Testimonials

We recently commissioned Seawall Restorations to demolish the old seawall on our property, which was in a state of disrepair, and rebuild a new sandstone wall in its place.

As the project progressed, it was clear we had made the right choice. The Seawall restorations team has demonstrated a high degree of professionalism in all respects, and displayed extremely high quality workmanship. This was a difficult project, with a number of challenges; however each of these issues was identified early, communicated to us, and successfully resolved.

The completed wall has far exceeded our expectations. I would have no hesitation recommending Tony Hopkins and his team at Seawall Restorations for any construction project in their areas of expertise.

Wayne Gentle, Kyle Bay

Just a follow up note to say how pleased we are with the new seawall constructed by your company at our Woronora residence.

It was great to have dealings with someone who is personally involved with the construction and therefore has the right experience to develop the best solution. We were not quite sure how to go about the replacement of our old seawall but your extensive list of project photos helped us to come up with some great ideas and made the job easy. The quality of the materials and workmanship was outstanding and we would have no hesitation in recommending your services to any potential client.

We wish yourself and Stewart all the best for your future and pass on a very big thanks to you both.

A longstanding problem with a seawall on an adjacent property became a serious issue when it collapsed and tumbled into Sydney Harbour taking a large part of our seawall along with it. The event received extensive TV coverage and placed considerable stress on the then Executive Committee to come up with a solution and quickly. Concerned with the state of the remaining seawall and the need to replace the lost seawall, we approached Tony at Seawall Restorations for advice.

Seawall Restorations helped us understand the existing problems with our seawall and provided a comprehensive solution that was both timely and cost effective in the long run. They were not the cheapest but when we compared the work carried out at the next door property by the cheapest provider with the standard of work provided by Seawall Restorations, it was clear that our decision was the right one. Seawall Restorations are a quality outfit without compromise.

The result was outstanding and we are extremely happy and glad we chose Seawall Restorations. Their 'no nonsense' approach and hardworking attitude was appreciated. It is clear they love what they do and they do it very well. I would recommend Seawall restorations to anyone considering any landscaping, stonemasonry or paving solutions.

10 out of 10. Well done boys….

It is a professional privilege to have received correspondence this week from Tony Hopkins of Seawall Restorations.

Tony and I had a successful interest in Sea Wall Construction over a fifteen or so year period. Projects included extensive reconstruction to Sydney Rowing Club, a multi-dwelling site at Waruda Street, Kirribilli and various repointing and stabilisation projects along Sydney Harbour.

The success of our relationship was based on Tony's passion for and expertise in masonry.

John Sentance, SJS Constructions, Port Macquarie

I am writing to thank you for the amazing work that you did in restoring our seawall on Terrigal lagoon. Your quote was thorough and reasonable and you worked exactly within that quote. Once we accepted the quote you started promptly and attended every day until the wall was complete. You both worked tirelessly under difficult conditions and we were not inconvenienced by any construction work that went on around us. Your work was of the highest quality and the beautiful sandstone seawall, as well as the landscaping work that you did afterwards, has added considerable value to our home.

I would highly recommend you to anyone looking to do any seawall restoration, sandstone retaining walls and landscaping and would be happy to talk to anyone looking for a reference. I would tell them to look no further and sign you up while they can as it would be very difficult to find anyone that could offer as high a quality service as Seawall Restorations.

Thank you once again.

Maureen Stibbard, Terrigal

We engaged Tony as a subcontractor to remove and repair the existing sea wall at 80 St Georges Crescent, Drummoyne.

The quality of his work and level of service were exceptional throughout the job and would highly recommend him to others for his services in the future.

Paul Talone, Site Manager, Charas Constructions

Tony has worked and continues to work for us on a sub-contract bases in both our maintenance division and major projects division. His company has fulfilled its role with great professionalism and of a very high standard.

The projects Seawall Restorations has worked on include:

  • Construction of a New Seawall at Point Piper
  • Refurbishment of the seawall at Long Nose Point Birchgrove
  • Along with the above Tony & his company have carried out various smaller jobs in our maintenance division to a high standard.

Apart from Tony's high skill level he is a man of exceptional character. Tony is unfailingly loyal, totally dedicated and very patient. He accepts the challenges of outrageous deadlines with a smile and goes about his work with dilligence and good humour.

Being the owner of Restoration Seawalls, Tony is an excellent self-motivator, who can be relied upon to initiate tasks, evaluate and improve procedures and is able to direct other staff members with considerable skill.

I have no hesitation in recommending Tony's company (Seawall Restorations) in its endeavours for future projects.
