Citation Property Services

A June 2025 customer called Citation out to look at a chimney and was told to wait: Alex said there was time left before a repair was needed, while other companies were quoting nearly $6-9k. The North Reading company sits at 5.0 across 77 Google ratings, and the Better Business Bureau, which lists it under mason contractors, grades it A+. Masonry and concrete are the spine of the work. In October 2025 a homeowner had Alex's crew excavate, prep and pour an 18 x 24 cement slab in the rear yard, on a timeline he committed to from the start. A September 2025 customer had a basement repointed quickly at a fair price. Front steps and a walkway in November 2025; a front walk replaced in May 2025, the proposal accurate and detailed and the work on time; front stairs and a back patio in November 2024. A March 2026 reviewer whose family owns a concrete company back home praised the driveway his team did, noting most houses out there have asphalt. The same crew also keeps yards. A November 2024 customer, in their second season using them, wrote that Alex is detail oriented about leaf removal; another that month described a fall cleanup that left the yard leaf and debris free. In August 2024, overgrown weeds came out and a mulch bed and bushes went in. In April 2026 a customer had privacy trees planted around a patio, and a March 2026 reviewer credited the hardscaping. Two things beyond the work itself come up repeatedly: how fast Alex answers, and that he picks up jobs other people walked away from. An August 2025 customer was a week from a deadline when the previous contractor left them stranded, and Citation's guys came early and stayed late to finish. A September 2025 customer had a botched job cleaned up. In April 2025 someone called during the busy season and got fitted in. The one review below five stars, from July 2025, was not about masonry. That customer wrote that Alex messaged him on Facebook after a post looking for carpentry help, came out with a good quote, and said his guys can do everything. Stone, concrete and yard work are what this company gets hired for over and over, so pin the scope down in writing for anything outside that. For a slab, a walkway, repointing or a season of yard maintenance around North Reading, this is a straightforward call: ask for the detailed written proposal reviewers keep crediting, and settle the timeline before the crew mobilizes.
