Top Mark Masonry & & Construction

Chimneys are what Top Mark Masonry & Construction kept getting called for: of the twelve Google reviews written between 2021 and 2023, five describe a rebuild, a repointing or a new flue liner. A 2022 customer with an old house, huge chimneys and a stucco exterior wrote that the crew came on short notice and dismantled and rebuilt the chimney in under two days. Google shows a 5-star average across 13 ratings, and the Quincy company works out of 859 Willard St. Speed runs through those years too — eight of the twelve reviews turn on how fast someone answered or arrived. A March 2023 customer got a call back the same day and a quote they called prompt and fair; an October 2021 homeowner had an estimate for new steps and a coat of foundation sealant within one business day; a December 2021 review says the crew came a week early for a chimney rebuild. In a November 2021 review, a customer whose flue wouldn't open after the work said Anthony came out on his day off to sort it. The other half of the work is stone around the house: granite steps and a paver walk in a November 2021 review, a patio stair landing in June 2022, and a new front walkway in a June 2022 review from a homeowner who had hired someone else first and needed that contractor's mistakes corrected. One thing to raise before booking: the Better Business Bureau grades the company B-, and attributes that grade to its failure to respond to a complaint filed there. A July 2023 reviewer described the opposite experience on a chimney rebuild — after problems with the finished work, Dermot contacted them by email and phone to clear up the miscommunication, and they said they were satisfied with the result. For a chimney rebuild or exterior stonework on the South Shore, this is a shop whose customers wrote mostly about being fit in quickly. Ask how a callback is handled if something isn't right after the job, and confirm current licensing and insurance before work starts.
