The company describes itself as a veteran-owned residential mason doing chimney and foundation repair, waterproofing, repointing and new brick, stone and concrete work across Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Angi shows 5.0 stars from 45 ratings and Thumbtack 4.9 from 19. Derek Pacheco's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#193696) is expired. His Massachusetts construction supervisor license (CSFA-105381) is expired, recorded by the registry as "Null and Void." In a November 2024 Angi review, a customer said Arch Masonry repointed their chimney and Derek explained every step. A November 2022 reviewer said the crew replaced crumbling brick steps with granite and stone veneer and worked through foundation surprises and bad weather. In a September 2021 review, a customer described nearly 100-year-old front steps and landing rebuilt after cracked bricks and badly pitched treads had been trapping water. An October 2021 reviewer used the company twice to parge a full basement and a fieldstone barn foundation. In a June 2023 review, a customer said a company Arch hired to deliver granite destroyed their hand-railing, and Derek took responsibility and stayed with the repair until it was done. **Strengths:** - Step rebuilds — 2021 and 2022 reviews describe rebuilt steps and a landing - Chimney work — November 2024 reviewer praises clear, thorough repointing - Owns problems — June 2023 reviewer says Derek fixed subcontractor damage **Concerns:** - Expired registration — home improvement registration #193696 has expired - Supervisor licence — construction supervisor licence CSFA-105381 is null and void ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #193696 (holder: Derek Pacheco) is expired _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 193696 registry-verified expired — registry holder of record: Derek Pacheco” - Massachusetts construction supervisor licence CSFA-105381 (holder: Derek Pacheco) is expired (registry: "Null and Void") _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://madpl.mylicense.com/Verification/) — “MA csl license CSFA-105381 registry-verified expired (registry's own word: "Null and Void") — registry holder of record: DEREK PACHECO” - 5.0 stars from 45 Angi ratings; 4.9 stars from 19 Thumbtack ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/westport/masonry-contractors/arch-masonry-restoration-/service/338422496925049004) — “Thumbtack: 4.9★ from 19 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/westport/arch-masonry-restoration-reviews-1.htm) — “Angi: 5.0★ from 45 ratings” - BBB grade A+; BBB lists owner Derek Pacheco and a business start of 1/1/2017 _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/westport/profile/mason-contractors/arch-masonry-restoration-0021-538078) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/westport/profile/mason-contractors/arch-masonry-restoration-0021-538078) — “BBB profile for ARCH Masonry Restoration of Westport, MA: not accredited, A+ rating, business started 1/1/2017 (9 years), sole proprietorshi…” - Step and porch rebuilds described in 2021 and 2022 reviews _(confidence: high)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/westport/arch-masonry-restoration-reviews-1.htm) — “5★ Derek and his crew were very prompt and courteous.
