Bella Masonry And Construction

Bella Masonry and Construction is a North Brookfield, MA outfit run by Adam Mercurio, a licensed contractor the company describes as family-owned and firefighter/first-responder owned. The name that shows up in nearly every one of its 37 reviews is Adam's own — homeowners across six years keep describing him personally walking them through foundation cracks, bulkhead failures, and basement water problems. In an April 2025 review, a homeowner called a foundation repair one of the easiest transactions they'd had, adding that it was the first time in years they enjoyed the sound of rain because they knew their basement would stay dry. A 2024 review describes Adam spending an hour on the phone, unprompted and before being hired, diagnosing an aging fieldstone foundation — a level of engagement the reviewer said set him apart from other masons they'd consulted. Several older reviews tell similar stories: in a 2022 review, Adam solved a foundation crack that had let water into a cellar for a year and a half in a single visit; another 2022 review describes new cement and full debris cleanup around basement window openings that was still holding, leak-free, more than a year later; and a 2019 review describes him surveying a home's outside grading and downspouts before designing an inside waterproofing drainage system. The company holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor license under Adam Mercurio's name, is a BBB-accredited A+ business (accredited since 2017), and is a certified installer of Rhino Carbon Fiber crack-injection products. Angi shows a 4.8 rating from 37 reviews. One account on the record is serious and needs to be said plainly. A 2020 review — the one negative mark in the history — describes a much larger remodel than Bella's usual foundation and bulkhead work: a roof replacement that went fine, but window, retaining-wall, deck and siding modifications the homeowner called a 'nightmare.' They describe loose dirt left exposed with the retaining wall down, rain entering the house through removed windows with no help offered until the following Monday, and the company refusing to continue the work. Angi's own summary of that review separately notes a code-compliance dispute and a lien. It stands apart from everything else on file — no comparable complaint appears in the years since — but a homeowner considering Bella for a large, multi-trade remodel, rather than its core foundation and bulkhead work, should ask about it directly. Bella is well suited to foundation crack repair, bulkhead installation and replacement, and basement waterproofing — the work the overwhelming majority of its reviews describe in detail; for a larger remodel job outside that core, get the scope and code requirements nailed down in writing before work starts.
