What You Get With Proper Masonry

Your foundation stays solid. Water stays out where it belongs. Your chimney draws properly and doesn’t leak into your living room during the next storm.

That’s what happens when masonry work is done right the first time. You stop worrying about cracks getting worse or mortar crumbling every winter. Your property value holds steady instead of dropping because of obvious structural issues.

The stonework looks clean and professional. Neighbors notice. More importantly, you sleep better knowing the bones of your building are sound and built to handle whatever Massachusetts weather throws at them.

Masonry Repair Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and assess what you’re dealing with. We look at the actual problem, not just the symptoms you can see. Foundation cracks often start somewhere else. Chimney leaks might be flashing issues, not stonework.

We give you a straight assessment of what needs fixing now versus what can wait. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Once we start, we protect your landscaping and clean up daily. We use quality materials that match your existing work. The job isn’t finished until you’re satisfied and everything is cleaned up properly.

Foundation repair costs depend on the extent of damage and access to the problem area. Minor crack sealing might run $500-1500, while major foundation work can range from $3000-15000 or more. We assess each situation individually because every foundation issue is different. Factors like soil conditions, age of the structure, and severity of settling all affect the final price. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why, so you understand what you’re paying for before we start.
Spring through fall is ideal for most masonry projects in Massachusetts. Mortar needs temperatures above 40 degrees to cure properly, and we need dry conditions for the work to set correctly. Winter emergency repairs are possible but limited to urgent structural issues. We typically schedule major projects between April and November. However, we can handle urgent repairs year-round when safety is a concern. Planning ahead for spring scheduling usually gets you better pricing and more flexible timing than waiting until you have an emergency.
Most chimney repointing projects take 2-4 days depending on the height and condition of the chimney. We remove old, damaged mortar and replace it with new mortar that matches the original. Weather affects timing since mortar needs proper curing conditions. Taller chimneys or those with extensive damage take longer. We also inspect the chimney structure while we work and let you know if we find other issues that need attention. The work includes cleaning up debris and protecting your roof and landscaping during the process.
Yes, matching existing stonework is a big part of what we do in Auburndale. Many homes here are 50-100+ years old with specific stone types and mortar colors that need to be matched properly. We source materials that blend with your existing work and mix mortar to match the original color and texture. This takes experience because older homes often used local stone that’s no longer available. We know where to find suitable replacements and how to make repairs look seamless rather than patched.
Poor drainage is the biggest culprit. Water builds up behind the wall with no way to escape, creating pressure that eventually pushes the wall over. Inadequate foundations, using the wrong materials, or not accounting for soil conditions also cause failures. Many DIY retaining walls fail because they look simple but require proper engineering for anything over 3-4 feet tall. We build retaining walls with proper drainage systems, adequate foundations, and materials rated for the specific soil and water conditions on your property.
Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance coverage for all masonry work in Massachusetts. This includes general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. This protects you if someone gets injured on your property or if something goes wrong during the work. Many contractors skip proper insurance to keep their prices low, but that leaves you liable if there’s an accident. We handle the paperwork and permits when required so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.
