Shamrock Masonry's site says it provides commercial and residential masonry and restoration in Central Massachusetts, from stone walls, stairs and fireplaces to retaining walls, chimneys and block foundations. Its stated service area is Worcester, Paxton and West Boylston. The site says Pat Delaney founded the company in 2001, and that Ryan St. John took over Shamrock Masonry jobs after Pat Delaney's passing in 2024, under his own company All Saints Contracting. A recent Google reviewer wrote that Ryan explained another company with a very similar name has caused confusion with reviews, and offered guidance even though no work was involved. A 2024 customer said Pat and his brother built stone walls for a terraced garden next to the driveway and repointed the stone foundation and front walkway, and called the pricing fair. A 2023 customer said Pat re-pointed and cleaned up the front of the customer's brick house. A 2022 customer said Pat did the stairs and repaired a wall. A 2022 customer who needed a fieldstone foundation patched said the company was prompt and answered phone and text questions. A 2023 customer who hired the two brothers to rebuild front steps on a $5,000 bid said the household agreed to pay $1,500 more because of the difficulty of the work. That 2023 customer said a pathway to the street named in the contract was never started, and that full payment of $6,500 was made with the work left undone. That 2023 customer also said the steps were left without a railing. A 2022 customer said a scheduled consultation was postponed the same day and no one ever showed or called to reschedule.
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!
