Ask around Dedham for hardscape work and Complete Paving & Masonry's name keeps surfacing attached to one word: Jerry. He's the one giving estimates, the one crews report to, and the one reviewers name by first name project after project. The company works patios, driveways, walkways, retaining walls, front steps, foundations, and chimney masonry, and its own site says it has served the Dedham area since 1993 — though its About page separately lists 1998 as the year established, so the exact tenure is the company's own claim to sort out, not a settled fact.
The volume backs the reputation up: 87 ratings on Google add up to a perfect 5 stars, and 53 written reviews sit on file from 2021 through 2026 across seven platforms, three of them in just the last six months. The reviews aren't vague — a 140-square-foot patio finished in a day and a half, with photos and a written estimate delivered within hours; a crumbling driveway rebuilt alongside a new retaining wall and a sealed foundation in one visit; a chimney job that involved slope repair, repointing, and rebuilding the top three feet with a waterproofing spray, done from a scissor lift with harnesses and left clean. One customer describes Jerry's crew rebuilding their front steps into herringbone pavers years earlier, then returning without an argument when a piece of facing came loose this past winter.
One thing worth confirming before signing anything: the state registry lists the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 210625, as expired, even though the company's own site still prints that same number as current. That matters here — chimney, foundation, and general masonry work aren't the landscaping-only jobs Massachusetts exempts from registration, so it's worth asking Jerry directly for proof the registration has been renewed.
For patio, driveway, walkway, and front-step work in the Dedham area, this is a crew with a long, consistent paper trail — and enough repeat customers, calling Jerry back for a second and third project, to back it up. Confirm the registration is current, then it looks like a solid call.
