A 2021 review names the owner as Tim and praised his honesty and commitment. In a 2020 review, RDS completed a large patio in May 2020, built around an existing pergola from a detailed drawing, with the pavers cut around the existing posts; Tim came back to redo a small transition seam after being paid in full. A 2020 review says Tim redid a driveway with pavers and created a new paver patio with two sets of granite steps, and took care of the unexpected issues that came up. In a 2020 review, RDS repaired erosion in an outside cinder block foundation and sealed it to prevent water leakage, after Tim responded rapidly and fit the job in between other jobs. A 2020 review describes timely work repairing a stone foundation of a 100 year old house in Reading, MA. In a 2019 review, Tim and his team repaired a stone wall that was destroyed by a drunk driver, working around difficult weather to finish before the cold weather set in. A 2019 review praised the company's brick and stonework on steps, a walkway and a retaining wall, done ahead of schedule. In a 2022 review of a retaining wall job, Tim also coordinated the paving and gutter work that needed to be done, and the quote was called competitive and fair. A 2020 review says Tim sent an email almost every night explaining next steps and progress while weather was unpredictable. On one 2020 job, the Covid virus held up delivery of the railings; once installed, that review says, the steps and railing look fantastic. **Strengths:** - Paver patio work — 2020 patio built around existing pergola posts - Foundation repair — 2020 cinder block foundation sealed against water leakage - Stone wall repair — 2019 wall destroyed by a drunk driver repaired - Nightly progress emails — 2020 review describes emails almost every night **Concerns:** - Railing delivery — Covid held up railing delivery on a 2020 job ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.9★ on Angi from 32 ratings and 4.9★ on HomeAdvisor from 32 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.RDSMasonryContractorsCo.111123838.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 4.9★ from 32 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/middleton/rds-masonry-contractors-inc-reviews-1.htm) — “Angi: 4.9★ from 32 ratings” - Owner named as Tim in a 2021 review _(confidence: medium)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.RDSMasonryContractorsCo.111123838.html) — “5★ I was very happy with their well-done, very high-quality, detail-oriented work.

We will be hiring Tim again to do our front steps and walkway. --- Data freshness: last scanned 2026-09-24T12:22:48.432Z.
