In a December 2024 review, a homeowner described Raul's crew underpinning their basement to build a garage under the house — showing up early every single day and finishing the whole thing in under a month. JRG Masonry & Construction works out of Framingham, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Its directory profiles put it at eleven to twelve years in business, with free estimates and Spanish-language service. The work behind the reviews is brick, block, stone and concrete. A May 2025 customer had the front steps replaced and the brick walkway and patio repaired, and called the price very reasonable. Writing in May 2024 about work done that April, another had a concrete driveway replaced along with the stone landing at the rear entrance, and said it was performed according to the contract and on schedule. A 2022 review covers the apron at the writer's mother's house, done over that summer. Chimneys and fireplaces sit in the older half of the history: a chimney rebuilt from the roof with a cap installed, and a fireplace repaired, both in 2021 reviews, and a chimney damper replaced in a 2022 one. What customers keep noticing is the clock. "Showed up early" turns up in reviews from 2022 and 2024, a 2021 customer wrote that Raul arrived on time and returned calls immediately, and a January 2025 customer said the project landed on time and on budget. One November 2021 review tracks a retaining wall almost hour by hour: demolition started Thursday afternoon, most of the first section was in place by Friday afternoon, Saturday was rained out, Sunday off, and it was finished by late Monday afternoon. One page reads differently from the rest — Thumbtack, at 4.6 from nine ratings, against 5.0 on Google and 4.9 on both Angi and HomeAdvisor. For stonework and concrete with a date attached — steps, a patio, a retaining wall, a driveway — this is a crew whose customers talk about schedules being kept. Have the contract spell out the schedule and the finish, the way the driveway customer's did, and if you are calling about a chimney, ask how that work is handled now: those accounts date from 2021 and 2022.
Raul and the JRG team did a wonderful job replacing our front steps and repairing our brick walkway and patio. They were prompt, polite, professional and very reasonably priced. I would recommend them for any of your stone and masonry work.
Raúl and his team have been absolutely outstanding to work with. From the initial call for a quote to the completion of the project, JRG has consistently demonstrated promptness, professionalism, and reliability. They delivered on time and, just as importantly, on budget. As a long-established development and construction company with decades of experience, we know how rare it is to find contractors like JRG. Raúl and his crew are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and efficient. We cannot recommend Raúl and the team at JRG Masonry & Construction highly enough!
Raul and the team at JRG Masonry did an excellent job underpinning our basement to create a garage under the house. They showed up early every single day and had the whole thing finished in under a month. Everyone was super professional and pleasant to work with. They kept the construction site clean and organized. And the best part is, we now have a spacious garage with 9-foot ceilings! Highly recommend this company.
Raul and JRG replaced a concrete driveway at our home in April 2024. They also replaced our rear entrance back door stone landing. The work was performed according to the contract on schedule. We would be happy to have them do more work for us.
JRG did an incredible job with my mother’s house apron over summer 2022- great communication. Showed up early, followed through with everything we discussed and went above and beyond. Highly recommended!
