C.D. Masonry and Construction

C.D. Masonry and Construction is a family-owned masonry business in Plainville, Massachusetts, run by owner Chris Darling, doing walkways, brick steps, retaining walls, basement repointing, and patios, with about 28 years of experience behind it. A June 2026 review said the company built a beautiful walkway and has since kept the property plowed and well maintained through the winter. Older reviews describe the same care on masonry-specific work: a 2022 review described a walkway installed at a reasonable cost by a professional, hardworking crew, a 2020 review described the company repointing basement walls and leaving the site cleaner than they found it, and a 2015 review described repairs to front brick steps, a threshold, a wall, and a landing, calling the crew careful not to disturb the surrounding area. There's one real blemish worth knowing about: a February 2016 review described about $400 in yard damage from a $40 snow-plowing job. The company's own response on Angi and HomeAdvisor points to last-minute, overnight storm conditions and no marked stakes on the property. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor license for the business shown as active (#162259, issued in 2026), along with a separate license number shown as cancelled (#184055). Angi and HomeAdvisor each show a 4.7-star rating from 47 reviews spanning 2011 to 2026. For masonry work — steps, walkways, repointing, or a patio — the record here is deep and mostly strong, with one dated plowing complaint the company has a documented side of.
