Jay's Masonry and Waterproofing

Jay's Masonry and Waterproofing works out of 301 Edgewater Pl in Wakefield, doing masonry and basement waterproofing for area homeowners. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, and it turns up in local mason directories alongside several other Wakefield-area outfits. Its Google page splits down the middle: 2.5 stars from eight ratings, all dating back to 2022, with nothing more recent to go on. The reviews swing hard both ways — some praise the work as prompt and fairly priced, others are blunt one-line pans, and a couple accuse the positive reviews of being paid for. That kind of split, with accusations of fake reviews mixed into a small sample, is worth reading as a caution rather than a verdict. Before booking, it's worth asking for references from more recent jobs — nothing here postdates 2022, so a four-year-old snapshot doesn't say much about who shows up to do the work today. Confirm the license covers whoever actually arrives, and ask to see work from the last year or two rather than leaning on the older reviews alone.
