Award Masonry & Construction

Award Masonry & Construction is a West Roxbury outfit doing chimney, masonry and basement waterproofing work, along with roofing, siding and driveway jobs per its own listings. The company describes itself as veteran owned and operated, in business over 30 years with more than 50 employees — claims made on its own Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles rather than independently verified here. Its Angi and HomeAdvisor pages both show a perfect 5.0-star average across 20 reviews, and among the handful with real detail, in a 2023 review a homeowner described a $14,500 basement crack repair and waterproofing job after tremendous water intrusion, another recounted a full roof shingle replacement, and a third mentioned new front steps installed for their home. Several other reviewers, also writing in 2023, specifically praised chimney repair work. Worth knowing before calling: all 20 of those reviews, across both platforms, are dated within the same six-week window in March and April 2023 — nothing before it and nothing since — and most are brief, generic two- or three-sentence praise without naming a job at all. That clustering doesn't necessarily mean anything was wrong with the work, but it does mean this read leans on a narrow slice of time rather than a longer, steadier track record. Award looks like a reasonable call for chimney, masonry or basement waterproofing work given the specific jobs described, but given how concentrated the review history is and how much of the company's own experience claims go unverified, it's worth asking for recent references before signing on for a larger project.
