Knights Masonry & Foundation Waterproofing

Knights Masonry & Foundation Waterproofing works out of Framingham, and the jobs that keep coming up in its reviews are chimneys and foundations — rebuilding a crumbling stack, waterproofing a leaking basement, laying new front steps. The company says it's been family-run since 1985, serving Framingham, Boston, Concord, Marlborough, and the rest of Middlesex County. Across more than 40 recent Google reviews, people get specific about the brickwork rather than just praising it: one customer's chimney came back with two new terracotta liners after the stack was ground down and rebuilt; another's front steps were repaired after a previous contractor called the cracking and settling too far gone to fix. A basement waterproofing customer wrote that months later there wasn't a single leak. Twenty reviews landed in the last six months alone, none negative, and several reviewers name "Pat" as the person who walked them through the scope, showed up when scheduled, and explained the fix before starting. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, which covers the range its reviews and its own site describe — masonry, chimney repair, foundation and basement waterproofing, and, per the company's site, roofing and siding. A couple of reviewers mention pricing that came in lower than other estimates they'd collected, which is about as close to a caution as this history offers; there's nothing here about missed schedules, unfinished punch lists, or disputes over scope. Worth asking upfront which crew and lead will be on the job, since a lot of the specific praise centers on named individuals rather than the operation as a whole, and a written scope matters more on a masonry job than most, since the finish depends on the exact repair needed rather than a standard install. For chimney rebuilding, foundation or basement waterproofing, or masonry hardscaping like steps and walkways, this is a licensed, actively reviewed choice in the Framingham area — its written reviews run from 2024 to now, and the company says the business itself goes back to 1985.
