Professional masonry services that protect your property investment and stand up to Boston weather.
Your property stops bleeding money on constant repairs. Water stays outside where it belongs, not seeping through cracked mortar into your basement or walls.
You get stonework that actually matches your existing structure. No mismatched patches or obvious repair jobs that scream “cheap fix.” The work blends seamlessly because we understand South Boston’s historic architecture.
Your foundation stays stable. Your chimney works safely. Your commercial property maintains its professional appearance without surprise structural issues derailing your business operations.
Academy Masonry has been handling South Boston’s brick and stone challenges for years. We understand the unique demands of this area – from matching century-old brick on historic properties to dealing with the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior mortar work.
We’re licensed, insured, and familiar with local building codes. Most importantly, we know which materials actually work in this climate and which ones fail within a few seasons.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your property. You’re getting contractors who’ve solved these exact problems hundreds of times before.
First, we assess what’s actually wrong. Not just the obvious damage you can see, but the underlying issues causing it. Water infiltration, settling, poor previous repairs – we identify the real problem before proposing solutions.
Next, we explain your options clearly. Repair versus replacement, material choices, timeline, and realistic cost expectations. No surprises, no upselling unnecessary work.
Then we execute the plan. Proper preparation, quality materials, and techniques that account for Boston’s weather patterns. We handle permits when required and coordinate with other trades if your project involves multiple systems.
You get regular updates on progress and a thorough cleanup when we’re finished. The work is guaranteed because we stand behind what we build.
