## The honest read

Ground Force Masonry and Construction, based in Boston, Massachusetts, offers masonry and waterproofing services, including patios, walkways, steps and wall repair.

The written record is sharply split. On the positive side, a 2024 review described a stone patio installation as precise and said the crew was accommodating to design preferences, and two 2023 reviews described finished projects as high quality, with one crew arriving on time and finishing early.

On the negative side, several reviews from 2023 and 2024 describe the company raising its price above the original quote after work had begun, and one 2024 review warned that the company takes advance payment and leaves jobs incomplete or delayed. A 2023 review described a wall the company installed cracking and peeling after completion, with repeated unanswered requests for a repair and a stated intent to pursue legal action.

Given how far apart these accounts are, anyone hiring for masonry or waterproofing work should get a signed, detailed contract with a fixed price before work begins, and confirm any warranty terms in writing.

**Strengths:**
- Precise patio work — a 2024 review praised a stone patio's precision and design accommodation
- On-time delivery — 2023 reviews said crews arrived on time and finished early

**Concerns:**
- Price increases — multiple reviews describe costs rising after the quoted price
- Unresolved wall defects — a 2023 review described cracking and peeling left unfixed

**Where sources disagree:**
- The review record is sharply split: positive accounts describe precise, on-time work, while negative accounts from the same period describe price increases, incomplete jobs, and an unresolved cracked wall.
