MasonryKing Foundation Waterproofing & Construction

MasonryKing Foundation Waterproofing & Construction works out of Burlington, calling itself a family business that's been fixing New England foundations, basements, and chimneys since 1995. That claim comes from the company itself, but its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, #217792, is a verified fact — active and checked directly against the state registry, not a badge it awarded itself. On Google the company holds a perfect 5 stars across 41 ratings, and the recent calls tell a consistent story. One homeowner had a full basement waterproofed and said the crew explained exactly where the water was coming from before starting, then walked them through the fix — the basement has stayed dry through heavy rain since. Another needed ice dams cleared and got a same-day response at what they called a fair price. Foundation jobs make up a good share of the recent work too: a full foundation redo, a French-drain install, and an emergency foundation repair all come up as separate, recent five-star calls, alongside a mold-removal job and a new front step. Chimney rebuilds and repairs show up just as often across the company's two-year Google history — enough that foundation and chimney work look like where this crew actually spends its time, more than the occasional roof job. One thing worth raising before you book: the Better Business Bureau lists MasonryKing as a sole proprietorship that opened March 19, 2025 — about a year old — and says it isn't BBB accredited, even carrying an A- grade there off a single review. That one-year start date sits oddly next to the company's own since-1995 story. Nothing in the actual project reviews suggests a problem with the work itself, but it's a real conflict in how the company describes its own history, and it's fair to ask them to square it before signing anything. If you need foundation, basement-waterproofing, or chimney work in the Burlington area, the license checks out and the recent reviews are consistent and specific.
