Flexway Masonry and Chimney is a Burlington, Massachusetts masonry outfit that works across chimneys, foundations and hardscape. Customers name John as the person who shows up and runs the jobs. The company says it has about fifteen years behind it, gives free estimates, offers emergency service and puts a ten-year warranty on new builds, and it lists a service area that runs from Boston and the northwest suburbs up into southern New Hampshire. The strongest evidence is recent and detailed. A homeowner writing in July 2026 described a full chimney removal — taken down from the roof through the house into the basement — with the roof closed back in, damaged wood replaced and new underlayment and roofing paper installed. Another July 2026 customer described water coming through an outside foundation wall and a job that combined a new drainage system, repointing of the masonry and full basement waterproofing, with updates throughout. The chimney and foundation work is the through-line of the older record too: reviewers between 2023 and 2025 describe a rebuilt leaking chimney with loose bricks at what they called a reasonable price, a new chimney cap and crown repair, repointing of crumbling fieldstone foundation mortar, and regrading and waterproofing to stop water pooling near a foundation. A February 2024 customer wrote that after an emergency leak he called and someone was there within the hour, and 2024 reviewers also credit stone walkways, a patio and front step repairs. One thing to weigh honestly: eleven of the reviews on file, dated between February and April 2025, arrive in same-day clusters and are written in a near-identical shape — a stated problem followed by a stated fix, with none of the naming, pricing or scheduling detail that fills the rest of the record. They may be genuine, but they read differently from the reviews around them, and a reader should discount them rather than count them as eleven independent voices. A separate 2023 five-star review is from a fellow mason who has subcontracted the company, not from a homeowner who hired it for their own house. They are a reasonable call for a chimney rebuild, a wet fieldstone basement or a drainage problem in the Burlington area. Get the ten-year warranty and what it covers in writing, ask for two recent addresses of comparable work, and confirm the company's registration with the state before signing.
I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding work Flexway Masonry completed on my home. They removed my entire chimney from the roof all the way down through the house into the basement, and the whole project was handled professionally from start to finish. Once the chimney was removed, they completely closed in the roof and carried out all the necessary repairs, including replacing the damaged wood, installing new underlayment and roofing paper, and leaving everything completely weatherproof. Their workmanship was first-class, and you would never know such a major project had ever taken place. Inside my home, they repaired all the drywall, expertly plastered the walls and ceilings, and finished everything with a fresh coat of paint. The finish is absolutely flawless—you would never believe there had ever been a chimney running through the house. Every room was left looking perfect. The crew was hardworking, respectful, punctual, and kept everything clean throughout the job. Their attention to detail and quality of workmanship exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend Flexway Masonry to anyone looking for honest, skilled professionals. If you’re looking for a company that takes pride in its work and delivers exceptional results, these are the people to call. Thank you again for an amazing job
I recently hired Flexway Masonry to completely refinish my entire basement after I was having water coming through the outside foundation wall. Their team installed a brand-new drainage system, professionally repointed and restored the masonry where needed, and fully waterproofed the entire basement from start to finish. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and they kept me informed throughout the whole project. My basement is now completely dry, watertight, and looks fantastic. It’s a huge relief knowing the water issues have been properly resolved. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Flexway Masonry to anyone looking for reliable basement waterproofing and foundation repair. Thank you for an excellent job!
Our home’s foundation had started sinking slightly, causing gaps in the floors. They used specialized techniques to level everything out and stabilize the structure for the long term.
Poor exterior drainage was causing water to pool near our foundation, leading to slow leaks. Their team regraded the soil and added waterproofing, solving the issue for good.
Our old chimney had missing mortar and signs of water damage. Their masonry repair work was outstanding, sealing all weak spots and ensuring long-lasting protection.
