**Rating: 2.9/5** (medium confidence) — from 12 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Top Mark Masonry & Construction, working out of Quincy, is the call homeowners with an old, temperamental chimney seem to make first. Google reviews from 2021 through 2023 repeatedly describe a rebuild or repointing job — a flu liner replacement, a full repointing that left one chimney looking new again (2022), and a dismantle-and-rebuild on an old house with huge chimneys and a stucco exterior, finished in under two days (2022).

Anthony is named as the lead across several jobs spanning 2021 to 2023 — a granite-steps-and-paver-walk project in 2021, a fast chimney rebuild later that year, and more chimney work in 2023 — described consistently as responsive and willing to walk homeowners through material choices.

The company also takes on patio and step work: a 2022 review mentions a new landing on patio stairs, and a 2021 review describes an estimate for new steps and a foundation sealant coat delivered within a business day, despite supply-chain delays at the time.

Not every job went smoothly on the first pass. A 2023 reviewer describes some issues after a chimney rebuild, resolved when Dermot from the company reached out personally by phone and email to fix the miscommunication. A 2021 reviewer needed a return visit — on the installer's day off — to reopen a flu that wasn't working right after the original job. Both were made right, but they're worth knowing going in.

Its Better Business Bureau profile carries a B- grade, driven by one filed complaint the company didn't respond to — worth asking about directly before booking.

The pattern across two years of reviews is complex chimney and masonry work turned around fast, by the same small crew, with a track record of following up when something needed fixing.

**Strengths:**
- Chimney rebuilds — fast turnaround on complex, older homes
- Clear communication — prompt callbacks, kept appointments
- Owner follow-through — personally resolved a client miscommunication

**Concerns:**
- BBB complaint — went unanswered, driving a B- grade
