Patios, front walks and retaining walls feature in customers’ accounts of Bay State Brick & Stone. The Mansfield business, also called Bay State Brick & Stonework, says it began in West Roxbury in 1989 and provides masonry restoration and new construction for residential, commercial and institutional customers. Its stated service area includes Boston, Cambridge, Mansfield, Brookline, Newton and Westwood. In a September 2025 Google review, a customer described several projects over five years, including a large patio for a pergola and the resetting of two older bluestone patios. They said Mike addressed questions and changes quickly, and that the work was completed on time and as quoted. The customer also said Bay State cost more than competing quotes, while praising support after the job. A separate September 2025 reviewer described a front-walkway replacement. They identified Mike as the owner, praised his patience in discussing options and said the crew left the yard tidy at the end of each day. An October 2025 repeat customer described Mike overseeing the crew at the beginning of projects and returning at the end to check the work. That customer also praised Christine in the office for prompt scheduling and follow-ups. Another October reviewer said Mike and his crew had handled projects for them over 15 years. Foundation work brought a more qualified recommendation. In a December 2022 review, a homeowner said the crew repointed and tooled joints in a fieldstone foundation to address water penetration. The initial patch failed after the first rain, they wrote, but Mike and the team returned a few days later for touch-ups. The customer said water penetration was significantly reduced rather than eliminated, and still recommended the company. They also said Bay State was not the least expensive of the contractors they consulted. Google shows a 4.1-star average from nine ratings. One September 2025 retaining-wall review carries two stars, although its written account praises the result, says completion was sooner than expected and recommends the company. Bay State’s website states a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration number and claims a construction supervisor license; those are the company’s own credential claims.
Mike and the team at Bay State Brick & Stone have completed several masonry projects at my home—both large and small—and I’ve been consistently impressed with the results. Mike clearly takes great pride in his work. He’s hands-on from start to finish, personally overseeing the crew at the start of each project and returning at the end to ensure everything meets his high standards. His attention to detail and commitment to quality really stand out. The work is always top-notch. Equally impressive is the communication. Christine in the office is prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with, making scheduling and follow-ups seamless. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding customer service—Bay State Brick & Stone does both.
Mike and his crew have done large and small projects for us over the past 15 years, and their work has always been of the highest quality. I enthusiastically recommend them.
We have had Bay State Brick & Stone for several projects over the past 5 years. Mike & his team have performed exceptionally well. We first had work of poor quality by another construction team. Mike came in and cleaned up all our issues quickly and efficiently. They have installed a large patio for our new pergola. They were always on time and put in the full effort to assure it was completed on time and as quoted. All our questions and changes were quickly addressed and corrected by Mike. They also reworked and reset two smaller bluestone patios we've had for many years. They came out looking brand new. We couldn't have had the results without his expertise and the dedicated efforts of his team. They always went above and beyond. We noticed a comment or two about cost. Bay State is a bit pricier than other quotes. However, You get what you paid for. On time, excellent work, and full support even after the job is done. We would gladly recommend Bay State Brick and Stone to anyone.
Bay State and Brick are the best. I recently had a retaining wall rebuilt by this company. Mike and his team did an excellent job. The wall looks awesome and other people have commented on the how great it looks. A job will done. It was completed sooner than I thought. I have recommended Bay State Brick and Stone to friends and others who need masonry work done. I truly believe the company is the best. Thank you Mike and your team for doing such great work.
Bay State Brick & Stonework did a fantastic job replacing our front walkway. Mike, the owner, was amazing, he was patient and took the time to understand what we wanted to do and offer different options. He was very pleasant and great to work with. The crew did an extremely tidy job, they always left the yard immaculate at the end of the day. The results speak for themselves - the quality craftsmanship and design truly elevates our home’s curb appeal. We’ve received compliments from many neighbors! Will use again and would highly recommend.
