He capped my chimney, repointed from the roofline up and in the basement. His communication was very clear and concise.

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.

Learn about how Lennox Masonry was responsible for repointing and steam cleaning various heritage masonry walls at the Government House in Victoria, BC Government House Heritage Masonry Restoration History The Government House in Victoria, BC was originally known as Cary Castle and was built in 1859. Roughly six years later it switched ownership and became the residence of the Governor of Vancouver Island. In 1871 it officially became known as the Government House and the residence of the Lieutenant Governor. During 1899 the building burnt down and the famous architects Francis Rattenbury and Samuel Maclure were tasked with designing and building a new residence on the site. The Government House then reopened in 1903. It stood for nearly 54 years before it burnt down a second time apart from the port cochère. The house was then reconstructed a third time in 1957 and reopened in 1959. Aspects of the Government House are now undergoing restorations such as the steam cleaning of the port cochère and repointing of the surrounding stone walls by Lennox Masonry.

Lennox Masonry specializes in designing and building flagstone and paver patios, walkways, and transforming outdoor living spaces throughout Victoria, BC. Flagstone Patios & Walkways Patios & Walkways Whether you’re interested in utilizing brick, concrete, or a natural flagstone, the process is much the same, depending on the finish you’re looking for. We have designed and built flagstone patios and walkways with concrete foundations and mortar joints, as well as creating a more natural look with a foundation of sand, allowing plants to grow between the pavers. It primarily comes down to aesthetics and the degree of maintenance our clients wish to perform.

Lennox Masonry specializes in restoring and building stone retaining walls in Victoria, BC. We offer repointing and rebuilding services for all stone masonry walls. Stone Retaining Walls Dry-Stone Walling Dry stone walling, or, dry stacking, is an ancient method of building stone walls without the use of mortar. Stones are placed in an interlocking method in order to ensure stability and proper function. The following gallery consists of a project Lennox Masonry completed in Saanichton, Victoria BC. These stone stairs and retaining walls were built out of blast rock, which is noted to be the most challenging stone to work with when building dry stacked walls. Dry stone walls can prove to be less maintenance in the long run as opposed to mortared stone retaining walls. However, this method of retaining soil is not recommended if the wall is exceeding 4' in height. If you're interested in having us design and build a dry stone wall for you, please visit our 'How It Works' page and contact us today. Mortared Stone Walls Mortared stone retaining walls provide some added safety and aesthetics in comparison to dry stone walls. With a strong foundation, lime based mortars, proper drainage, and ample capping, these types of walls can stand for upwards of 50 years before requiring serious maintenance. Stone walls which utilize mortar can also exceed height restrictions that are in place for dry stone walls in the city of Victoria, BC. At Lennox Masonry, we not only build the typical mortared stone walls which you find all throughout Victoria, but we also take an artisan approach to designing and creating unique and functional stone walls. We can even make your mortared stone wall appear to be a dry stone wall by tight fitting the stones together. This method requires patience and a skill set which takes years to master. The end result is aesthetically pleasing while also practical and sturdy. The majority of our stonemasonry projects utilize mortar, especially where stone retaining walls are concerned. If you're interested in having us design and build you a stone wall such as the walls found in our gallery, please familiarize yourself with the 'How It Works' page today and get in touch with us!

