M&R Masonry is a Saugus-based masonry and concrete contractor run by Rudiberto ("Rudy") Lopez, whose active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration backs a business the company says has served Saugus and nearby towns since 2001. The website describes patios, walkways, stonework, stone veneer, repointing, stairs, and foundation work as its core offerings. Chimney work is the clearest specialty across dozens of reviews spanning 2021 through 2026 — repairs, full rebuilds, repointing, and leak fixes come up again and again, with Rudy and his crew consistently described as responsive and thorough. A December 2025 review describes a full chimney removal and rebuild that "went smoothly from beginning through completion," and a March 2026 review describes a chimney base repair handled by a team that was "very responsive and respectful." Stairs and walkways are the other recurring thread: an April 2026 review describes rebuilt steps, new rails, and a granite walkway built with attention to accessibility for people with mobility challenges, and a couple of 2021 Thumbtack reviews describe brand-new stone stairs completed within about a week of the initial quote. A 2021 Thumbtack review also describes foundation cracks repaired along with cut limestone and bluestone work finished in a single day, and a 2024 review describes a retaining wall built with steady communication throughout. The business's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and it holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating (though it isn't BBB-accredited) and Thumbtack Top Pro status for 2021 and 2022. Two reviews from August 2022 stand out from an otherwise strongly positive record: one describes waiting roughly three months for a start date before being told the crew couldn't find help, and another describes slow, unprofessional responses to scheduling. Recent activity is strong — four reviews in the past six months, all five stars — and the overall pattern across 34 reviews since 2021 is a chimney and masonry specialist that shows up, communicates, and gets recommended repeatedly, with the 2022 scheduling complaints worth asking about if timing matters for your project.
Great work. Easy to work with. Highly recommend
Rudy and his team did an amazing job rebuilding our steps, adding new rails, and putting in a new granite walkway. He was very attuned to our needs for increased and safe accessibility for people who have mobility challenges. Everyone was efficient and precise and the cleanup was stellar. Highly recommend M&R Masonry.
So glad I found Rudy and his crew. He came out fave and estimate that was fair and reasonable and said he could do a glass block window in our basement the next day! His guys were great. Knew just what to do, cleaned up after themselves, and left us with a job well done! Thanks Rudy, we’ll be calling again
My chimney base was in need of repair. I contacted M&R Masonry (first time customer) and spoke with Rudi, who was very responsive and respectful. He and his team did an excellent job with the repair. Thank you Rudi and Team!
We had our chimney removed and rebuilt this year by M&R Masonry. All went smoothly from beginning through completion. When we called for information, Rudy got back to us immediately. Rudy and his team are very professional and skilled and completed the project quickly. We are extremely happy with the results! I highly recommend M&R Masonry.
