Profix Masonry, Waterproofing & Restoration is an Arlington-based masonry and waterproofing contractor built around its owner, John, who reviewers name directly in nearly every account of a completed job — patios, walkways, front steps, driveways, and basement waterproofing. The written record, all from 2024 and early 2025, is heavily positive. Reviewers describe John and his crew building new patios and walkways, repaving driveways, and waterproofing basements that had been cracking and leaking — one 2024 review said cracks and leaks in a basement were finally gone after the work. Another 2024 review described a set of front steps, called unrepairable by an earlier contractor because of significant cracking and settling, that Profix repaired successfully. A 2025 review tells a different story: after hiring the company, through a contact named Roy rather than John, to fix a foundation crack and redo some front-step stone, the reviewer said a driveway patch began caving in about a week later and the steps were left unfinished. Worth asking about directly: Profix's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license shows as expired in state registry records. For masonry and waterproofing work — patios, steps, driveways, foundation repair — the written history here is mostly strong and specific, with one serious complaint about a patch failing shortly after the job. Get the license situation squared away and ask exactly who will be doing the work before booking.
