Sunview Masonry and Construction is a Chestnut Hill company built around old-house masonry work — chimney rebuilds, foundation repairs, and the basement leaks that come with a hundred-year-old house. Daniel and Tom lead the crews reviewers name most often, taking on jobs from a single chimney repointing to a full foundation waterproofing project around the Boston area. The strongest thread in what customers describe is chimney and foundation work finished cleanly: French drains and field-stone foundation repairs that stopped water coming into the basement, a full repoint of deteriorated interior brick walls in a condo done with minimal disruption, and chimney liners and caps installed with the quoted price holding through to the final bill. Several customers say they've called the company back for more than one job over the years, with reviews describing the same kind of careful, on-time repointing and chimney work going back to 2022. Two more recent reviews are worth asking about directly. In a review from late 2025, a homeowner in West Roxbury said the company did work on their house without pulling a permit and then stopped answering calls and emails when asked to fix it. Another from around the same time described a newly built chimney that failed a city inspection because no permit had been filed for it. A third, from early 2026, described the crew pushing for footing work during a leak call that the homeowner later traced to an unrelated cracked pipe. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, once active, is now listed as expired on the state registry. For chimney work and foundation waterproofing on an older Boston-area house, Sunview has a long run of customers happy with the finished job behind it. Before signing anything, get the permit plan and current registration status in writing, and pin down in the estimate exactly what work is being proposed.
