Verified record
Ronchetti Masonry and Waterproofing is a fourth-generation, family-run company based in Lexington, Massachusetts, that has offered basement waterproofing, foundation repair, drainage, and masonry work since 1948. The company says it serves homeowners across Middlesex, Suffolk, and Norfolk counties, including Lexington, Waltham, Newton, Cambridge, and Concord. Independent signals back up the long track record: BuildZoom lists a Score of 91, two active Massachusetts licenses — a Construction Supervisor license and a Home Improvement Contractor registration — and 17 permitted projects on file, spanning driveway, foundation, and chimney work across Middlesex County towns. In a 2016 community listserv post, a homeowner described Ronchetti's masonry crew as prompt and experienced, praising a repointing and stone-step repair job where the crew adjusted the plan on the fly after uncovering surprises. A 2024 Google review called it simply "the best company." Online customer reviews for Ronchetti are still sparse, so it's worth asking for recent local references directly given the long history behind the name. Two older City of Newton licenses (Building Contractor, Residential Builder) show as inactive, though the company's current Massachusetts state licenses are active. For homeowners in the Lexington area needing basement waterproofing, foundation repair, or masonry work, Ronchetti's decades-long track record and verified active licensing make it worth a call — just confirm current insurance and ask for recent references before booking.
