D L Foote & Sons Inc

D L Foote & Sons is a Weymouth masonry outfit that's been doing steps, patios, and stone work under owner Dave Foote for about 26 years — and the most recent reviews tell two very different stories about the same kind of job. A 2026 review says front steps installed here had completely fallen apart within a little over two years: "It looks like we never had them done... very disappointed." That's the one clear red flag in the written history. It sits next to a 2025 review describing a different set of new granite front steps as "incredible" — professional craftsmanship, stone veneer risers, neighbor compliments, and praise for Dave as honest and fairly priced. A 2024 review covers a separate patio expansion into an awkward tight corner, finished a few days ahead of schedule. Between those, a run of reviews from 2014 through 2016 describes steps, patios, and general masonry work done reliably, with several customers noting Dave was responsive, showed up when promised, and in a few cases went beyond the agreed scope without being asked. One older account from 2016 is more mixed: the company's own public response describes a customer who wanted an employee let go mid-job; the work was completed and paid for, but the customer came away unhappy. The Better Business Bureau's profile, which gives the company an A+ letter grade, also lists one alert that isn't otherwise detailed on the page. Angi shows a strong 4.9 out of 5 across 30 reviews, with the company's own summary putting roughly 90% of that history at five stars. Anyone hiring for steps or a patio here should ask directly about warranty coverage and how settling or cracking would be handled — the one detailed complaint on file is specifically about step durability, which is worth weighing against the otherwise long, mostly positive history.
