On r/CapeCod, AB Masonry comes up by the owner's first name. A commenter in July said he'd known Alex Barcelos for 15 years and hired him twice — front steps and a driveway at one house, then retaining walls, another driveway and some chimney work at his place in Chatham. His work, the commenter wrote, is "absolutely beautiful." Another commenter seconded the recommendation two days later. The permits line up with that. BuildZoom's profile for the Hyannis company shows two permitted projects in 2024, both chimney rebuilds — one in South Dennis at $4,500, one in Dennis Port at $15,000. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #183478, is active on the state registry. It's a small Hyannis outfit whose work reaches South Dennis, Dennis Port and Chatham: stonework, steps, retaining walls, chimneys. If that's your project, settle scope and price in writing before anyone starts, confirm insurance, and ask Alex for a nearby address or two you can drive past — masonry is the kind of work you can judge from the sidewalk.
“Seconding AB. Alex is a good dude.”
“AB Masonry out of Hyannis. I’ve known him for 15 years; He did the front steps & driveway at my old house”
