Ben and Sons Construction is a family-owned Beverly outfit built around fieldstone foundations — the century-old, stone-walled basements common on the North Shore that most contractors won't touch. The company also handles masonry repointing, brick stairs, and paving. Nine reviews from 2023 through 2024 tell essentially the same story: Ben and his son Leo show up when they say they will, hold to their price even when a job needs more material than planned, and leave the stonework solid. One 2024 review described a fieldstone foundation repaired and waterproofed on a nearly 100-year-old home with everything happening exactly as promised; another from that March said Ben honored his original quote despite needing a few extra coats of sealant. A 2023 reviewer called Ben out on a Sunday to patch a hole in a basement wall and priced out a full basement waterproofing job for later that year — the customer's second time hiring the company. Several reviews single out punctuality specifically: one homeowner noted the crew arrived at 7:55 for an 8am start, adding they didn't have to "hope" the crew would show, the way they had with other contractors. There's nothing negative in the record to flag — every review on file, across Google and Angi, is five stars, and several come from repeat customers. The one thing worth confirming directly is scope: the company's site also lists paving and outdoor living spaces, but every review here is about foundation, masonry, and stone work, so it's worth asking whether a bigger project outside that lane gets the same hands-on attention. For a fieldstone or masonry foundation that needs real repointing and waterproofing rather than a patch job, Ben and Sons is the kind of contractor North Shore homeowners keep calling back.
