Cuccio Masonry Co., Inc.

Cuccio Masonry has been laying brick and stone in Burlington since 1986, when Bob Cuccio started the company; it's still family run today, working chimneys, fireplaces, patios, and retaining walls, and it describes itself as serving Eastern Massachusetts from its Burlington base. Fifteen written reviews stretch from 2015 to this June, and the same thread runs through nearly all of them: the crew matches new work to what's already there. A 2024 review described a foundation project where the damage underneath turned out worse than expected, yet the cost change was handled fairly; a 2022 retaining-wall review credits foreman Mark with hand-selecting stone so the seam between old and new wall disappeared. Google shows a 4.7-star average from 12 ratings, and HomeAdvisor, Angi, and Houzz reviews all sit at or near 5.0. Reviewers going back to a 2016 Angi review and a 2020 HomeAdvisor one mention the same habit: the crew sweeps the site clean every evening, not just at the end of the job. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and it has carried a BBB A+ rating since being accredited in 2006. Before calling, it's worth knowing about the company's labor record. The Massachusetts Attorney General's office cited Cuccio Masonry in 2025 for more than $36,570 tied to sick-time and overtime violations, and a federal violation-tracking database separately lists a $26,574 penalty for a Fair Labor Standards Act overtime case the same year — it isn't clear from what's published whether these describe one dispute or two. An OSHA inspection at the company's Billerica facility also resulted in four citations and $13,150 in proposed penalties. None of that speaks to the quality of the finished masonry, which customers have praised consistently for a decade, but it's a fair question to raise about how the crew on your job is paid and scheduled. For a matched-brick chimney rebuild, a stone patio, or a retaining wall that needs to blend into an older yard, the craftsmanship record here is long and consistent. Given the wage and safety citations, it's worth asking directly about crew pay practices and site safety before signing a contract.
