JEO Masonry & Tile Inc

JEO Masonry & Tile has been rebuilding stairs, walkways, and patios around Malden and Boston's North Shore since founder Joao (John), who says he trained as a mason in Italy, started the company; JEO puts its own tenure at 32 years, while its Better Business Bureau profile separately lists 19 years in business. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active under the company's name, and Angi and HomeAdvisor both list that same license running through March 2027. The reviews back it up. Angi and HomeAdvisor each show a 5.0 average across 25 reviews — the same review set mirrored on both sites — Google adds a 4.7 from 6 ratings, and the company carries an A+ BBB grade. The written history runs back to 2010 and keeps circling the same points: in a 2022 review, a homeowner says they collected six competing quotes before hiring JEO for a front-stairs repair and were pleased with both the workmanship and how they were treated as a client; that same year, another customer describes John untangling a driveway and backyard a previous contractor had wrecked, tying a new retaining wall into the old one and checking in daily. Older accounts describe a 2020 concrete platform poured for a swim spa on schedule and on budget, a 2016 estimate that came in at the low end and finished ahead of time, and a 2010 bluestone patio a customer says was hand-matched to the house's brick tones. There isn't much to flag. No complaints are listed on its BBB profile, and every quoted review is positive to strongly positive — even the lowest mark, a 4.5-star review from 2018, still calls the work good and says the homeowner would hire the company again. What is worth noting: most of that history predates the last few years, with only three of the eleven reviews on file dated 2020 or later. For masonry and tile work around Malden and the North Shore — stairs, patios, retaining walls, foundation and chimney repair — the paper trail is long and consistently positive; given how much of it is older, confirming current crew and lead times directly is a reasonable step before booking.
