Rhino Roofing and Masonry

Rhino Roofing and Masonry is a Quincy outfit that customers hire for the old-house exterior list — a brick foundation and chimney to repoint, a roof to replace, wood gutters to rebuild, a walkway to redo — and the reviews mostly describe that list being worked through in one visit. Its Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles show 4.6 stars from nine ratings each and claim 21 years of experience; Thumbtack shows 4.8 stars from five, and its BBB page carries an A grade without accreditation. Most of what customers wrote in 2025 is specific and favorable. One North Cambridge homeowner described Gus Doherty's crew repointing the brick foundation and chimney, patching and leveling the basement floor and repairing long-neglected wood gutters; another had two walkways redone and five brick columns built to match historic architecture; a third had an exterior remodel in Cambridge — painting, replaced rafters, reframed windows, rotten wood removed. A roofing customer got a price on architectural shingles, had materials delivered the same day and the crew there the next. Earlier Thumbtack reviews from 2023 and 2024 cover a storm-damage roof repair with a few extra fixes thrown in, brickwork, an asphalt driveway, and a basement waterproofed and stuccoed. The one to read before calling is a July 2025 one-star review: a homeowner paid $15,000 to have a basement's interior foundation repointed and called it one of the worst contractor experiences they'd had — overpriced, unprofessional, and careless work, against a different company's exterior job they'd been happy with. It is the only complaint on file, but it is about the company's core trade, and it is recent. Two smaller things: the 2023 Thumbtack reviews credit a "John" and his team while the 2025 Angi reviews all name Gus Doherty, and one 2025 review calls them the best roofers in Greenbrae, which is not a Massachusetts town — worth asking who will actually run your job. A reasonable call for combined masonry-and-roof work on an older Cambridge- or Quincy-area house. Get the repointing scope, the price and the cleanup in writing, and ask for a recent foundation job you can look at.
