Highlights
- Chimney work — repointing, rebuilds and caps done cleanly since 2021
- Detailed quoting — photos, written estimates before work starts
- Owner on the job — Peter personally executes with a small crew
Peter Maguire Masonry is a one-man-and-a-small-crew chimney and masonry shop based in Stoneham — the company's own site says Maguire spent over three decades as a master mason, including work in Europe, before opening this shop, and that he personally works every job alongside one or two assistants. The reviews, spanning 2021 through 2025, tell a remarkably consistent story: Peter shows up to look at the job himself, sends a written quote (often with photos) within days, and then does exactly what he said he would, on the timeline he promised. Chimney work is what people hire him for most — rebuilds from the roof up, repointing, new caps, stucco redone, flashing repaired — and reviewers keep noting the crew leaves the site clean each day. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described him sealing a leaking basement with a detailed waterproofing plan; another had him rebuild a set of front steps. In one case, rather than sell a customer more work over a brick-fireplace issue they asked about, he told them how to fix it themselves cheaply. There's nothing negative in the record to flag — the pattern across every review is the same: responsive, on-budget, and tidy. The company's own site also states an Angie's List Super Service Award for 11 years running. For anyone in the Boston/North Shore area needing chimney repair, repointing, or foundation waterproofing, Maguire's record points to careful, communicative work — just note it's a small operation, so lead time may depend on his schedule.
