CGM Masonry

CGM Masonry is a South Dennis stone and masonry outfit that BBB lists as a sole proprietorship — also doing business as Gonsalves Masonry & Construction — established in 1985, and it carries an A+ BBB letter grade. But its two reviews on file point in sharply different directions. In a 2023 Google review, a customer who'd used CGM multiple times described steps, a bluestone walkway and patio, cobblestone work, and chimney repairs, calling it high-quality work with close attention to detail. A BBB review tells a different story: it describes a contractor who talks a good game but cuts corners, and says that once payment is made, communication stops. Google's own rating — 3.8 stars from just 4 ratings — reflects that same split rather than a clean consensus either way. Before booking, it's worth asking directly about communication and follow-through after a deposit is paid, and getting a clear scope and timeline in writing given how differently these two accounts read. With work spanning steps, patios, walkways, and chimney repairs, this looks like a shop capable of a range of stonework — the open question is which of the two accounts is closer to what to expect.
