Healy Masonry & Restoration Inc.

Healy Masonry & Restoration is a Woburn, Massachusetts masonry and restoration outfit built around one name — Francis Healy — whose customers keep circling back to specifics: fieldstone foundations, century-old brick, brownstone repointing. BBB lists it as family-owned, started February 2021, an S-corp with two employees managed by Healy, working repointing, stonework, chimney, foundation and historic restoration plus general renovations for homeowners, property managers and institutional clients from Woburn out to Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Salem, Winchester, Weymouth, Newton and Charlestown. Ten Google reviews, all five stars, run from 2021 through May 2026, with three landing in just the past six months — and they describe real, specific jobs rather than bare praise. A recent review has Francis repointing a fieldstone foundation and calling the result "beautiful"; another describes a four-story, 1900-built brick condo building repointed after the client had already been "disappointed with several other masons." Older accounts show the same range: in a 2022 review, a homeowner had Francis build a retaining wall and steps; a 2021 review describes stucco repairs to two dormers and a chimney finished before winter, and another from that year recounts a repointing job that turned into a full two-side restoration once water intrusion turned up mid-project. The business isn't BBB accredited, though it carries an A+ letter grade there, and it separately lists an MCPPO (Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official) certification through the state Inspector General's office — unusual for a shop this size and worth asking about if the job is a municipal or institutional one. There's no documented complaint or downside in the review record. A safe call for repointing, stonework, chimney work or older-home restoration — get a written estimate and lock in a timeline given the demand this small crew is seeing.
