Verified record
StoneBase Masonry, run by Jonathan out of Auburndale, does two things constantly: chimney and hardscape masonry, and foundation and basement waterproofing — and reviewers describe him personally showing up to quote, assess, and often work the job himself. Across 116 Google ratings, every one of them five stars, the same details repeat: a same-day or next-day quote, a written proposal, and a crew that stays until a job is actually finished, heat wave or not. The written record covers 102 reviews from 2024 into this year, and the range of work is wide. On the masonry side: chimney rebuilds and repointing, paver patios, driveways and walkways, and brick repointing on houses more than a century old. On the waterproofing side: basement walls reinforced after mold and moisture damage, Drylok applied to a Cambridge basement, and exterior foundation waterproofing. One customer describes a job that changed scope mid-project — a chimney repoint that the crew found needed a full rebuild once they got a closer look — and Jonathan is described as personable and communicative rather than pushing extra costs onto the customer for it. There isn't a negative or mixed review anywhere in the record so far, across every platform it's tracked on. That's an unusually clean run for a business this size, and it's worth treating as exactly that — a strong track record, not a guarantee. As with any contractor, it's still worth getting a written scope and timeline before work starts, especially on a job with real structural stakes like a foundation or a chimney. StoneBase looks like a solid call for masonry and foundation work that needs to be done right rather than fast and cheap — chimney repairs, foundation reinforcement, and basement waterproofing all show up repeatedly and in detail. For a smaller cosmetic job like a walkway or a set of steps, the reviews suggest Jonathan is just as willing to show up and do it well.

Jonathan and his team are absolutely phenomenal! I recently purchased a home, and I needed some masonry and foundation repairs. Jonathan gave me a very competitive quote and was able to get me scheduled extremely fast. His team did a fantastic job and were able to complete the entire project in one day. I highly recommend StoneBase Masonry!
Jonathan is a great guy who kindly guided us through the design and construction process. His crew was painstakingly scrupulous in their work, they continued with focus and concentration even in high heat conditions. The finished stairs are expertly crafted and beautiful to behold!
Jonathan and his team are the best. This started from my very first interaction. I got a very prompt reply to my inquiry. Jonathan waited patiently for me to get other quotes and to check his references. I was actually a little concerned by how glowing the references were but, now I understand why his customers love him. Jonathan and his team removed a cinder block foundation from under my garage that had deteriorated so badly that you could put your hand through the blocks like they were made of paper. They hand dug down to 6 feet, braced the structure, removed the old blocks and all of the debris, added new lolly columns, and rebuilt the foundation walls with new cinder blocks filled with concrete. They cleaned up every day and worked long days and weekends to get the job done in a timely manner. Jonathan stopped by every day and/or had his supervisor on site for all of the work. On the final day, he came by to ensure the final cleanup was to my standards and look at the quality of the finished work I will be using Jonathan and Stonebase for all my future hardscape, foundation, driveway, etc. work. You should too.
I just wanted to reiterate how amazing, efficient, clean and prompt Jonathan and his team are StoneBase Masonry! They use only the top of the line products and the work they did looks as good as new even after the grueling winter! Look no further than StoneBase!
Jonathon and his team did an incredible job repairing my basement walls. I had just moved into my house when I noticed the basement wall crumbling, notable mold and moisture. Jonathan walked us through the extent of the damage and the best resolution. His team were able to come out within 2 weeks and transform the basement walls. They did an amazing job removing the loose mortar, replacing and applying a moisture proof top layer. The space has transformed and the results speak for themselves. I can now start to enjoy my home knowing I have a solid foundation. Thanks again
