Stefano Torcasio Masonry is a Waltham crew built around one kind of call: a retaining wall that needs rebuilding, a patio or walkway redone in stone or brick, a chimney that's leaking. The company says it's been at this 25-plus years, and the written record backs the longevity up — 21 reviews on file running from 2015 to 2025 across Google, Angi and HomeAdvisor, every single one five stars. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#192535) is verified active with the state; Angi and HomeAdvisor separately list its expiration as December 2026. What keeps coming up across a decade of reviews is the estimate and the follow-through: people call Stefano out, get a competitive price, and the crew shows up when it says it will. A 2025 review described a stone retaining wall smashed by a falling tree branch, repaired only after Stefano was asked to hold off until a second branch came down safely. In a 2023 review, a homeowner credited him with correctly diagnosing a leaking chimney base on a 1935 house after three other masons had missed it, then excavating and waterproofing the foundation himself. A 2021 review called the crew simply "the best contractors I have ever dealt with" after a front porch, steps and walkway job. There isn't much to flag about the actual work — no review in the file raises a complaint, and the license checks out with the state. The one thing worth knowing before calling: BuildZoom's own contractor database couldn't verify a license on file for the company and shows only a single 2025 building permit, which understates the business considerably next to the state registry and the review history on Google, Angi and HomeAdvisor. This is a solid call for stonework — retaining walls, patios, walkways, steps and chimney repair — especially if a firm, fair estimate and a crew that finishes on schedule matter. Worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly, since even the most recent reviews are now several months old.
Cannot say enough good things. Stefano does superb work on schedule.
We had a great experience with Stefano Torcasio Masonry. We needed to replace the front walkway at our home in Arlington. Stefano responded quickly to our request for an estimate. Work began well within the time he had estimated and concluded on time. Premises were left spotless. His crew, headed by Luigi, was professional and pleasant, and Stefano or Luigi consulted with us as needed. We are very pleased with the new walkway. We highly recommend Stefano Torcasio Masonry.
A large branch from my neighbor's tree smashed a stone retaining wall in my backyard. Stefano came quickly to provide an estimate, which was the most reasonably priced of the 3 I obtained. I asked him to delay making the repair because another tree branch was threatening to fall, and I didn't want anyone to get hurt. It did fall, and then his company came and did an excellent job. They also made some long overdue repairs to stairs from the lower to the upper part of the yard and to the cement on top of the stone wall.
We could not have been more pleased with Stefano Masonry. The work was done professionally & thoroughly. Stefano was clear about the construction process & also was the most reasonable of all the bids we got .A really great company!. Donna
Competitive estimate but superior explanation of work before/during. Great crew finished retaining wall along 75ft driveway with exceptional results. They showed up early and finished project on time. Highly recommended!!
