An August 2026 homeowner describes Cornerstone Masonry Services cutting a concrete bulkhead wall so a regular exterior door could sit at ground level. With little space on either side, the cuts needed to be accurate; the customer says the result made the basement accessible from the backyard. Another August customer, a repeat client with a large brick house, praises the crew’s repairs, clean finish, and reasonable prices. Cornerstone is owned and operated by Christopher Lammey, according to its website, which describes residential and commercial masonry, concrete, repairs, and chimney work. Lammey says he has more than three decades in the field and traces the business’s foundation to a company he and a fellow Southeastern/K&W alumnus started in 1990. BBB lists Cornerstone in South Easton with an A+ grade. Christopher M. Lammey’s Massachusetts construction supervisor license is active on the state registry. Google reports five stars from 20 ratings. Older customers describe chimney repairs and fireplace changes in detail. In an October 2024 review, a homeowner with a partially collapsed chimney says Chris surveyed the damage, explained the repair, and supplied a detailed printed estimate before supervising the work. The customer also describes cleanup and a written summary with before-and-after photographs. A March 2024 reviewer says the team changed a brick fireplace to gray stone at a good price. In January 2023, another customer describes a brick-to-stone fireplace update and credits Chris with helping choose the design. Steps, walks, and outdoor masonry also feature in the company’s work. A June 2022 customer describes new steps and railings, replacement side steps, and a retaining wall along the driveway. They appreciated Chris’s guidance on design and materials, and a contract that spelled out the work and material costs. In a December 2021 review, a customer praises the installed fire pit and patio. Another November 2021 customer says detailed estimates made the procedure, materials, and prices clear, and that Chris supplied a notebook of photographs, drawings, invoices, and receipts when the work was finished.
Grear experience. Very reliable, good work.
Chris, Shawn and crew were amazing. they were professional, completed the job in a timely manner and were quiet. We have received so many compliments on the work this team did. i highly recommend them
Chris and his crew are our go-to masonry service. We live in a large brick home with lots of masonry (structure and trim) and have needed his services and experienced advice a few times now. They have always come through with sound repairs with a clean finish, and at reasonable prices. We would gladly recommend Chris and company for all your masonry needs.
We had a bulkhead at our house that was almost 3 feet out of the ground as seen in the pictures, actually had to use a step ladder just to get in. Chris and his crew came and cut the concrete wall so that we could put a regular exterior door that was at ground level. There wasn't much room on either side of the door to play around so all cuts needed to be accurate. Everything worked out perfectly and now the basement is accessible from the back yard. Would highly recommend!
Excellent craftsmanship and personable service! Needed to address a partially collapsed chimney. Chris soon responded after I initially placed a call, came to survey the damage, explained the repair process, provided a fair and detailed printed estimate, and was able to begin work soon after. The crew was skilled, efficient, and most pleasant with Chris supervising the project. Upon timely completion, the crew cleaned up without leaving a trace, and I was provided a detailed summary of work done with before-and-after photos. The chimney looks great! The entire process was transparent, and Chris was a pleasure to work with.
