Quality stonework and brick repair that solves problems permanently, not temporarily.
You get masonry work that holds up, not something that cracks, shifts, or leaks five years later. Your foundation stays solid, your chimney stays dry, and your patio drains the way it should.
Most issues we fix come from shortcuts: the wrong mortar mix, skipped prep, or poor drainage. When you hire a skilled masonry contractor, the job gets done right—and only once.
Quality stonework boosts your property value and curb appeal. Buyers notice solid, well-maintained masonry—and they definitely notice when it’s falling apart. Done properly, it adds value and saves you from future repair headaches.
Academy Masonry has been handling masonry projects throughout Melrose and the greater Boston area for years. As local masonry contractors, we understand how New England weather affects different types of stone and brick.
Most homes in Melrose were built with real craftsmanship, and we continue that tradition with every project. Whether we’re matching historic brick or installing new stonework, we bring the same attention to detail that built these homes in the first place. We also know what materials perform best in New England’s tough climate.
We’re licensed, insured, and reliable. When we give you a start date, we stick to it. Our masonry work speaks for itself across Melrose homes and businesses.
First, we take the time to understand what’s really going on; not just the visible damage, but the root cause. Whether it’s poor drainage, settling, or the wrong materials used before, we identify the actual problem before offering a solution.
Next, we walk you through the plan. You’ll know exactly what needs to happen, why it matters, what materials we’ll use, and how long the project should take. No surprises. No change orders for things that should’ve been caught on day one.
We prep the site properly, use materials suited to your property and climate, and leave the space clean when we’re finished. The result? Masonry work that looks great and holds up for decades—not just until the next storm rolls through.

At Academy Masonry, we handle everything from small brick repairs to complete foundation work. Chimney repairs, patio installations, retaining walls, walkways, and structural masonry; if it’s made of stone or brick, we can fix it or build it.
Many Melrose homes need specialized restoration work. We know how to match historic materials and techniques while meeting current building codes. Your restored masonry looks original but is more durable and can withstand modern-day challenges.
We also handle masonry for new construction. Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, decorative stonework, and functional retaining walls, all built to last through New England winters and designed to complement your home’s existing architecture.
