S. Brienze & Company is about as small as a contracting business gets. The Better Business Bureau lists it as a sole proprietorship with a single employee, run by owner Steven Brienze from 160 Mystic Valley Pkwy in Arlington. It has been at this a while. BBB dates the business to 2006 — twenty years — files it under mason contractors, and grades it A+. Worth knowing what that grade is and isn't: the company is not BBB accredited, and the letter reflects BBB's own complaint-handling math rather than anything customers wrote. And customers are the missing voice here. BBB publishes no reviews and no complaint count for the company, and nothing turned up elsewhere, so there is no outside account of how a job goes from estimate to cleanup. That puts the vetting on you, and it is straightforward enough: ask Steven Brienze for recent local references and photos of comparable work, and confirm licensing and insurance directly. A one-person shop with two decades behind it can be the right call for focused masonry — you just have to do the homework the internet hasn't done for you.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from S Brienze Co. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Not sure which you need? Start with an inspection — many reputable companies assess free, and independent assessments run up to $500.
The wall run getting the drain — a full 30×40 ft basement is about 140 ft.
