Monterey Masonry LLC is a Sheffield-area masonry contractor whose listed work centers on stone and brick construction. Houzz says the company has worked in stonework since 1982, and its profile lists patio construction, retaining walls, outdoor fireplaces, masonry, brick repair, stone installation, stone sales and stone siding among its services. The written customer history is small and dated, spanning 2017 to 2020, but the available reviews are strongly positive. A 2020 reviewer described a difficult Stuv stove installation into an old chimney and said Mark and his crew kept working until the stove functioned properly. Two 2017 reviews called the work high-quality and creative and recommended Mark Mendel. There are concrete credentials and work-history signals to discuss before booking. Houzz shows two projects, while BuildZoom shows 50 permitted projects. BuildZoom lists Connecticut license HIC.0551432 and two Massachusetts home-improvement licenses, #129956 and #173097; the Massachusetts licenses were inactive when last checked, and the state registry identifies #173097 as expired. This looks suited to homeowners seeking specialized stone or masonry work, including restoration-oriented projects and masonry around fireplaces. Confirm the current Massachusetts licensing position, project scope, timing and references for the specific work before hiring.

These guys are amazing. Nothing will stop them making sure customers are happy. We had a difficult situation trying to fit a new Stuv stove into an old chimney. Mark & his crew never gave up, working above & beyond to make sure our stove was working as it is supposed to. If you have not seen one yet, check out the Stuv collection. They are hands down the best stove on the market!
I love Monterey Masonry; they are amazing and their work is high-quality and creative. I recommend Mark Mendel very highly.
