Quality masonry services that protect your investment and stand up to New England weather year after year.
You get masonry work that doesn’t crack, shift, or leak after the first winter. Your foundation stays dry. Your chimney draws properly without smoke backing up into your house. Your retaining walls actually retain soil instead of bowing outward after heavy rains.
When masonry is done right, you stop worrying about water damage creeping into your basement. You stop seeing those hairline cracks turn into major structural issues. Your property value goes up instead of down.
The difference between good masonry and everything else becomes obvious when other homeowners are dealing with costly repairs while your stonework looks exactly like it did the day we finished it. That’s what happens when someone actually knows how to mix mortar, lay stone, and build for New England’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Academy Masonry has been handling masonry projects throughout Framingham Center and the surrounding MetroWest area for years. We understand how New England weather affects different types of stone and brick, and we know which materials and techniques actually work in this climate.
We’re not the crew that shows up, slaps some mortar around, and disappears. We’re the company other contractors call when they need masonry work done on their own homes. That tells you something about the quality of work we deliver.
Our team knows Framingham’s building codes, permit requirements, and the common masonry issues that affect homes in this area. When you work with local professionals who’ve seen every type of masonry problem this region can throw at you, the job gets done right the first time.
First, we come out and actually look at what you’re dealing with. Not a quick glance and a ballpark estimate, but a real assessment of the problem, the underlying causes, and what it’s going to take to fix it properly. We explain what we find in plain language so you understand exactly what needs to happen.
Next, we give you a detailed estimate that covers materials, labor, timeline, and any permits required. No surprises, no change orders for things we should have caught during the initial assessment. We order the right materials for your specific project and New England weather conditions.
Then we show up when we say we will and complete the work according to the plan we discussed. We clean up the job site daily and keep you informed about progress. When we’re finished, you get masonry work that’s going to perform exactly as intended for decades, not just until the next hard freeze.