He was very polite and any questions l had were answered to my satisfaction without any hesitation. l would recommend Sean to anyone in need of a stonemason. We will definitely be calling Sean when it comes to our future projects." — Vicky K. "Sean does quality work. I found him to be professional and responsive. He was good at communicating and staying on schedule. The project was competed on time and on budget." — Kyle H. Sean is incredibly outstanding in his work ethic, with fine attention to detail, excellent communication, and endless creativity. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, skilled stonemason for any project! — Maurice M. "Sean did a great job repairing a damaged brick pier at my home. The repair is seamless, and he worked hard to match the existing brick work. Sean was very quick to come over to assess the damage, get us a quote, and to start the repair work. I'd definitely work with him again in the future!" — Matt P. "We hired Sean to rebuild an approx 5' rock post at the foot of our driveway plus a cement curb and section of a fence (all of which had been knocked down by a car). Sean did a fantastic job on all - he has an excellent eye for detail and does not rush the work. His quote was also very competitive and there were no surprise costs at the end. We definitely recommend him." — Cyrus K. Sean 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 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 that's not enough to sway you, of the 4 companies I contacted, Sean was the only one that didn't give me an absolutely outrageous quote. Sean's was roughly half of the next best offer and a quarter of the highest one.If you need some Masonry work done, definitely contact Sean. — Alex B. "We hired Sean to demo our chimney on our 1912 character house. He also built a beautiful new chimney and coordinated other trades to install a new gas fireplace insert. The end product is very beautiful. Each time I walk down the street I admire the character and warmth that it adds to our home. Sean’s communication, expertise, thoughtfulness and response time were much appreciated by us throughout the build. He was also gracious with his time in providing us with information on other projects that we were working on around our home. I would recommend Lennox Masonry if you are looking for strong communication and honesty." — Mitchell G. "Sean did a great job on my retaining wall repair so I hired him to do the repairs on my chimney. Workmanship was of good quality at a fair price. Everything was cleaned up and removed at the end of the jobs, witch I found refreshing. There was a bit of a miscommunication during the chimney repairs, when I brought it to his attention Sean stepped up immediately, resolved it, and made it right. He made sure I was satisfied and happy with everything before he left. Sean stands behind his work and his handshake, not something you find much anymore. He cares about the customer, as well as the job. Very satisfied and would recommend you give him a call." — Rob J. "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. "Sean repaired a dry stacked retaining wall, flag stone sidewalk and a mortared stone wall for me. Sean's work was flawless and excellent on all three projects. His pricing is fair and he is a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to hire or recommend Sean in the future." — Andrew V. Sean fixed up our retaining wall that was hit by a car. He is very responsive, does quality work and really cares about the outcome and his customers. Would absolutely use Sean for other jobs and highly recommend. — Greg I. "Sean did the re-pointing of my chimney. He responded to my initial call and provided an accurate assessment, and a more than fair estimate the same day. His communication skills and knowledge of his craft are both excellent. It's unusual to find someone who loves their work, is very competent and treats their clients well. It was a pleasure to have him work here. He is one of a kind. Highly recommended." — J. L. "Sean Lennox of Lennox Masonry explained what he was doing every step of the way and completed the repointing of two chimneys on budget and to my full satisfaction. I would recommend him without reservation." — Sid T. "We hired Sean to repoint our chimney, install a new chimney pot and pour a new concrete crown. He was easy to communicate with and his team did a fantastic job. Would definitely hire again." — Ben H. Last year we purchased a home that turned out to have quite a few hidden problems. We moved in in May but didn't discover a problem with our gas fireplace until we tried to use it in October. It had so many issues that we needed to replace it. But when the fireplace installer went to run the exhaust for the new insert, he discovered that someone had removed the top of the original brick chimney and replaced it with a wooden frame. This may or may not have been to code many decades ago when the first insert was installed, but it was definitely not to code now. So suddenly, as winter was approaching, we needed to find someone to rebuild a chimney for us. I called 5 different companies, 3 of which got back to me. One of the quotes was extremely high, largely because he said he would need to deconstruct a portion of our new roof; one was basically a handwave and "I can't really quote on any surprises we might find"; and the third was Lennox. Sean's quote was clear and reasonable, he said he could likely do the work without disturbing the roof, he answered my many questions with patience and clarity, and he worked seamlessly with the fireplace installer and the roofing company. He completed the job quickly and did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site. And when the roofer was here finishing up the flashing, he said that this was the best chimney rebuild he'd seen in years -- no damage to the roof, and the only thing he needed to do was replace a small amount of flashing. Overall, we had an absolutely stellar experience with Lennox Masonry and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Thanks, Sean! — E. Anzalone We hired Sean and his team at Lennox Masonry to repair our old stone walls as well as repoint our chimney which was becoming a hazard.

Him and his team ensured that the job site was left clean and organized at the end of each day and they addressed all of our concerns.
