## The honest read

TQ Masonry and Construction is a Quincy, Massachusetts mason contractor run by Leon McDonagh. Its Better Business Bureau listing shows the business as a sole proprietorship that opened in January 2022, working under the Mason Contractors category.

In a set of five Google reviews from early-to-mid 2022, homeowners praised specific masonry projects: stairs and retaining walls built professionally and on schedule, a patio installed on time, a yard drainage problem fixed alongside basement wall waterproofing, and roof and chimney work finished in about two and a half days. Reviewers repeatedly described Leon and the crew as responsive to questions throughout these jobs.

One 2022 review told a different story: a homeowner said they paid TQ Masonry in full but were left with unfinished work, and that the company changed its phone number and stopped responding to calls and texts. The same Better Business Bureau file that documents the 2022 launch also states BBB believes the business is no longer operating, so anyone considering TQ Masonry today should confirm it is still active before booking.

For homeowners who do reach them, the strongest fit based on past work is structural masonry work such as stairs, retaining walls, patios and basement waterproofing, though the unfinished-work complaint and the uncertain operating status are worth weighing against the largely positive earlier reviews.

**Strengths:**
- Custom stairs and walls — reviewers praised professional, timely masonry work
- Patio installation — praised as on-time and professional in a 2022 review
- Basement waterproofing — credited with fixing drainage and a basement wall in 2022
- Responsive crew — reviewers across multiple 2022 jobs said Leon stayed in touch

**Concerns:**
- Unfinished work — a 2022 review reported payment in full but incomplete work
- Went quiet — calls and texts went unanswered after a number change
- Business status — BBB believes the business is no longer operating

**Where sources disagree:**
- Google's 4.2-star aggregate from 6 ratings sits well above what one of the five written reviews describes, a customer alleging unfinished, unresponsive work, while BBB separately reports it believes the business is no longer operating.
