Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A December 2025 foundation-work complaint is a serious part of Everlast Masonry's customer history. The Google reviewer said a repair intended to stop water intrusion made leaks worse and had to be redone by another contractor. They described unsuccessful attempts to resolve the matter through calls, messages, a BBB complaint and mediation before filing in court. According to that reviewer, the NH Circuit Court in Keene entered judgment in their favor on November 10, 2025, in case 449-2025-SC-00058, finding the work was not of workmanlike quality and awarding the full amount paid. They said the judgment remained unpaid when they wrote in December 2025. The same customer reported that Keene officials told them a permit was required for the job and none was on file. These are the customer's accounts of the work, permitting and court outcome. Other customers describe chimney and step work positively. A May 2026 reviewer praised rebuilding a chimney at a 200-year-old house, including attention to its appearance and construction. Another May customer said the chimney job took about a month from first contact to completion and praised progress photos. A June 2026 front-step customer said the stairs were completed exactly as wanted, with responsive communication and fair pricing. Older accounts include an October 2025 chimney-rebuild customer who said Jered passed along savings when the job came in under budget. In May 2025, a homeowner praised restoration of mortar joints on a 175-year-old brick house and replacement of exterior steps with concrete and granite. A November 2023 customer described a chimney repair and cap at a lower price than another provider's quote, with before-and-after photos. The company says it offers brick and stone masonry across Cheshire and Belknap counties, including Keene and Laconia. Its directory description says it has laid brick, block and stone since 2005.
