Stone Mason Services Holliston

Complete Masonry Solutions for Every Need

Our masonry services cover everything from small repairs to major construction projects. Foundation work, retaining walls, patios, walkways, chimneys, and structural repairs – we handle residential and commercial projects with the same attention to detail.

Holliston’s historic character requires contractors who understand both traditional techniques and modern building standards. We work with natural stone, brick, concrete block, and specialty materials to match existing structures or create something entirely new.

Every project includes proper drainage planning, appropriate material selection for local climate conditions, and construction methods that ensure longevity. We don’t just build it – we build it to last through decades of New England seasons.

Most residential masonry projects take 3-10 days depending on size and complexity. A simple patio or walkway might be done in a long weekend, while major foundation work or large retaining walls typically require 1-2 weeks. Weather plays a role since we can’t work in freezing temperatures or heavy rain. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions cause delays. The key is not rushing the process – proper curing time is essential for masonry that lasts.
Quality masonry starts with proper foundation preparation and drainage planning. Cheap work skips these steps, leading to settling, cracking, and water damage within a few years. We use appropriate materials for New England’s climate, proper mortar mixes, and construction techniques that handle freeze-thaw cycles. Quality work also includes details like proper joint spacing, adequate reinforcement, and finishing that looks professional. The upfront cost difference is minimal compared to having to rebuild failed work in 5-10 years.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections for projects that require them. Most structural work, foundation repairs, and larger retaining walls need permits in Holliston. We know local building codes and what inspectors look for, so there are no surprises or delays. The permit costs are included in your estimate upfront. Some smaller projects like patios or walkways may not require permits, and we’ll let you know either way during the planning phase.
Matching existing masonry is one of our specialties, especially important in Holliston’s historic neighborhoods. We can source materials that closely match original stone, brick, or block, and use traditional techniques when needed. Sometimes exact matches aren’t possible due to quarry changes over decades, but we can achieve very close results that blend naturally. We’ll show you material samples before starting work so you know exactly how the finished project will look next to your existing structures.
We stand behind our work with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. Most structural masonry comes with multi-year warranties, while smaller projects typically have one-year coverage. If issues arise that are related to our work, we’ll return to fix them at no charge. We also provide guidance on proper maintenance to help your masonry last as long as possible. Our goal is building long-term relationships in the community, so we make sure you’re satisfied with the results.
Spring through fall offers the best conditions for masonry work in Massachusetts. We typically work from April through November, depending on weather. Summer and early fall are ideal since materials cure properly in moderate temperatures. Winter work is possible for emergency repairs using special cold-weather techniques, but major projects are better scheduled for warmer months. We recommend planning ahead and booking spring projects during winter months since our schedule fills up quickly during prime construction season.
