Nesius Masonry

Nesius Masonry is a Newburyport, MA masonry and hardscape contractor working in stairs, chimneys, patios, walkways, stonework and other outdoor features. Its website describes itself as a residential and commercial mason with more than 10 years in business and a union bricklayer background. BuildZoom lists two Massachusetts licenses for the company -- a Home Improvement Contractor registration and a Construction Supervisor license -- and credits it with 17 permitted projects since 2017. A 2022 newspaper article said company president Patrick Nesius had been a mason for 14 years, and that he had done restoration work on the All Saints bell tower about six years earlier. A federal workplace-safety violation tracker lists a $5,626 penalty against the company in 2023 for a workplace safety or health violation -- worth raising directly. The company's own materials also disagree on who owns it: Houzz names Patrick Nesius as owner and operator, while BuildZoom's licensing data lists Steven Noltemy as owner and Nesius as vice president. Worth a look for stonework, chimney and patio projects. Ask about the current status of both licenses, how the 2023 safety violation was resolved, and who you'd be contracting with before signing anything.
