Verified record
Intelligent Masonry & Construction is a Medford, MA masonry and foundation contractor working on brick and stone tuckpointing, foundation repair, and basement and crawlspace waterproofing. Angi's profile puts its history at 15 years. Three of its four Angi reviews, all from mid-2025, describe work homeowners were glad they called for: a basement waterproofing job the reviewer called honest and easy to deal with, a chimney repair where the crew explained each step and answered every question, and a masonry step that got fixed within a day after other contractors were too busy to take the call. The owner, identified as Bernard in one of those reviews, is described as thorough. The fourth review, from October 2025, is sharply different: it says a contractor made repeated advances toward the reviewer's spouse and, after being rebuffed, dropped agreed-upon scope — a porch and three interior walls — while charging the same price. Angi's own summary of that review also describes claims of fake names and defective foundation work. Angi lists a Massachusetts trade license for the company, number 216325, expiration 07/14/2027. Given the mixed accounts, ask directly about who will be on site, get the full scope in writing before work starts, and confirm the license status with the state.

The contractor kept trying to hit on my wife from day one until the day he left even after she said she was married. Then when she was thwarting his advances he changed the original contract and dropped the porch off and 3 interior walls for the same price. They only showed when we were giving them money. No permit was pulled to pour the footing and the work wasn t done correctly according to another contractor and our basement flooded when it rained. From the beginning he and his brother gave us fake names. This was very concerning because our warranty was with a fictional person and the contract I finally received on final payment was also in a fake name. The original contract was just a text message with no signature. When confronted about the fake name use they denied it but they finally admitted it when we complained about the work after they finished. Now they claim that they weren t finished and we broke the contract because we didn t want John back at our house because he s been sexually harassing my wife.
I was very pleased with this contractor. I tried 3 other contractors, and they were busy, and could not repair my step. I called on Thursday, and Ai had step reed by end of day Friday. The owner Bernard was very thorough and explained the job in detail The young man who actually repaired the step did an outstanding job, he was very meticulous. During the afternoon the owner noticed that the chimney did not look good near the top. He took a ladder went on the roof to check it, and he found pieces of stone fell off. I really appreciate that he did that, as I had no idea there was a problem. Bernard really pays attention to each detail, and makes sure that the job he does is perfect. He also put off completing another project, so he could complete mine. He also has a warranty that if something happens to the repair, he will fix it. Thank you very much Roxann
I hired Intelligent Masonry & Construction to waterproof my basement, and I?m so glad I did. From start to finish, they were honest, professional, and easy to deal with. They took the time to explain everything clearly, showed up when they said they would, and really knew their stuff. The work was done efficiently, and you can tell they take pride in doing a proper job ? no shortcuts. My basement has been totally dry since, even after some heavy rain, and that peace of mind is priceless. Highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable waterproofing or masonry work!
