inspections? Our first priority at Lennox Masonry is safety. Though we can typically assess the state of a chimney from the ground floor (exterior and the interior firebox), we highly recommend utilizing scaffolding (as per WCB regulations and Liability Insurance purposes) in order to safely reach your roofline and thoroughly inspect your chimney and the flue liners. This up-close inspection process provides a much more accurate quote for your chimney repairs. It can take anywhere from one to eight hours to set up scaffolding and perform a thorough inspection, depending on the heights involved and the accessibility of your chimney. Please note that additional consultation fees will be incurred through this process but that the initial consultation fee will be deducted from the overall costs. Please visit our Chimney Repairs page to learn about how the state of your chimney affects the overall well being of your home. What does repointing a chimney entail? The first step is setting up scaffolding that meets any and all WCB regulations and liability insurance requirements. We cannot use ladders safely while hauling heavy materials and equipment onto a roof or around a chimney. At times, depending on the location of the chimney and the slope of the roof, a secondary scaffold may be built on the rooftop to ensure a safe and professional chimney repair. Once the scaffolding is in place, the mortar between the bricks or stones is recessed to an ideal working depth and then replaced with fresh mortar. The type of mortar being used will depend on the type of materials used in the structure of the chimney. The chimney is then fully cleaned after the mortar has had several days to fully cure. Read our blog post for more information: How To Repoint Brick & Stone Structures What does building a new chimney cap or crown entail? The initial setup is no different than repointing a chimney but the current cap is safely demolished and disposed of prior to us forming and pouring a new concrete chimney cap which meets the code requirements set out by City of Victoria or any other municipality. General Inquiries 5. General Project Inquiries: Will you clean up after the project ? Here at Lennox Masonry, we know that maintaining a clean and organized jobsite is the key to efficiency, safety, and professionalism. We always clean up the site throughout the duration of the project and thoroughly afterwards. We appreciate a clean house and yard, and extend that courtesy to our clients. When washing off tools and equipment covered in mortar, will it negatively impact our garden or grass? Lennox Masonry utilizes lime-based mortars rather than Portland cement-based mortars. The native plants here in Victoria, BC tend to thrive off of diluted, natural hydraulic lime and the sand used to create the mortar. If anything, our clients have always appreciated the addition of lime to their gardens but if you have any concerns, please voice them to us while we go over the jobsite layout with you. What is an acid-wash? An acid-wash is applied to stubborn mortar stains on brick or stonework after a repair or new installation is complete and the mortar is fully cured. Muriatic acid is diluted with a specific amount of water to help ease the mortar stains off of the surface. All safety precautions are taken by Lennox Masonry while working with Muriatic acid and it is not harmful to any other materials on or around the area. Copper being the exception, as the acid can stain it. Please note that we rarely apply an acid-wash but we’ll notify you if the need arises. Do you offer masonry cleaning services? Lennox Masonry operates a unique stone and brick masonry cleaning apparatus which is designed to steam clean masonry surfaces without saturating the materials and mortar involved, unlike pressure washers and cleaning chemicals. It is designed to be the most environmentally friendly cleaning option on the market and the safest when it comes to maintaining the integrity of masonry structures.

For Gulf Island Residents: At Lennox Masonry, we typically receive dozens of requests per year from Gulf Island residents in regard to our services. We understand that there is a lack of qualified and certified masonry contractors on the majority of the surrounding islands. As a Victoria, BC based masonry company, we have accommodated many northern and southern Gulf Island residents over the years because of that fact. From our experience, few people want to incur the costs associated with a preliminary site-visit due to the travel expenses and time involved. What we have found is that we dedicate a great deal of our time to corresponding with people about their project in order to obtain all of the project parameters. Unfortunately, it is not feasible for us to offer this type of service without compensation. The consultation fee is $75.00 (including GST) and is required prior to sending us the required information. The consultation fee is deducted from the fixed price proposal that we will present to you after the project has been thoroughly assessed. Here's what we need: - clear photos which display every aspect of the project - approximate dimensions and measurements (if a chimney repair or chimney rebuild is required, please measure the entirety of the chimney, slope of the roof, workable space at the base of the chimney, etc..) - full address of the project location - any and all information in your possession that pertains to the project (inspection reports, CAD drawings, building plans, etc..) Please note that in some situations, a site-visit may be required prior to creating a proposal for your review. We look forward to building trust with you and creating an end product which exceeds your expectations.

