## The honest read

Masonry & Painting Shehu Co is an Everett, Massachusetts outfit the company describes as family-owned, with 28 years in the trade, doing masonry, tuckpointing, stonework, and painting under the name Shemsi Shehu.

Its written record is thin but consistent: eleven reviews across HomeAdvisor, Angi, and Google going back to 2014, almost all describing quick, low-friction jobs — a rug hauled out and cleaned up in half an hour in a 2020 review, six seven-foot mirrors hung for under a fifth of a glass company's quote in a 2016 review, a dehumidifier line rigged through a basement wall in a 2014 review. The most recent, from earlier this year, describes something bigger: an HOA that calls the company its go-to contractor, most recently for a full fence installation and a rebuild of a front entrance and both porches.

Two older reviews are worth knowing about: a 2014 customer said cost information only arrived after the work was done, and a separate 2014 HomeAdvisor review noted scheduling ran a little slow before the work itself moved quickly. Neither describes a bad outcome, just rougher edges around estimates and timing.

For a small masonry, painting, or general handyman job in Everett, the record points to a reliable, fast-moving crew — get a cost estimate in writing before work starts, given the one account where that didn't happen up front.

**Strengths:**
- Fast turnaround — reviewers repeatedly cite quick, efficient work
- Below-quote pricing — one review cites a price far under a competing bid
- HOA-trusted — a 2026 review describes repeat hires for fence and porch work

**Concerns:**
- Cost communication — a 2014 review said pricing came only after work finished

**Where sources disagree:**
- Its own website states 28 years in business while Angi and HomeAdvisor list 29
