Jwb Masonry Construction Inc.

JWB Masonry Construction is a family-owned masonry restoration and new-construction contractor based in Rumford, Rhode Island, run by owner James Berry since 1988. The company works across Massachusetts and Rhode Island doing brick, stone and stucco restoration and new construction — tuckpointing, wall repair, chimney work, and rebuilding brick or stone steps. The written history here, spanning 2013 through 2020 across Angi, HomeAdvisor and Houzz, repeatedly names Berry himself and consistently describes careful, skilled brickwork: a 2014 review calls the brick steps 'amazing' and Berry 'more like an artist,' a 2015 review describes him matching existing brick and resetting stone steps after mortar had gone missing and bricks were damaged, and a 2017 review describes a fairly priced, timely roof-related masonry job. A 2013 review from a repeat customer calls him 'concerned with the quality of his work and materials' and 'very passionate.' The one real complaint on file, from a 2020 review, is about slow phone communication — though the reviewer still called the work good, and the company responded to that review directly. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#118186), verified by BuildZoom as of July 2026, and its self-reported Rhode Island registration number matches the license number Houzz lists for the business. It also carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business, and its BBB page shows no complaints or government actions. There isn't a written review dated more recent than 2020, so current service quality can't be confirmed from reviews alone — though the license verification and BBB status appear current as of this year. For brick, stone or stucco restoration and repair work in the Rhode Island/Southeastern Massachusetts area, JWB has a long, specific history of skilled, well-regarded craftsmanship under one dedicated owner — worth asking directly about current response times given the one complaint on file.
