Four of the five Rock Face reviews on Thumbtack name Tony — Antonio Barra, who on LinkedIn in 2024 described himself as president of the company for 18 years and described the business as masonry and waterproofing, specializing in brick, block and stone restoration. Its Thumbtack profile puts six employees behind him, 22 jobs hired through the platform and a service area worked from Milford. What customers describe is hardscape and stone. In a 2022 review, a homeowner said Tony and his crew finished a new patio and fire pit quickly. In 2018, another said the crew replaced their front steps and walkway, showed up when they said they would, finished ahead of schedule and made some good design suggestions. A 2016 reviewer described a herringbone brick patio built in three days with all the debris carted off, including some that was not from that job, and the crew working around three dogs. The heavier work shows up as well: a 2016 customer said Tony and his workers filled holes and cracks inside and outside the foundation of a triple decker to repair and restore its structure, and said they would bring him back for a stone walkway. Thumbtack rates the company 4.7 across 19 ratings, 90 percent of them five stars and one at a single star. The written accounts run from 2016 to 2022. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration for Rock Face, #163953; look the number up yourself on the state's contractor lookup at contractorhub.mass.gov before you sign anything. For a patio, a walkway, front steps or a cracked foundation around Milford and Marlborough, this is a small crew whose customers kept naming the same man. Get the brick or stone layout, the timeline and the cleanup written into the quote, and ask who is running the job on the days Tony is on another site.

I'm very pleased with my new patio and fire pit, Tony and his crew finished the patio very quickly and it looks wonderful. Thank you Tony!
Tony did a great job repaving our patio and walkway over the course of just 5-6 days. He was extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with.
Rock Face did a great job with replacing our front steps and walkway. They always showed up when they said they would and finished the job ahead of schedule. They made some good suggestions on the design and we were very happy with the results. Would use them again for any masonry project
Tony and his workers did a tremendous job filling the holes and cracks in the outside and inside of the foundation of our triple decker to both repair and restore its structure. I am going to hire Tony again to do a stone walkway for us. I highly recommend Tony !
Tony and his crew did a herringbone brick patio for me. The work is spectacular! The job was done in three days with all debris removed, including some not related to his work. Very professional and accommodating to working with three dogs in the way. Planning another project with Rockface in the near future.