  • Ross Bay Cemetery Project | Lennox Masonry | Victoria BC | Heritage Restoration

    Lennox Masonry of Victoria BC offers heritage masonry restoration. We recently designed and built the memorial entrance at the Ross Bay Cemetery in Victoria BC. Ross Bay Cemete ry Memorial Entran ce Project In cooperation with the Old Cemeteries Society of Victoria, BC and the City of Victoria , Lennox Masonry has now completed the new entrance to the Ross Bay Cemetery located in the south Fairfield area of Victoria, BC. History The Ross Bay Cemetery was founded in 1872 when the City of Victoria purchased the land from Robert Burnaby and converted into a graveyard for the growing population of Victoria, BC. Ross Bay was originally named after Isabella Ross who was an Indigenous woman and the first female registered landowner in BC. She used her 99 acres of land to create a farm called Ross Bay Fowl Bay Farms but then began selling parcels of the acreage to individual buyers as the farm became unsuccessful. One of those parcels of land would go on to become what is now 27.5 acres of cemetery, containing over 30,000 grave sites. Vision The granite-clad pillars will also contain plaques which state the following: Ross Bay Cemetery is on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen speaking Indigenous Nations. We honour and acknowledge their dedicated stewarding of these lands for thousands of years. After the Douglas Treaties of 1850 the land was acquired by Isabella Ross and James Douglas. Ross sold part of her farm to Robert Burnaby. In 1872 he sold 13 acres of it to the City of Victoria for the cemetery which opened the following year. In 1900 part of the Douglas estate was added, on the west side, and in 1906 a part of the Ross estate was added, on the east side. The cemetery now comprises 27.5 acres and contains about 30,000 interments. It is owned by the City of Victoria, is a designated heritage site and is on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. Erected by the Old Cemeteries Society of Victoria, 2022 News Coverage Chek TV , Vancouver Island's local news source, will be covering the building process and conducting interviews over the course of the project.

  • Chimney Repairs | Victoria BC | Lennox Masonry | Langford BC | Masonry Contractor

    Lennox Masonry specializes in assessing, repointing, rebuilding and repairing chimneys in Victoria, BC. We have restored hundreds of chimneys in Greater Victoria. Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds in Victoria, BC Inspections The majority of brick and stone chimneys within Victoria and the Greater Victoria area suffer from much of the same issues: brick spalling, cracked concrete crowns, failing mortar joints, deteriorating sealants, and broken flue liners are the usual suspects. Any of which can lead to water damage within your home. If your chimney is experiencing any of the aforementioned issues, we highly recommend dealing with it as soon as possible. Here at Lennox Masonry, our expertise applies to all facets of chimney repairs and rebuilds. Most chimney inspections can be conducted from the ground floor, as any major issues will be made apparent, but we also utilize drones to thoroughly inspect the crown of the chimney. When conducting an inspection, we will also assess the interior of the chimney from any access points within the home. When requested, we can also provide detailed chimney inspections which utilize CCTV video cameras to access the inner workings of the chimney. However, this process does require the installation of scaffolding to conduct the inspection safely. We work in cooperation with Transport Canada while operating drones for those tall and hard-to-reach chimneys. Repairs & Rebuilds From repointing decrepit mortar joints on old stone and brick chimneys to building new chimney structures from the base up, we are established experts when it comes to repairing or rebuilding your chimney. If your chimney shows signs of wear and tear, such as bricks deteriorating or mortar missing from the joints between the brick or stonework, it is most certainly in need of repair. Contact us today to arrange a consultation and get your chimney refurbished before any additional damage is incurred. Whether you're in need of a chimney pot or a full chimney restoration, please visit our 'How It Works' page and reach out to us today! Heritage Masonry Chimneys Over the decades, we have repointed, rebuilt, and restored numerous heritage chimneys throughout Victoria, BC. Heritage chimneys are eligible for grants through the City of Victoria which allows home and business owners to subsidize nearly 50% of the costs associated with restoring the chimney to its former self. Both regular chimney codes and heritage restoration codes apply to heritage-designated chimneys which we strictly adhere to. Matching the original mortar and brick is a very involved process and one that Lennox Masonry excels at after years of expertise in this precise field. We sample and test the original mortar and then replicate every aspect of it to meet heritage masonry code requirements. We also source the closest match currently available to the original bricks, both in colour, shape, texture, and softness. In order to meet the requirements of the heritage chimney restoration grant, the chimney must be rebuilt or restored to its exact, original state while also adhering to updated building codes, as outlined by the City of Victoria. Lennox Masonry will help streamline this process for your home or business by helping you understand and compile all of the necessary information in order to obtain the heritage restoration grant. Testimonials "Lennox Masonry repointed and capped two chimneys for me in 2018. The work seems great to me, but more importantly, I've had three different professionals comment on the quality of the work and seals. Sean Lennox was a pleasure to talk to and was one of the most responsive tradesmen/contractors I've dealt with, period. He was quick to get back, to the point and helpful with my masonry and contract questions. If you need some Masonry work done, definitely contact Lennox Masonry." - Alex Barnes, Victoria, BC Book Your Consultation Today!
