Around the Block Masonry

Around the Block Masonry is a Worcester masonry contractor listed at 249 James Street. Angi describes the company as locally owned and operated, with seven years of experience, and lists brick work, masonry, and block elevator-shaft or stairwell work among its services; it also says free estimates are available. The customer history is small but consistently positive. Four distinct Angi reviews, all from November 2019 through July 2020, describe repairs to a stone wall, stone stairs, a wall requiring extensive repair, and a leaking chimney. Reviewers repeatedly mention promptness, responsiveness, reasonable pricing, reliability, and polite communication; one says the chimney repair stopped the leaks. Angi and HomeAdvisor each display a 5.0 rating from four ratings, but HomeAdvisor identifies its four reviews as duplicates of the Angi set. Before booking, ask how the company approaches your specific masonry material and repair, request a written scope and estimate, and confirm current availability and licensing directly. The BBB profile places the business at the same Worcester address and categorizes it as a mason contractor, but says it is not accredited and is not rated. This looks like a reasonable fit for a homeowner seeking wall, stair, brick, or chimney masonry repairs, especially when a detailed on-site quote is useful. The strongest accounts are now dated, so confirm that the current crew, schedule, and workmanship standards match the older customer experiences.
