## The honest read

BrickGuard Masonry & Restoration builds new chimneys and steps, and holds a 4.8-star Google average from 50 ratings. Its website says it handles foundation and masonry work in Connecticut and the surrounding areas.

One recent customer thought a chimney needed a complete rebuild; that customer said Paul repaired it in places and repointed it for half the price. A recent customer's step got a complete rebuild, and when the work was finished they asked for the driveway to be cleaned, which was done for a low price. A recent customer said the company power washed and resealed their driveway and that it still looked new two months later. A recent customer said the team helped with their foundation and there had not been one drop of water in 11 months.

A 2026 customer with a serious leak in the basement said Dennis gave an estimate 1,200 dollars cheaper than the next company. A 2026 customer said a waterproofing job left no more leaks and was done quickly and neatly. A 2026 customer said the job was done way before schedule and that Dennis called back within 5 minutes when he missed a call. A 2025 customer said the company put in new steps, a walkway and a porch.

A 1-star customer hired Paul for power washing, paver sanding and sealing of a driveway, patio and walkway in West Haven. That customer said the area was left in a mess, ant hills and weeds appeared between the pavers within 2 weeks, Paul was a no-show for the first scheduled repair, and the second scheduled day came and went with no word; they hired a different masonry crew to redo the work. A recent customer said there was no guarantee and that after paying they could not find anyone.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0704057, as active, held by Brickguard Masonry & Restoration Corp.

**Strengths:**
- A chimney repoint — a customer said repair and repointing came at half the price
- A dry foundation — a customer said not one drop of water in 11 months
- A lower leak estimate — a 2026 customer said it was 1,200 dollars under the next company
- A resealed driveway — a customer said it still looked new two months later

**Concerns:**
- Paver job follow-up — a customer said Paul missed the scheduled repair dates
- No guarantee — a customer said they could not find anyone after paying
