Peter Maguire Masonry works out of Stoneham handling the kind of stonework a house eventually needs — a chimney shedding mortar, a foundation wall letting in water, a set of steps that's cracked and uneven. The company says Peter Maguire trained as a mason in Europe and has run his own shop in eastern Massachusetts for more than three decades, still working every job personally alongside one or two hired hands, covering Boston, Cambridge, the North Shore, and Middlesex County. The reputation behind that is unusual for a shop this size: a clean 5 stars across 26 Google ratings, echoed by a 5-out-of-5 score from 25 votes on an independent local directory. Reviews go back to 2021, and the tone barely shifts — consistently positive, with no documented complaint anywhere to weigh against it. Independent write-ups about the company's foundation and masonry work line up on the same address, phone number, and website, so there's little doubt about who's actually doing the work. The most recent public review dates to September 2025, so it's worth confirming they're still taking on new work at the same pace before counting on a quick start. And since Peter runs the crew personally with only one or two assistants, ask about lead time up front, especially for a bigger job like a full foundation rebuild versus a single chimney cap. For chimney repair, foundation work, retaining walls, and general stonework, Peter Maguire Masonry has built a long, steady run of good reviews rather than one flashy story.

Peter and his colleague did an outstanding job rebuilding my steps. He was very quick to come by to see the job, sent me an estimate that evening, and once I agreed to have the work done he was able to get the job started sooner than expected. And because he was able to get a good deal on the materials,he passed the saving onto me. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Maguire Masonry to anyone in need of masonry work.

Maguire Masonry rebuilt my chimney from the roof up, and the work was excellent. The craftsmanship is top-notch—the chimney looks absolutely beautiful and solid. They were professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in their work. I highly recommend them for any masonry project.

Peter came out to take pictures of my chimney. He sent the pictures with comments and a quote for the work to me within a few days. Later that week he came by with a written quote and to pick up the down payment. The work was done two weeks later. The job was completed in one day and it looks amazing! Peter has also done the repointing of my foundation. I would highly recommend him.

Peter and his team did an outstanding job with my complete chimney and exterior wall repointing, front entrance step repair, and chimney cap installation. The project was completed efficiently in three weeks. I would recommend him to others.

Our chimney needed to be repaired both inside and outside. Mr. Maguire and his crew rebuilt the outside chimney to its original shape and repaired the inside of the chimney in the attic and basement. They also added a new chimney cap. The crew was very friendly and Mr. Maguire provided updates of the work being done. They did a great job keeping the site clean while completing the job. We are very pleased with the work. CM - Malden.
