J. Miller Construction

In October 2025 a homeowner wrote out what Miller did to their chimney line by line: the old crown replaced, the bad bricks cut out and rebuilt, new flue liners set in refractory cement, the flashing redone — and the price quoted for all of it called reasonable. J. Miller Construction works out of West Roxbury, and its Google reviewers mostly know it as Miller Masonry. Alex owns it; a foreman named Mike turns up in the reviews too. The work customers describe is brick and block — chimneys, foundations, steps — and the waterproofing that goes with it. Two of those accounts are foundations. In September 2025 a Brookline homeowner had the foundation of their 1800s house waterproofed and described Alex as knowledgeable and the job as smooth from start to finish. The same month, a customer who first hired the company back in 2011 came back for basement waterproofing plus foundation and step repairs, and noted the crew arrived on time and were courteous. Speed comes up almost as often as the work itself. One September 2025 customer went from first call to finished job in under nine days; another in January 2025 had everything done in under two. A December 2025 reviewer said the crew explained things clearly, answered a lot of questions, and cleaned everything up afterward. The written history is all Google and all recent — eight reviews, every one five stars, running from January 2025 into April 2026 — which is a short trail for a company one customer says they hired back in 2011. For a chimney rebuild or basement waterproofing around West Roxbury and Brookline, this is a reasonable call to make.
