Verified record
Built To Last Masonry is a one-person masonry business run by Jim Shaheen (also spelled Sheehan across listings), started in March 2015 per its BBB filing (11 years). The BBB address is 49 Elmwood St, North Attleboro, MA, while Angi and HomeAdvisor list the same street number under Mansfield, MA — the two towns share a border in that area, and the listings otherwise describe the same person and phone. The business specializes in brick and stone patios, walks and steps, siding repair, block walls, foundation waterproofing, and pavers. The written record is thin but entirely positive: all four reviews on file, dated 2008, describe careful, responsive work. In a September 2008 review, a customer described Jim thoroughly assessing front stair damage, walking through repair options, and rebuilding and repointing brick as promised. Another September 2008 review described Jim calling within 30 minutes of a service request, coming out the same night to look at a fireplace refacing job, and completing the work within days. A third, from August 2008, called the work superb and a great deal. There is no documentation of recent activity — every account on file is roughly 17 years old, and the business's self-reported experience is inconsistent (its own text says over 15 years in the trade, while a separate highlight badge says 21). Anyone considering this contractor for current work should confirm the business is still active and reachable, since nothing here reflects work in the last several years.
Quick and courteous
Jim Shaheen of Built to Last Masnry was the most comprehensive of the contractors I had quote on the job. He thoroughly assessed the front stair damage, provided a clear description of options, and made the most comprehensive and appropriate recommendation for repairs. He arrived when promised and did a beautiful job removing and rebuilding the bricks, and repointing those areas with less severe damage. I would recommend him for any masonry work.
Jim Sheehan/Built to Last gave me a call within 30 minutes of my submission to ServiceMagic. He was very polite and professional on the phone and had offered to come to my home the same night as he knew I was looking to have the fireplace refaced as soon as possible. That Friday, Jim was at the house working on the fireplace and had it completed by the time I returned from my weekend on Sunday night. I am extremely satisfied with the work he has done and I would recommend Built to Last to anyone looking to have any stone work done at their home, job-site, or place of business. You won't regret your decision! Patrick - Bridgewater, MA
