HomeStar Masonry and Construction

HomeStar Masonry and Construction is a Boston-area contractor that's been fixing brick steps, chimneys, and roofs for homeowners across multiple review platforms. The company describes itself as locally owned and operating for more than three decades, working in masonry, roofing, waterproofing, foundations, basements, and paving. The volume of specific, named praise is what stands out: Google shows a 4.7-star rating from 14 ratings, and both HomeAdvisor and Angi put it at a perfect 5.0 from 13 ratings each. Reviewers describe a custom stone fireplace built from scratch, a historic stucco restoration, and foundation issues resolved quickly — several name owner Mike (or Michael) directly and describe him as easy to work with. On the roofing side, one reviewer had storm-damaged shingles matched and a leaking chimney fixed in the same visit; another had a full roof and new chimney installed and called it one of the best experiences they've had with a contractor. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and the same license number shows up on HomeAdvisor and Angi with an expiration date in November 2026. One reviewer, writing in early 2025, gave the company just 1 star with a brief "not good enough" and no further explanation — an outlier against an otherwise strongly positive record. HomeStar looks like a solid call for masonry work — steps, patios, chimneys, foundations — and for roof repairs that come up alongside it; worth confirming current pricing and timeline directly given how many different kinds of jobs show up in its reviews.
