# Prestige Waterproofing And Masonry

**Trade:** Waterproofing / Foundation · **Address:** 177 Huntington Ave 17th Floor, Boston, MA 02115, USA · **Website:** https://prestigewaterproofingmasonry.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

Prestige Waterproofing And Masonry is a small, Boston-based outfit — a sole proprietorship run by James Smith with about five employees, per its Better Business Bureau listing, which carries an A+ letter grade (though the business is not BBB-accredited). The written record here is thin: just two reviews, one of them a specific account of James's team building a walkway in Boston that came out well.

The company's own materials don't agree on how long it's been around — a website About page says it was founded in 2016, the homepage separately claims "20+ Years of Trusted Experience," and the BBB listing puts the start date at 2000. The website's marketing copy also describes coverage of "all major Texas metro areas" and service "across the US," generic template language that doesn't match a Boston-only outfit — worth asking directly about years in business and service area rather than relying on the website.

With so little written history to go on, get a couple of references for any masonry or waterproofing job bigger than the small one described in the reviews.

**Strengths:**
- Masonry praised — a Boston walkway job came out well

**Concerns:**
- Conflicting history — company materials disagree on founding date
- Mismatched marketing — website copy describes Texas coverage, not Boston

**Where sources disagree:**
- Founding date: website About page says 2016, homepage says "20+ Years," BBB lists 2000
- Service area: website marketing copy names Texas metro areas and nationwide coverage despite the business being Boston-based
