Bruno Guerriero Construction is a Boston-based masonry and waterproofing outfit built for the unglamorous structural work — repointing century-old brick foundations, drying out flooded basements, and repairing seawalls. The company's own site says it's been incorporated since 1993, though its homepage tagline separately claims 'Trusted Since 1989'; it's owner-operated by Bruno Guerriero together with his partner Carlo, working mainly around Boston, Brookline, and Newton. That focus shows up review after review. A recent Google review describes a full foundation seal that stopped hydrostatic pressure from flooding a Boston basement, and another from the same period details an 1850s field-stone foundation repair that added a French drain, vapor barrier, and sump system to correct chronic water and humidity problems. Writing in 2025, one repeat customer said the crew has worked several of their North Shore properties over the years and that they 'always return to BGC' after getting other quotes; a seawall client, also writing in 2025, had a hole at the base of an 11-foot wall inspected and under contract within 24 hours, with the repair finished ahead of schedule. The pattern isn't new — a 2011 Angi review describes a similarly hands-on $5,500 restoration project, with the owner personally walking the customer through the plan. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and its BBB profile is an A+, accredited since 2006 (the BBB page itself lists no customer reviews or complaint count). Across dozens of Google and Angi reviews stretching back to 2011, none describe a complaint. The one open question is cost: the only reviews that mention a number are two older Angi jobs ($5,500 and $9,600), so current pricing is worth pinning down directly. This is the call for foundation, masonry, and waterproofing problems specifically — brick repointing, basement sealing, retaining walls, seawalls — rather than general remodeling, even though a handful of reviews mention broader 'renovation' work without detail.
The workers are true artists. They executed perfect pointing of the brick foundation in my house and my garage. Not only were they skillful, they were professional, courteous, answered all questions and photographed places that were not visible, such as under a covered porch. I am elderly and preferred to skip the crawl space. They were prompted, started work at 6:30 am and wrapped up at 4PM. I was totally satisfied with their work and highly recommend them.
