Bautista Masonry Corporation

Bautista Masonry Corporation works out of Waltham, building and repairing stonework, brickwork, and concrete around Metro Boston — patios, retaining walls, the kind of hardscape work that outlasts a paint job by decades. The company says it has been at it since 1992, now in its third generation of family ownership, still run by the family that started it. The one detailed account on record is a strong one: a 2023 customer who interviewed a dozen masonry companies before hiring Bautista described fast, clear communication and a bid that held up against last-minute changes, with results that matched the family's reputation for craft passed down three generations. The Better Business Bureau backs that impression with an A+ grade, and BuildZoom shows 14 permitted projects filed under the company's name. Massachusetts has verified the company's home improvement contractor registration as active. The Better Business Bureau lists a slightly shorter span — 27 years in business — against the company's own claim of 34, worth a quick ask when you call. An older, now-inactive HIC number also shows up on BuildZoom, which is normal when a business updates its registration over the years rather than a red flag on its own. For stonework, brick repair, or a new retaining wall, Bautista's family-run track record and clean licensing status make it a reasonable call — confirm current project timelines and get the bid details in writing before signing.
