Knights Masonry & Foundation Waterproofing

Knights Masonry & Foundation Waterproofing, in Framingham, works across masonry, chimney rebuilds, and basement waterproofing. The most detailed accounts on file trace back to a team member named Pat, and one review from someone who wasn't even a customer describes getting free phone advice from a staffer named Mike. In a 2024 review, a caller who wasn't a client got same-day help picking the right tool to cut porcelain paver tile, done free in about ten minutes, and called it the most helpful encounter they'd had with anyone in the trade. Another 2024 review described steps so dilapidated from a previous contractor's work that other companies called the repair impossible; Pat's crew took it on and got the result close to new. A 2025 review described a whole-house remodel where the team ground down and rebuilt a chimney stack, replaced the flue with new terracotta liners, and patched a hole left by an old oil heater. A real estate agent, in a 2025 review, said Pat came out same-day to quote a repair after a home inspection turned up an issue, helping a client hit a deadline. A separate 2025 review described salvaging severely damaged brick on a staircase and chimney that the homeowner hadn't expected to be repairable. One thing worth knowing: the Google page shows 119 ratings, and the reviews arrive in tight clusters — a dozen or more within the same week, more than once — using strikingly similar phrasing about solid brickwork and attention to detail. One review in the file doesn't read like a customer's own account at all: it describes "the image" showing the crew at work and reports the customer as "highly satisfied" in the third person, more like an automated caption than something a homeowner wrote. That mix makes the review count harder to take at face value, even though not one of the reviews on file describes an actual problem with the work. For masonry, chimney, or waterproofing work in the Framingham area, weigh the handful of detailed, specific accounts above more than the star count, and ask to see recent project photos directly.
