Blu Masonry

Twenty-seven Google reviews, every one five stars, and no complaints anywhere in the record — that's the headline for this Andover stone and hardscape shop. Victor runs field operations, Thaynara handles contracts and finance, and the company positions itself as a stonework specialist rather than a general contractor: patios, retaining walls, chimney and foundation repointing, and basement waterproofing. The reviews keep returning to the same thing: problems get solved on the spot instead of pushed back to the homeowner. One customer needed a custom flashing detail for a stone veneer job — instead of waiting weeks on a special order, the crew fabricated it on-site and installed it the same day. Another project turned into a small engineering exercise: expanding a driveway from one car to two meant re-engineering the support under an overhanging porch, and the company handled the permits, the engineering, and historical-society approval before ever touching stone. The written record covers more than patios and steps. In a 2024 review, a homeowner described the crew repointing the crumbling brick foundation of an 1880s home, covering it in a stucco coating, then following up with two coats of waterproofing slurry, staying on site until the cleanup was finished. A separate 2024 review described a full basement waterproofing job with French drains and a releveled floor, done on a tight timeline that had the crew working past 9pm some nights. Older jobs on file include a bluestone-capped retaining wall and patio in Somerville and a set of church parsonage steps that drew compliments from passersby. More recent work (spring and summer 2026) skews toward stone veneer and patio installs, and reviewers keep naming Victor directly for responsiveness — texting back outside normal hours, showing up on time, and occasionally fixing a drainage problem beyond the original scope. The company is an authorized installer for both Techo-Bloc and Unilock paver systems, paired with structural work most patio companies won't take on, like porch supports and foundation repointing. There's nothing to flag before calling — the last six months alone brought six reviews and zero negatives, matching the pattern across the full two-plus-year history. Worth confirming directly: pricing and timeline for anything beyond stonework, since the reviews say little about cost.
