Verified record
Steve Kady Masonry works out of 200 Ashumet Road in East Falmouth and builds and rebuilds chimneys and fireplaces, plus seawalls, stonework and walkways, across Cape Cod. The company says it has served the Cape for more than 40 years under Steve Kady, whom it describes as a fifth-generation Falmouth resident and second-generation mason; BBB records the business as started in 1979 and a 2025 Falmouth opinion piece described him as 46 years in the masonry business. The credentials check out. Massachusetts registry records verify both an active Construction Supervisor licence, CSSL-059847, and an active Home Improvement Contractor registration, 126014, held in Steve Kady's own name — the same two numbers the company prints in its own site header. The business is also BBB accredited, with an A+ rating, and has been accredited since 2013. Chimney work is what customers actually hire them for, and the recent record is unusually deep: five reviews in the last six months alone, all describing chimney rebuilds. A March 2026 reviewer describes Steve responding quickly to a chimney leak, documenting the problem with detailed photos, explaining why a previous repair had missed the underlying issue and why a full rebuild was needed, then delivering on schedule. An April 2026 reviewer had one chimney demolished and another rebuilt on a house in a historic district, and credits him with working the conservation committee's approval through and keeping to the schedule anyway. Repeat business and site conduct come up repeatedly. A May 2026 reviewer had a centre chimney done in 2019 and came back for a larger one, and mentions a bluestone landing designed into their breezeway as well. Several reviewers say the crew arrived on time each morning, worked as a team and left the site as they found it. The one negative on the record is a March 2024 one-star review reading in full "They make places rock ugly and frankly unsafe" — it names no job, date or address and gives nothing to check, so weigh it accordingly, but it is there. Beyond that, the base is small: Google shows 4.6 stars from 11 ratings, and BBB publishes no star average at all.

We were very happy with the center chimney that Steve Kady did for us in 2019 so we called on him again when we needed our other larger chimney taken down and rebuilt. Once again his crew was professional, friendly, polite ... and very hard working. They do beautiful work and leave no detail undone. Steve also designed a new bluestone landing into our breezeway and we are thrilled with how it turned out. We are very grateful for their quality work and high standards.
Steve Kady and his workers did a wonderful job on my chimney work. They were professional and did a great job, on time and on budget. I would happily recommend them.
I hired Steve to demolishe1 chimney and re-build the other in my house at the historic district. Steve worked with the conservation committee to get the project approved, kept me regularly updated of the approval process and completed the job on schedule. Steve and his crew are pleasure to work with. Steve is a man of integrity and keeps his word. wish him and his crew the very best and strongly recommend him.
Steve and his crew were absolutely outstanding. He responded quickly to assess a leak in my chimney and took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on, including detailed photos and clear, professional guidance. It turned out the previous repair hadn’t addressed the underlying issues, and Steve walked me through why a full rebuild was needed without ever being negative—just honest and informative. From start to finish, everything was seamless. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and delivered exactly what was promised. The craftsmanship is top-notch—the chimney looks beautiful and is clearly built to last. His crew is experienced, professional, and incredibly respectful—they kept everything clean each day and at the end of the job. What really sets Steve apart is his integrity and customer care. He went above and beyond to help me document the prior issues and even guided me through getting a refund from the previous mason, which I successfully received. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve and his team—they are skilled, reliable, and truly a pleasure to work with.
