LBJ Masonry is a Braintree, MA masonry and foundation contractor led by Liam, working on the South Shore and around Greater Boston. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (#210170) is active in the state registry under LBJ Masonry Corp, and Angi and HomeAdvisor both show a 5.0-star average across 38 ratings, every one of them five stars, with 29 years of experience claimed, free estimates and warranties offered. The homeowners who hired the crew between mid-2024 and mid-2026 describe serious structural work, not just cosmetic repairs, and they name the prices. In an April 2026 review, the owner of a 1903 house with a fieldstone foundation described a $130,000 foundation and tuckpointing project and said Liam knows foundations and concrete in an encyclopedic way. A June 2026 customer had three courses of deteriorated concrete block replaced under a heavy concrete roof, with the new block reinforced with rebar and grouted, for $23,800. In December 2025 a homeowner spent $81,000 on foundation waterproofing and said the problems were fixed for at least their lifetime. A $42,000 commercial tuckpointing job (October 2025) drew the same praise for regular communication. Chimneys, stucco and steps fill out the smaller end of the range. A December 2025 reviewer had a chimney taken down to the roofline, the flues replaced and the stack re-bricked in bad weather; a September 2025 customer whose chimney was in disarray called Liam prompt, thorough and honest. Two stucco repairs (July 2026 at $11,000, and September 2025 done in a single day) both mention on-time starts and a clean site afterward. Front steps come up repeatedly: replaced on time and on budget for $6,000 (July 2025), rebuilt after a quote that allowed for hidden damage (May 2025), and veneered alongside a crumbling chimney repair (October 2024). Reviewers also describe a hot-tub concrete pad, brick and stone patios and walks, and a September 2024 stone project where the crew protected the lawn and shrubs and used the exact stone the owner had picked. What people consistently credit is communication and follow-through. Several reviews say Liam explained the plan up front, followed through on everything discussed, and handled surprises calmly; when a November 2025 roofing repair turned out much bigger than expected, the extra materials and a larger crew were on site by the next day. Given the size of some of these jobs, ask for the written scope, the allowance for hidden damage and the warranty terms before you sign. For a homeowner facing a failing foundation, a crumbling chimney or a big repointing job on an older house, this is one of the better-documented masonry crews on the South Shore. Confirm the HIC registration and get references for a job at your scale.
Traditional Stucco - Repair or Partially Replace ($11,000). Job was done efficiently, started and ended right on-time. Decent level of cleanup afterwards and all our questions and concerns were dealt with.
Concrete Foundation Repair ($23,800). Replaced three courses of deteriorating CMU, while supporting the weight of the heavy concrete roof. The new CMU were reinforced with rebar and the cores filled with mortar.
Brick or Stone Siding: Repair or Partially Replace. I would certainly hire Liam again and highly recommend him. He is thorough. Excellent communication. Followed through on everything we discussed. Professional and honest.
Brick or Stone Siding: Install or Completely Replace. Liam and his crew are exceptional. Job done not only as promised but faster than expected and extremely well!!!
Brick or Stone Tuck pointing ($130,000). I don't think it's possible to find a better company to work with than LBJ. Liam knows foundations and concrete in an encyclopedic fashion. Our house, from 1903, was built with a field stone foundation and hadn't had any serious foundation work since the mid 1970's. We hired LBJ to clean up the grout between the stones on the inside, and based on the work they did brought them back for a complete foundation repair with poured walls on the outside. Before they started we had holes that you could see the daylight in the basement. Now it's all closed up and solid. This job was expensive but well worth it.
