Boston Masonry Pros

Boston Masonry Pros says it's been fixing Boston-area brick, stone and chimney work for over two decades — but its own About page tells a different, more specific story: a company founded in 2015 that grew from a single truck run by someone who apprenticed on South End brownstones. The two claims don't add up, and it's worth knowing before you dig further. What's actually documented is a handful of specific, recent jobs. In late August and early September 2026, homeowners describe the crew leveling a shifted stone walkway, repairing a cracked chimney with missing mortar joints, fixing loose bricks on a set of front steps, patching brick before winter, and tuckpointing an older wall without leaving mortar smeared behind. Each review names the actual problem and describes a proportionate fix, and a reviewer who mentions scheduling says the crew showed up on time and cleaned up afterward. The catch is timing: every one of those reviews falls inside a three-week window, and the company's BBB file was opened just weeks before that, with no accreditation or rating yet. For a business that markets itself as having completed 500-plus projects over 20-plus years, having its entire visible history — reviews and BBB file alike — start within the same few weeks is a real gap between the marketing and what can actually be checked. None of this means the individual jobs described weren't done, or done well — the reviews read as specific accounts of real repairs. But the tenure claim doesn't hold up against the company's own history page, and there's no way yet to see how this crew performs on an older job, a bigger project, or a dispute. Anyone considering them for brick, chimney or foundation work should ask directly how long the current operation has actually been running, and weigh the decades-long marketing claim against the fact that its whole visible history is a few weeks old.
