Capeside Masonry

Capeside Masonry runs out of West Barnstable and gets called for the kind of chimney and brick work most contractors treat as an afterthought — a chimney that needs repointing before winter, flashing that's letting water in, a brick step gone wobbly. The company describes itself as family-owned and says it works across Cape Cod and the South Shore, alongside stone and concrete wall repair, retaining walls, patios, and waterproofing. What shows up in eleven 5-star Google reviews spanning late 2024 through August 2026 is a short list of names — Brandon, Ben, Bob — attached to specific jobs rather than generic praise. One homeowner hired the crew twice in a year for two different houses and singled out Brandon for coming to look at the project in person before quoting, something several other masons they'd contacted skipped. Another needed chimney flashing replaced and had an estimate within a day, with the crew working around the homeowner's own schedule. When one chimney needed urgent repairs, the company rearranged its schedule to get to it quickly rather than making the customer wait. Two things repeat across the reviews: the pricing is called reasonable more than once, by more than one reviewer, and the crew shows up, finishes the job, and leaves the site clean. The work described ranges from full chimney rebuilds and repointing to matching brick on a set of front steps so the repair is invisible. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, held by Capeside Masonry LLC — the same name behind the reviews and the website, so the license lines up cleanly with who's actually doing the work. Capeside Masonry reads like the right call for chimney and brick repair specifically — repointing, rebuilds, flashing, cracked or wobbly steps — more than a full exterior overhaul. Ask for the same in-person walkthrough and written estimate the reviews describe Brandon giving before the crew shows up.
