Your Property—Stronger and More Beautiful

You need masonry work that holds up to Massachusetts winters and looks great for years. That means proper materials, correct techniques, and understanding how freeze-thaw cycles affect different stone and mortar combinations.

The difference shows in the details that most contractors skip. Proper drainage behind retaining walls. ortar joints that shed water instead of collecting it, and stonework that complements your property instead of looking like an afterthought. That’s what you get when you work with skilled local masonry contractors.

Most residential masonry repairs take 1-3 days, depending on the scope of work. Simple mortar repointing might be completed in a day, while chimney rebuilds or retaining wall construction can take several days. Weather affects outdoor masonry work, so we build realistic timelines that account for Massachusetts conditions. We provide specific timeframes during your estimate and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule.
Freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest threat to masonry in Wilmington. Water seeps into cracks or poor mortar joints, freezes, expands, and creates major problems. Poor drainage behind retaining walls causes similar issues. Using the wrong type of mortar for New England’s weather also leads to premature failure. We see a lot of repair work that could have been prevented with proper initial installation and appropriate materials for our climate.
Yes, we respond to emergency masonry situations, such as unstable retaining walls, damaged chimneys, or structural masonry problems that pose safety risks. Often, we can provide temporary stabilization quickly and schedule permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow. Emergency work receives priority scheduling, and we’re available for urgent situations that can’t wait for regular business hours.
Masonry costs vary significantly and depend on the type of work, materials, and project complexity. Simple repointing might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete chimney rebuilds or large retaining walls cost several thousand. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. The estimate includes everything needed to complete the job properly.
Natural fieldstone and granite work well for retaining walls in Massachusetts because they handle freeze-thaw cycles better than softer stones. In most cases, proper drainage behind the wall matters more than stone choice. We recommend stones based on your specific site conditions, desired appearance, and budget. The key is using appropriate materials and building techniques that prevent water buildup behind the wall.
Yes, we at Academy Masonry carry full licensing and insurance coverage required for masonry work in Massachusetts. This includes liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. Working with properly licensed and insured contractors protects you from liability and ensures the work meets local building code requirements.
