Ufirst Masonry

Ufirst Masonry is a Framingham masonry contractor run by owner Carlos, offering fire pits, fireplaces, patios, retaining walls, and walkways, with free estimates and emergency service available. Its 37 reviews span 2019 through mid-2026 and are almost entirely five stars, with one recent exception. A July 2026 review said the reviewer was disappointed with some of the finishing details after the work was done, though it doesn't specify what went wrong. The reviews just before and after it tell a different story: 2026 reviews describe a bluestone patio built quietly out of consideration for condo neighbors, a brick walkway completed in a single day, and steps and a walkway rebuilt after the originals had become crumbling and dangerous, with the customer later bringing Carlos back to add an additional walkway and slab. Several reviewers describe hiring Carlos more than once, and 2024 reviews describe a long bluestone walkway with two sets of stairs finished seamlessly in the exact time frame quoted, along with a new retaining wall, decorative cobblestone edging, and a 14x26 backyard patio, all completed on the estimated schedule. Further back, reviews from 2019 and 2020 describe restoring a field stone basement that had gone unmaintained for over 15 years, sealing large holes rodents had been using to get in, along with front steps, walkways, and retaining wall projects, consistently praised for fair pricing and punctuality. For patios, retaining walls, walkways, or general stonework in the Framingham area, this reads as an established crew with a long, largely positive history — worth asking directly about the recent complaint before booking.
