OMG where do I start. I texted Sam he came out checked my chimney within 2 days I got my estimate from him. Awesome price! May I say. Texted him back after a wk, booked a date. Sam & Tony showed up just before 8am. They were done in 4.5 hrs. They did an Awesome job on my chimney. I would recommend Nickel Masonry & Construction to anyone. Add another 5 stars to them. Thank you so very much Sam & Tony.

Nickel Masonry has completed two projects for our Strata. One was repair of a very old low stone retaining wall where the masonry had cracked and very large granite stones had shifted because of pressure from tree roots. The other was a small project where the masonry attaching the cap stones on top of a concrete wall had failed. That involved detaching and reattaching a railing to repair the masonry as well.
Sam Fame was great to deal with. The costs he quoted were competitive - and much less than some other contractors. The work was completed in a timely manner, Sam provided updates, and the work was high quality - he's clearly a very experienced professional.

Sam and his partner did an amazing job taking down our 30ft chimney. It was difficult to access with a neighbour's new glass awning next to it and really hot weather. He protected all the glass well and very methodically got the whole thing down in one day. Roof repair was done well and all cleanup done.
Highly recommend Sam - reasonable cost and a super knowledgeable professional.

We recently upgraded our fireplace which required installation of a new tile. Sam and his partner did a fantastic job installing the glossy tile we have selected. The installation was more challenging than the original due to extension of the fireplace wall to accommodate the new fireplace, and the need to install the tile on the sides. Before and after photos included for comparison.
