MJ Spero Company

MJ Spero Company is a Braintree, Massachusetts masonry outfit doing brick and stone work — steps, walls, walkways, patios, chimneys and fireplaces — for Braintree, Quincy and Weymouth on Boston's South Shore. The state registry lists an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration for the company, though the Better Business Bureau gives it an F grade, citing a failure to have a required competency license and noting one alert on file — the two don't agree, and it's worth asking directly which license BBB means before signing anything. There isn't much independent customer feedback to go on. In 2025, one Reddit poster in the Boston area mentioned getting quotes from MJ Spero alongside a few other masonry and landscaping companies, without saying more about the work itself. The company presents itself as a small, family-run crew — run by Michael "Mike" Spero — but its own website gives three different founding years (1985, 1991 and 1996) for how long it's been in business, so take any "decades in business" claim with that in mind. Given the conflicting license read and the thin outside record, it's worth confirming the company's current licensing directly and asking for recent local references before hiring for a significant masonry project.
