Bass Restoration & Waterproofing, Inc.

Bass Restoration & Waterproofing is a Hanover, Massachusetts outfit whose documented jobs are commercial: a parking-garage deck coating in Cambridge, concrete repairs at a parking garage in Brookline, and masonry, flashing, and lintel work at an apartment complex in Waltham, not single-family homes. A trade directory names Braxton Bass as the owner, and the company's own site claims more than 40 years of experience in masonry restoration and waterproofing, though it doesn't say when the business was actually founded. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #194910) checks out as active with the state registry. Past that, the trail thins out fast. Google shows a 2.3-star average from just 6 ratings, and only a couple of people appear to have left written reviews at all — one of them blunt and negative about the quality of the work, which drags the average down more than a scattering of praise could lift it back up. BuildZoom, by contrast, lists no reviews for the company at all, so there isn't much else to check that number against. What's left is a résumé built more from B2B project listings — Blue Book and a Procore-linked profile place it doing masonry, concrete, and waterproofing work for general contractors and property managers on garages and multi-unit buildings — than from homeowner feedback. If you're sizing it up for a residential waterproofing or masonry job, it's worth asking directly for references from smaller, single-family work, since almost nothing in its record speaks to that scale, and worth asking what happened on the job that one reviewer called poor before committing to anything larger.
