JMS Masonry & Restoration

JMS Masonry & Restoration is a South Boston masonry and restoration contractor — brick and mortar repair, historic building restoration, chimney and foundation work, and waterproofing across Greater Boston. The company, self-reported, has been run since 2011 by owner John Screen, who says he trained in masonry in London before settling in Boston; his brother Kevin Screen handles site supervision and office operations. There isn't a written review on file yet — its Houzz profile carries no ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists no customer reviews or complaints, though BBB grades it A+ (the business is not BBB-accredited). The one outside account on record is a 2024 Reddit comment recommending "John of JMS Masonry" and noting he does a fair amount of work on the North Shore. The company's own website tells two different stories about how long it's been around — "Restoring the Boston Skyline Since 2011" and 15 years in business on one page, "established 20+ years" on another. For brick, chimney, foundation, or historic masonry restoration work in the Boston area, JMS is worth a call for a quote — with no third-party reviews yet on file, ask for recent job references directly.
