Unique Masonry Boston

Unique Masonry Boston works out of Chestnut Hill, handling brick and stone masonry -- retaining walls, wall repair, and flatwork -- under a business its own listings say has run 26 years, with a mason named Andrew fronting the crew in review after review. The reviews that do exist lean positive on the specifics: a HomeAdvisor customer said the finished job was done to perfection, and multiple Angi and HomeAdvisor reviewers single out Andrew's team for being easy to reach and fairly priced. One Google reviewer even described a full roof replacement, so the work isn't strictly bricks and mortar. The written history is thin -- six reviews total spread from 2022 to 2026 -- and it isn't all clean. A December 2022 Google review recounted a slow stretch getting Andrew back on the phone to fix an initial problem, though he did eventually follow through and offered extra work to make up for the delay. The Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A- under Mason Contractors, without accreditation or a published complaint history. Worth asking about before booking: a 2023 Reddit thread in r/Somerville named Unique Masonry Boston, alongside a second company, going door-to-door and offering quotes after claiming to spot a problem with a house -- a pitch the original poster flagged as a red flag for the neighborhood, not this contractor's own account of the visit. For a small, established masonry outfit, that's a business worth a call for retaining-wall or brick repair -- just pin down scope and price in writing given the mixed signal on follow-through, and ask directly about the door-to-door solicitation before letting anyone in.
