Burns Masonry Inc. is a Weymouth, Massachusetts crew built around one thing: making damaged brick and stone look untouched again. One customer summed up a recent foundation repointing job simply -- "the mortar match is perfect, you can't even tell it was repaired." The company, run by Francis "Frank" Burns, says it has over 10 years of experience covering Weymouth, Boston, and the wider Greater Boston area with repointing, chimney repair, foundation repair, and restoration work. On Google, Burns Masonry holds a 4.8-star average across 65 ratings, and the specifics in recent reviews back it up. This spring, customers hired the crew for brick facade repointing, interior stone foundation and exterior garage work, and fieldstone foundation repair paired with basement floor excavation and repour -- several naming Frank directly for walking through the job in person, breaking the estimate into sub-projects, and showing up on the date he promised. One recent client said they'd spent a long time looking for a mason who wouldn't just smear mortar over crumbling joints and call it finished; another credited Frank with diagnosing a basement leak and explaining the fix without any upselling. The seven reviews posted in the last six months are all five stars, sitting on top of a five-year run of mostly five-star reviews going back to 2021. Only one of the 52 reviews is negative -- a scheduling no-show -- against an otherwise consistent history, worth a quick question if firm appointment times matter to you. It's also worth squaring the company's timeline: its website claims over 10 years in business, while its Massachusetts corporate filing dates to October 2020 and a contractor directory lists 5 years in business -- the numbers don't quite match. Burns Masonry reads as the call for repointing, chimney, and foundation-leak work where the repair disappearing matters more than speed. Confirm current availability and ask for the itemized, sub-project estimate Frank is known for before booking.

I cannot recommend Frank and his team enough. I hired them to repoint part of the interior of my stone foundation as well as the exterior of my garage. I spent a long time searching for someone that would do this kind of work and do it well - a lot of what I found online was not high quality or they would just put mortar over the joints and stones and call it a day. I was very concerned because the mortar was crumbling quickly and from the moment Frank saw the job when he came to quote it, he put me at ease. From start to finish Frank and his team did an amazing job. The quote came in quite reasonable, and when we identified that the walls of my garage that are only accessible from my neighbors' property were worse than what I hired Frank to repair, he worked to keep the overall price of the job reasonable in spite of the expanded scope. He documented everything in written scope documents, he communicated via different channels (including text and email) and was always prompt with his response, and he even supplied a written warranty at the end of the job. I've hired a lot of great contractors in the past and Frank is now at the top of the list. I'll absolutely hire him again for any future masonry work I have. I've included an example before and after of some of the worst section of the foundation.

Frank and his team were wonderful to work with. Communication from initial site visit to scheduling was great. He and his team were prompt, worked quickly and kept everything clean the entire way. The quality of work is great, we would certainly hire them again.

If I could, I would give 6 out of 5 stars. Frank made the whole process painless and stress free. In order to come up with an estimate, he stopped by to understand what I wanted done and to explain the various steps needed to repair and repoint the exterior brick wall. He promptly provided me with an estimate that was broken down into sub-projects so I could decide what was in budget for me. His crew and he showed up on the agreed upon date and time, were quite professional while working, cleaned up after working, and finished the work within the time frame initially provided. Frank was also kind enough to spend some extra time to walk around the house and explain the work done & answer my questions about future maintenance. The final cost didn't exceed the estimate he provided, and the price was quite competitive and fair for work done. Highly recommended.

I recently hired Burns Masonry to repoint my brick facade, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and clearly took pride in their work. The quality of the repointing was excellent, and the brickwork looks fantastic. Francis, the owner, was especially great to work with — responsive, honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was done right. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It’s not always easy to find contractors who combine great craftsmanship with excellent customer service, but this company absolutely delivered on both. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality masonry work.

I had a fantastic experience with Burns Masonry . They did an incredible job repointing our foundation. The team was prompt, professional, and very respectful of our property. The mortar match is perfect, you can't even tell it was repaired. They cleaned up every bit of debris before leaving, which I really appreciated. Their pricing was competitive with other quotes we received, and the final work was outstanding. Highly recommend them to anyone in need of quality masonry work!"
