Professional stonework and brick repair that protects your Dorchester property investment for decades, not years.
Your foundation stays solid. Your chimney doesn’t leak. Your retaining walls don’t collapse after the next heavy rain.
That’s what happens when masonry work is done right the first time. You stop worrying about water damage creeping through cracked mortar joints. You stop watching cracks in your basement walls get bigger every winter.
Instead, you get structural integrity that protects your home’s value. You get stonework that handles New England weather without falling apart. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your property’s bones are strong.
Academy Masonry has been handling masonry projects throughout Dorchester for years. We understand how these older homes settle, where they typically develop problems, and what it takes to fix them properly.
We’re not the guys who show up, slap some mortar on the problem, and disappear. We’re the masonry contractor your neighbors call when they need work that actually holds up.
Licensed, insured, and local. We live in this community and our reputation depends on doing right by our neighbors.
First, we come out and assess what’s really going on. Not just the obvious damage you can see, but the underlying issues that caused it. We explain what needs to be fixed, what can wait, and what you’re looking at cost-wise.
Then we get to work. We remove failed materials completely, prep the area properly, and rebuild using techniques and materials that match your property’s age and style. No shortcuts, no patch jobs that’ll fail in two years.
Finally, we clean up and walk you through what we did. You’ll know exactly what was repaired and how to maintain it going forward. Most importantly, you’ll have masonry work that protects your property for the long haul.

We handle everything from small brick repairs to complete foundation restoration. Chimney repairs, retaining walls, front steps, basement walls, pointing and repointing – if it’s made of stone, brick, or block, we fix it.
Dorchester’s housing stock presents unique challenges. These triple-deckers and older homes weren’t built with modern waterproofing. They settle differently than newer construction. They need masonry contractors who understand how to work with historic materials and methods while bringing everything up to current safety standards.
That’s exactly what we do. We preserve the character of your property while making sure the structural elements are sound and safe.
