Sunview Masonry and Construction works out of Chestnut Hill on chimneys, foundations, and basement waterproofing — repointing brick, rebuilding chimneys, installing liners and caps, and stopping water intrusion with French drains and foundation repairs. Its written reviews run from 2022 into early 2026, with the names Tom and Daniel showing up again and again as the crew leads customers dealt with directly. The through-line across dozens of Google reviews is chimney work done right the first time: repointing, rebuilds, new liners and caps, and leaks traced and fixed, with several customers noting the quoted price held with no surprises at the end. Foundation and basement jobs draw the same kind of detail — a fieldstone foundation waterproofed, French drains installed after a flooded basement, brickwork repointed under a century-old house — the kind of specifics that come from people who actually had the work done. Three more recent reviews complicate that picture. A homeowner in a January 2026 review said Sunview tried to sell them on footing work for a leak that turned out to be a cracked kitchen pipe. A November 2025 review described the company going unresponsive by phone and email after unpermitted work in West Roxbury. An October 2025 review said a new chimney build failed a city inspection because no permit had been pulled for it. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified against the state registry, is currently expired. For a straightforward chimney repointing or a basement leak with a clear cause, the volume of specific, satisfied accounts here is hard to ignore. Given the more recent complaints, it's worth asking directly about permits and confirming the registration before signing on for larger structural work.
We hired Sunview for a bulkhead and leak evaluation along with patchwork. While on site, they attempted to upsell significant footing work, claiming it was the cause of the water intrusion, which we later found on our own to be a cracked kitchen pipe. We did not proceed with the upsell, but the original patchwork was also subpar. Over the past 12 months, I've reached out 4–5 times and was repeatedly told someone would return to fix it, but no one ever did. Extremely unreliable. Do not use this company.
This company has ghosted us after doing unpermitted work on our home in West Roxbury. They agreed to fix it but they’re not answering their phones or responding to emails. Do not use this company.
I’m extremely disappointed and frustrated with Sunview Masonry and Construction. They built a new chimney in my home, and I trusted them to do the job right. But according to the city inspector, the chimney wasn’t up to code and they never even got a city permit! Because of their negligence, my house caught on fire when I used the chimney. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Thank God no one got hurt and my insurance was able to cover the damage, but this should have never happened. I feel completely betrayed by this company. They were supposed to make my home safer — not put my family in danger. Please, don’t make the same mistake I did. Always double-check for permits and inspections before trusting anyone with your home.
We had an unexpected chimney leak issue recently. I’m super happy with the chimney repair I received from Sunview Masonry & Chimney ! They were quick to schedule, arrived on time, and provided a detailed explanation of the work required. The estimate was reasonable, and the team were highly skilled. I highly recommend them for all your chimney repairs. Thanks for the great service!
