- Waterproofing that held — basements confirmed dry through rain and snow weeks later
- Finished look — patios and walkways described as looking new
- Expired registration — its MA contractor license is not currently active
- Serious complaint — a 2025 review cites a caved driveway patch and no response
Profix Masonry, Waterproofing & Restoration is an Arlington-based mason and waterproofer run by an owner named John, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration — held under Profix Masonry & Restoration Corp — is currently listed as expired. Google shows 4.8 stars across 26 ratings. Most of the written record describes hands-on stone and concrete work done well: John and his crew rebuilt steps a previous contractor had left "completely dilapidated," in a 2024 review, taking on a repair other companies had called unfixable and reportedly getting the result close to new. Basement waterproofing jobs get described in specific terms too — cracked foundation walls concreted and sealed, with reviewers confirming weeks later, through rain and snow, that the leaking had stopped. A driveway repave is described as more than a resurfacing: John is said to have flagged underlying drainage and pooling problems under a walkway and patio rather than just paving over them, and replaced what needed replacing. There's a real exception, though. In an early-2025 review, a homeowner describes a driveway patch caving in within a week, a front-step patch left an inch short of the ground, excavation debris buried under the deck or left where it was dug, and no response after repeated requests to fix it — a sharply different account from the rest of the record, and one worth weighing directly against the specific, detailed praise elsewhere. With an expired contractor registration and one serious complaint alongside a strong run of specific, positive accounts, it's worth confirming the license status directly and asking to see recent work before booking.
