Boston and Wakefield Masonry

Boston and Wakefield Masonry is Marty Hardiman's stonework shop, run out of Wakefield and built around walls and entries: retaining and border walls, wall repair, front walks, stairs and steps, and stone fireplace refacing, with flagstone, pavers, repointing and interior stone veneer also on its Houzz list. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #190800, is active on the state registry in the company's own name. The detail here sits in pictures rather than in customer write-ups. Houzz carries 22 projects and BuildZoom five more, alongside a sample building permit history and a BuildZoom score of 91. The Houzz page shows a 5.0 average from two ratings with no written reviews behind them, and the HomeAdvisor page is an unfilled review form. Houzz also lists a Massachusetts masonry licence number, 105995, which is the platform's own entry rather than something confirmed against the state registry. The company says it covers Boston and the towns north of it: Melrose, Wakefield, Stoneham, Lynnfield, Malden, Winchester, Reading, North Reading and Medford. For a stone wall, a set of front steps or a fireplace reface in that stretch north of Boston, the registration checks out and the project photos are the thing to go through. Ask Marty for a few nearby jobs you can drive past, and settle the scope and the stone in writing before anyone starts.
