Cornerstone Restoration, Inc.

Cornerstone Restoration is a family-owned masonry restoration and waterproofing company based in Barrington, Rhode Island, founded in 2000 by Bradford M. Doyle, who had spent more than 30 years in masonry and brick restoration — including a 1994 bricklayers' apprenticeship — before starting the business with his wife, Lynn Doyle. The company works across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, doing masonry restoration, waterproofing, brick laying, chimney repair and masonry cleaning for residential and commercial clients. Its two written Google reviews, from 2021 and 2022, both single out chimney and masonry work specifically: a 2021 review describes a chimney restoration done on a competitive quote with a clear timeline, calling the crew's explanation of the work clear and the result fully satisfying, while a 2022 review credits 'Brad and the team' with professional, on-time, on-budget work across two separate properties. Google shows a 4.3-star average from 6 ratings overall, and the company carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business, and its BBB page shows no complaints or government actions. The company also lists several masonry-specific certifications — a Certified Jahn Repair Mortar Installer, a Certified Silica Remediation Trainer, and a Rhode Island Lead Renovator Remodeler — along with a Rhode Island contractor's registration, a Rhode Island lead hazard control firm license, and a Massachusetts construction supervisor license, none of which have been checked against a state registry here. For masonry restoration, chimney repair or waterproofing work in the Rhode Island/Southeastern Massachusetts area, Cornerstone has a consistent, specific run of praise from the reviews on file and a two-decade specialty focus — worth confirming current licensing directly given how many separate credentials it lists.
