Jon Benson founded North Shore Masonry Restoration in Groveland, Massachusetts in 2021 after a 10-year career in law enforcement, and the reviews since then read like a return to a craft he clearly missed: century-old brick and stone, brought back rather than replaced. All 13 reviews on file, from 2022 through 2026, are five stars, and they describe the same kind of work again and again: repointing chimneys on houses 60 to over 100 years old, restoring a crumbling fireplace chimney, and rebuilding a fieldstone foundation that one 2025 reviewer said they never expected could look that good again. In a 2026 review, a customer described Jon repointing an 80-plus-year-old interior brick wall and preserving the character of the original brick; in a 2022 review, another credited him with restoring a badly failing 1840s chimney and called him a master craftsman. Reviewers consistently mention him showing up on time, sticking to his quoted estimate, and cleaning up fully when the job was done — one 2025 review said three other masons they'd contacted never called back or quoted sky-high prices before Jon came through. One thing worth knowing: Massachusetts's registry verifies his home improvement contractor registration, #203647, as expired, and BuildZoom independently confirmed the same lapse in mid-2026. It's worth asking directly about his current registration status before signing a contract. For chimney repointing or historic brick and stone restoration on an older North Shore home, Jon's reviews describe exactly that kind of careful, patient work — just confirm the registration is current first.
