New England Stonemasonry is a Concord, Massachusetts stoneworker that's been building retaining walls, patios, and hardscape across the western Boston suburbs since 1985. Owner Robert Young started the business as a hobby after a mechanical engineering degree at Cornell, and the company says he's still running it 41 years later. BuildZoom's permit records back that up: 26 building permits for the company, mostly stone retaining walls, patios, and masonry stairs, in Brookline, Chestnut Hill, Newton, and Arlington. Better Business Bureau rates the company A+ (it isn't BBB-accredited), and lists it as incorporated in 2002 with 5 employees. BuildZoom's directory carries a Mason license (#70878) and several Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor numbers (#194366, #123775, #155585) for the company — worth checking directly with the state for current status before signing a contract. A fit for a homeowner planning stonework — a patio, a retaining wall, hardscape — in the western Boston suburbs; confirm current licensing and get a couple of recent references before booking.
