Stone walls, foundation repointing, stairs, and wall repairs are the through-line for Shamrock Masonry. The Worcester company says it was founded in 2001 by Pat Delaney and now has Ryan St. John handling Shamrock jobs under All Saints Contracting after Delaney's death in 2024, with work offered in Worcester, Paxton, West Boylston, and elsewhere in Central Massachusetts. Its stated work also includes fireplaces, patios, walkways, retaining walls, chimneys, sidewalks, block walls, excavations, new construction, stone veneers, block foundations, and stucco. Google shows 4.1 stars from 14 ratings, with eight written reviews spanning 2022 through April 2026. Customers describe fieldstone foundation patching, brick repointing, stone walls, stairs, and wall repairs; several mention prompt communication, fair pricing, and finished work they liked. A 2026 reviewer who had not actually hired this Shamrock still described Ryan as helpful and honest while explaining the similar-name mix-up. There are two practical questions to settle before booking. In 2023, one homeowner said a front-steps job became harder than expected, took longer, and ended $1,500 above the original $5,000 bid; another homeowner in 2022 said a postponed consultation never got rescheduled. Confirm the written scope, change-order terms, schedule, and who will perform the work under the current All Saints arrangement. This is a reasonable fit for masonry repair and small-to-mid-size stone or masonry projects where the scope is clear. Ask for a current written estimate and verify the operating company and project lead before work begins.
Shamrock Masonry was not actually the company my aunt had done business with, but I still wanted to share what a great experience we had connecting with Ryan. He was incredibly helpful, honest, and explained that there’s another company with a very similar name that has caused confusion with reviews. Even though there was no work involved, he took the time to offer guidance and even said we could reach out anytime if we had questions or needed a second opinion. That level of professionalism and willingness to help really stood out.
Pat and his brother did an amazing job at my home last fall building stone walls for a terraced garden next to my driveway and repointing my stone foundation and front walkway. Pat was very responsive throughout the project and the pricing was very fair. These two are also incredibly hard workers. I am so pleased with the walls, which are both beautiful and built to last.
The work these 2 brothers do is beautiful! They know their stuff. BUT... There were 2 bids for our front steps to be rebuilt. These men took the job and bid $5,000 for it. Evidently it was a bigger job then they anticipated. There were complaints by the 2 men on day 3 that it was going to be harder then they figured and the complaints continued throughout the project. We were given a contract as to what would be done and the cost. Due to the difficulty of the work we agreed to pay $1500 more then first agreed upon on completion of the project. Work was slow...partly due to weather, understandable. One brother must of been on another job as they only worked 4 hours a day and left, even in good weather. The clincher was when the older brother threatened to walk off the job and leave all of his tools behind. My husband responded and asked them to please finish the job. They did come back to finish the steps and did beautiful work. However, the contract specified the project included a pathway to the street.This pathway was never started and left undone. No agreement could be reached and they simply left the job unfinished yet demanded full payment. There was concern on our part that these issues would escalate even further after a phone call from them. To avoid further harassment the payment in full of $6,500 was made even though work was left undone. Due to the poor communication and constant complaints about the difficult job, and demanding full pay without finishing, I can only give a 2 star rating.. We are left with out railing to our steps and no path to the street. Not easy or pleasant men to work with.
I’m in Maine, nearly impossible to find a mason. “Jacob” from Shamrock was at my house within 24 hours and did an excellent job. Don’t let his youthful appearance fool you, he knows what he’s doing. Highly recommended.
Pat re-pointed and cleaned up the front of my brick house. Pat was knowledgeable and had good communication throughout the job. Thanks!
