# DQM - Dominick Quality Masonry

**Trade:** Masonry · **Address:** 41 Hawkes St, Saugus, MA 01906, USA · **Phone:** (617) 959-5112 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.8/5** (medium confidence) — from 19 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 7 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

DQM - Dominick Quality Masonry is a Saugus mason shop run by Dominick, with Jose leading much of the stonework crew. Across 19 reviews on Google and Angi from 2023 through this year, every one lands five stars, and Angi's own profile — where DQM carries accredited/certified status — calls out the same three things repeatedly: responsiveness, communication, and workmanship.

The jobs described run the range of masonry work: a poured concrete floor, redone stone steps, a chimney build, patios, stairs, and retaining walls. In a 2023 review, one homeowner had DQM replace a beat-up driveway — the crew leveled the grade, planned for drainage, and designed stone accents and a new walkway, work the reviewer says shows Dominick takes pride in. Another 2023 review describes a steeper project: a rotten backyard fence line getting a new retaining wall and fence, with the team checking in for the homeowner's input at every decision point.

The recurring theme in the shorter reviews is speed and reliability — jobs finished in a day, crews arriving ahead of schedule, quoted prices held to. A few reviews are just a line ("great job," "good job"), which thins the detail but not the sentiment.

Worth calling for masonry work from a chimney to a full driveway and retaining-wall project — the record so far is consistently clean, with no complaints surfacing across either platform.

**Strengths:**
- Chimney and driveway work — praised for careful drainage and stone design
- Consistent five stars — 19 reviews, no complaints on Google or Angi
