Complete Masonry Services

Full-Service Masonry for Every Need

You get comprehensive masonry services that cover everything from small repairs to major installations. Whether you need brick pointing, stone veneer installation, chimney repair, or complete masonry restoration, we handle residential and commercial projects with the same attention to detail.

Our masonry services include foundation work, retaining walls, walkways, patios, and structural repairs. We work with natural stone, brick, concrete block, and specialty materials to match your existing structures or create something entirely new.

What sets our approach apart is understanding how different masonry techniques perform in Braintree’s climate. We select materials and methods that make sense for your specific situation, not just what’s easiest to install. That means better performance and fewer problems down the road.

Most residential masonry projects take between 3-10 days depending on scope and weather conditions. Small repairs like repointing or minor stonework might be completed in a day or two, while larger projects like retaining walls or extensive restoration work can take 1-2 weeks. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule. Commercial projects vary more widely based on size and complexity, but we’ll give you a detailed timeline during the estimate process.
Repointing involves removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar while keeping the existing stones or bricks. This works when the masonry units themselves are in good condition but the mortar joints have deteriorated. Rebuilding means taking down and reconstructing sections where the stones or bricks are damaged, shifted, or structurally compromised. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach that ensures long-term stability and performance.
Look for obvious signs like loose or missing mortar, cracks wider than a quarter-inch, bulging or leaning walls, or stones that move when pushed. Water stains, efflorescence (white chalky deposits), or vegetation growing in mortar joints also indicate problems that need attention. In New England, freeze-thaw damage can accelerate quickly, so addressing issues before winter prevents more extensive damage. If you’re unsure, we can assess the situation and help you prioritize repairs based on safety and cost considerations.
Some masonry work can be done in winter, but temperature and weather conditions affect what’s possible. Mortar needs temperatures above freezing to cure properly, so we typically avoid major projects during the coldest months. However, emergency repairs and some types of dry-laid stonework can often be completed year-round. We’ll be honest about timing and may recommend waiting for better conditions rather than compromising quality. Planning masonry projects for spring through fall generally provides the best results and most reliable scheduling.
Masonry costs vary significantly based on materials, project complexity, and site conditions. Simple repointing might cost $10-15 per square foot, while new stone veneer installation can range from $25-50 per square foot depending on stone type and installation requirements. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Investing in quality masonry work typically costs less long-term than repeatedly fixing cheaper installations that fail prematurely.
