Gary Clark Masonry & Restoration LLC

When a neighbor on r/SalemMA asked in July 2024 who to call about masonry repair on brick steps, Gary Clark's name came back fast: one commenter called him "the absolute man" and offered to dig out his business card, another passed along his phone number and email with the caveat that he is usually busy enough to book out a while. In an October 2023 r/salemma thread, a commenter wrote that Gary Clark Masonry "did this in our home and did an excellent job" and recommended him to anyone who can get on his schedule. Gary Clark Masonry & Restoration works out of 117 Webb St in Salem, with Gary P Clark listed as its owner, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #190212 is active on the state registry. BuildZoom's profile lists eight permitted projects from 2017 to 2024 that sit squarely in masonry — chimney rebuilding and repointing, a front-step rebuild, retaining-wall work and two roofing jobs — spread across Salem, Boston, South Boston, Somerville, Marblehead and Beverly, one of them in the $5,000–$20,000 range. For chimney work, repointing and front steps around Salem and the North Shore, he is a sensible call. Plan ahead on timing, and before work starts ask to see photos of a chimney or step job like yours and get the scope and price in writing.
