Omar Masonry And Painting LLC works out of Dedham, and the calls it gets are usually about stone: a retaining wall that's failing, a brick foundation that's cracked, a patio that needs resealing. It also brands itself as "Omar Masonry and Hardscaping" and offers landscaping, painting, carpentry, and demolition alongside the core masonry work, covering an eleven-town stretch of the Boston suburbs its own site names — Dedham, Newton, Brookline, Needham, Wellesley, Weston, Westwood, Norwood, Canton, Quincy, and Braintree.
What stands out is the consistency: 69 Google ratings average 4.9 stars, and the 39 reviews on file, running from 2021 through 2026 with seven in just the past six months, are five stars without exception. Retaining walls and stonework come up again and again — homeowners describe wood and block walls, a set of stairs rebuilt into an existing stone wall, and a brick foundation repointed after a car hit the house and needed the fieldstones repaired. One client called Omar their "go-to" for almost five years across at least ten projects, ranging from landscaping to masonry to interior painting; others mention repeat jobs, including spring and fall yard cleanups and a fence reinstallation.
Response time comes up often too — several reviewers describe same-day quotes and jobs finished within days, and more than one mentions fair or reasonable pricing, including a customer who said the crew helped enlarge a hole in a brick wall for a new oven rather than push a full kitchen renovation. It carries an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and a BBB A+ rating. Its Houzz and Procore listings, by contrast, carry no reviews of their own yet — most of what's on record comes directly from Google.
For a stone wall that needs rebuilding, a cracked foundation, a demolition job, or a yard overdue for cleanup, this is a crew with a long, consistently well-reviewed history behind it. Worth getting a written scope and estimate up front, as with any project — but very little here raises a flag.
