Complete Masonry Services Under One Roof

We handle everything from small brick repairs to complete stone wall installations. Chimney repairs, pointing and repointing, retaining walls, patios, walkways, and foundation work. If it involves stone, brick, or mortar, we do it.

Milton’s historic homes require specialized knowledge about traditional masonry techniques and materials. We know how to match existing stonework and use appropriate mortars that won’t damage older masonry. Modern techniques where they improve durability, traditional methods where they’re still the best approach.

Our material suppliers provide quality stone and brick that can handle New England’s freeze-thaw cycles. We don’t cut corners on materials because we know you’ll be looking at this work for decades.

Most residential masonry projects take between 3-10 days, depending on size and complexity. A simple chimney repair might be done in a day, while a large retaining wall could take two weeks. Weather plays a big role in timing 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 work – mortar needs proper curing time, and shortcuts lead to problems later.
Repointing means removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar while keeping the existing stones or bricks. It’s like getting new grout in your bathroom – same tiles, fresh joints. Rebuilding means tearing down and reconstructing part or all of the structure. Repointing costs much less and solves most masonry problems if caught early. We’ll always recommend repointing when it’s sufficient because it saves you money and preserves the original character of your masonry.
Look for white staining on the outside (efflorescence), loose or missing mortar, damaged bricks, or rust stains. Inside, check for water damage or white staining in the fireplace. Small cracks and minor mortar loss can usually be repaired. Major structural issues, severe water damage, or a leaning chimney typically require rebuilding. We’ll inspect the entire chimney structure, not just what’s visible, and give you an honest assessment of what actually needs to be done.
Yes, matching existing masonry is one of our specialties. We source materials from suppliers who carry traditional stones and can often find close matches for historic properties. The mortar mix is just as important as the stone – older buildings need lime-based mortars that are softer than the stone, not modern Portland cement that can damage historic masonry. We take samples and test different combinations to get the best match for both appearance and structural compatibility with your existing work.
We warranty our workmanship and will come back to address any issues that result from our installation. Most masonry problems that develop quickly are due to poor installation, not material failure. Quality masonry work should last decades without major issues. If something does go wrong, we’ll evaluate whether it’s a workmanship issue, settling, or normal wear and tear. We want you to be satisfied with the work long-term, so we’ll work with you to resolve any legitimate concerns.
Costs vary widely based on the type of work, materials, and site conditions. Simple repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while major projects can run several thousand. We price by the project, not by the hour, so you know the total cost upfront. Factors that affect pricing include access to the work area, type of stone or brick, complexity of the design, and current condition of existing masonry. We’ll provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down all costs so you can make an informed decision.
