Pioneer Masonry Construction

Pioneer Masonry Construction, working out of Dorchester, is the crew people call when a set of front steps or a chimney needs repointing rather than replacing. Google gives it a perfect run — 5.0 stars across eleven ratings — and the reviews that go into detail almost all describe the same kind of job: worn brick and stone brought back into shape. Chimney work comes up again and again in the reviews. Several homeowners, across more than a year of write-ups, describe the crew repointing a chimney or a set of front steps and say they'd call again. One reviewer had brick walls built inside a living room and kitchen and called the finished work close to perfect; another had a leak in a flat garage roof fixed, with photos and an explanation of the repair along the way. A backyard project that turned into an outdoor living space drew praise for showing up on time every day and building in the homeowner's own suggestions. Before booking, it's worth asking about an open complaint: the Better Business Bureau lists Pioneer Masonry Construction at a C- for failing to respond to a complaint filed against it, and the business is not BBB accredited — worth raising directly, since none of the Google reviews mention it. For a homeowner with a chimney, front steps, or a brick wall to repair, this is a masonry crew with a specific track record in that kind of repointing work — plus enough range to have picked up a roof leak and a backyard rebuild along the way. Confirm current availability and check on the BBB complaint's status before signing anything.
