The company holds an active Massachusetts HIC license and is described as locally owned. The review record is exceptionally deep and consistent, with owner Patrick McKenna named in nearly every one of over 100 reviews spanning 2021 through 2026. Reviewers repeatedly describe repair and repointing of crumbling stone and fieldstone foundations on historic homes dating to the 1850s-1900s, basement waterproofing that resolved leaking and water infiltration, chimney repair, repointing, and full rebuilds, and step and walkway resurfacing. Reviewers consistently cite fair, transparent pricing, on-time and on-budget delivery, and thorough cleanup — several describe comparing multiple bids and choosing MRW on Patrick's clarity and value.

“Patrick and team did an excellent jo”
MRW repaired and resurfaced the front stairs and walkway of our condo property in the South End of Boston. Patrick and team did a fantastic job and were competitively priced.
Patrick did an impeccable job on our 1908 basement (crumbling stone foundation & semi-finished floor). We picked him from two other competitive bids. He came in on schedule, and on budget. The job entailed prepping and parging the walls, floor demo & prep for laying radiant heat, pouring a new slab (which involved ensuring the cement recipe was right for polishing). He came back in when we asked if he could do some finishing work on the seams between the walls and floor. His team is efficient, they clean up, and the whole crew -- esp Patrick -- is craft proud, which is rare these days. He was communicative from start to finish (with us, and with the other contractors) and professional at all times. He's a gem, and you'll be lucky to work with him. Before and after pics below.
Patrick and MRW are fantastic. Patrick visited promptly to quote our project, and his team was onsite doing the work the next day. They did an excellent job and the price was very fair. 100% recommend.
Fantastic work on an old building with hard to source bricks! If you didn’t know work was done, you probably wouldn’t even notice the changes! Feels remarkable for the exterior of a building that is so old! Patrick sourced the right bricks, cut them down to size (smaller bricks used back then), and did a great installation!
Patrick was excellent and worked on my 1850 brick home in Charlestown. All of my masonry required cutting and pointing and the lintels and headers were also in need of work, etc. High quality finish! The Best! He also broke down the work into two phases so I could afford to do it over two periods. The house looks gorgeous now and I highly recommend him to all my clients and colleagues. He is very knowledgeable and also has many partners in other disciplines that he helped me navigate. Grateful for his professionalism, competitive pricing! Highly recommend!!!
