iFix Masonry & Home Improvements is a Canton-based masonry and home-improvement contractor working across Greater Boston — Brookline, Cambridge, Waltham, Newton, Canton, Dedham, and West Roxbury among the towns it names — doing everything from granite stair replacements to basement waterproofing to chimney rebuilds. The volume of specific, varied work described in reviews is real: the owner, Patrick, comes up repeatedly for masonry jobs, including several front-stair and wall repairs where earlier patch jobs by other contractors had already failed, a full chimney rebuild paired with new granite stairs, and one job replacing a crumbling set of concrete front stairs with a mason called in after 'kiss and patch' fixes kept deteriorating. Crew lead Jerry is named just as often for patio, walkway, and driveway work, with one customer describing four separate projects with the company over time. Basement waterproofing shows up again and again too — several reviews describe long-standing water infiltration finally stopped, in one case with a French drain added alongside stucco and sealant work on a leaking bulkhead. The most important thing to know: Massachusetts registry records show iFix's home improvement contractor license has been revoked. That's a serious mark against a masonry and home-improvement business and worth asking about directly before hiring. Separately, five reviews posted within a five-day window in March 2025 stand out — polished, marketing-style language ('outstanding work,' 'exceeded our expectations') repeated across different job types, in a noticeably different voice from the more typo-ridden, individually written reviews everywhere else. For masonry, waterproofing, and chimney work in the Canton and Greater Boston area, the written praise for actual completed jobs is deep and specific — but the revoked license is the kind of thing that should be resolved, in writing, before any contract is signed.

Patrick and his team did a tremendous job on our project. We had a patio and walkway installed. Throughout the project, the team showed up every day working with us to ensure we were happy as the project progressed. We even decided to change the style and materials and the team was able to accommodate us without missing a beat. Kudos to Patrick and his team. We highly recommend selecting IFIX Masonry for any masonry work needed.
Just had I fix Masonary and home improvements install a new patio with a beautiful 3way paver. We were looking to have this done for years. The guys were so easy to work with and done an absolute fantastic job on everything I would gladly recommend them to all my friends and neighbors and family. If I could give them 10 stars, I would thank you so much guys and Patrick really organized the job so quickly and done to our satisfaction. Thank you again.
We contacted IFixMasonry to have our crumbling concrete front stairs repaired. After a couple of kiss and patch jobs we had done by other small contractors, the stairs just continued to deteriorate, and we needed some serious masonry work done on them. Patrick came out in a timely manner, assessed our stairway and retaining walls, and gave us a quote to repair all the crumbled concrete, install granite tops, and repair and finish all the retaining wall cracks, all for a reasonable price. He was very personable, and obviously knew what he was doing. He and his crew were able to come out in a very reasonable time frame, and inside of a week the work was done. Our house's curb appeal just went up considerably, easily covering what we paid. I definitely recommend IFixMasonry if you need any kind of concrete work done on your house.
I have hired Abmner for my masonry needs in the last 3 years. He’s an absolute perfectionist with his work projects. He’s always timely, professional and fair in his estimates. I have referred him to provide services to my friends and family in the Boston area and everyone has given me an excellent feedback. If you need a new driveway, a new patio, repair the front stairs and walkway, replaced my retention wall. You can trust him to do his best to your satisfaction.
We had ifixMasonary and home improvements out a couple of days ago they’ve done my chimney stuck that was falling apart and a beautiful new stairs in granite at the front of my house I would recommend Patrick and his team to all my family and friends they are very professional if I could give them 10 stars I would best of luck in the future guys
