M&M Waterproofing & Masonry is a small, owner-led masonry and waterproofing operation run by Melvin, who handles most jobs personally alongside a small crew. Reviewers describe him taking on brick and stone repair, chimney and fireplace work, foundation and basement wall repair, and waterproofing across homes ranging from modern builds to an 1860s house. A recurring theme in the reviews is repairing rather than replacing: one 2024 reviewer says Melvin offered to fix badly deteriorated brick stairs for less than half the cost of demolishing and rebuilding them, and a 2025 reviewer had him repoint bricks on a house built around 1860 rather than replace them outright. Reviewers describe him as upfront about cost changes when he finds it, including a 2024 job where he flagged an unexpected overage from unseen damage before proceeding. He's also credited for handling less typical requests, including moving apartment furniture and mounting a TV in one 2025 review, and installing a stainless steel chimney cap with waterproofing above the roofline in a 2024 review. Two December 2024 reviews rated the experience 4 stars rather than 5 after fireplace repair work, describing prompt communication and being satisfied with the result, but stopping short of full marks; both reviewers said they'd consider hiring him again. For brick, stone or chimney repair, foundation waterproofing, or masonry work on an older home, reviewers consistently describe Melvin as responsive, transparent about pricing, and willing to repair rather than push a full replacement; confirm scope and materials directly with him before work begins on any larger job.

Couldn't be more happy and satisfied. A pleasure and great to work with. Professional and courteous from beginning to end. Job was done on time and as requested. Highly recommend!
Hose and Melvin and the whole crew were so professional, as well as a joy to work with. Their communication was spot on, they got back to me within minutes any time I had a question. The granite stairs they built were gorgeous. So beautifully done. It was evident they took pride in their work and did everything the right way, never skimping corners. As picky as i am I can't find anything that I have any issue with. And I think the granite stairs are so gorgeous that they add value to the house. (Brick and Stone Flatwork Repair, $8,370)
I worked with Melvin to complete a replacement of a number of disintegrating bricks on an old garage and repointing the bricks on my house which was built in approximately 1860. I found Melvin honest, straightforward and meticulous with his communication and his work. Melvin gave great advice and recommended some useful changes which helped make sure the work will last even longer than originally anticipated. I highly recommended M&M for all your masonry needs.

This company was responsive and prompt and did excellent work . Pricing was reasonable. Would highly recommend (Brick and Stone Flatwork Repair, $1,500)
I was very impressed with the work, the workers and the contract that was presented to me prior to the work being done. I needed to repair a stone wall that was very old. The job was better than I even expected. Will definitely recommend them and I am planning on using them again for another project. (Brick, Stone or Block Wall Repair)
