Unique Masonry Boston

Unique Masonry Boston, run by Andrew and based in Chestnut Hill, works in brick, stone, and block wall repair and retaining wall installation, with the company's own listing citing 26 years of experience. It carries an A- rating with the Better Business Bureau, though it isn't BBB accredited. The reviews that describe finished jobs are positive. A 2022 Angi review called the work 'done to perfection,' another praised Andrew as customer-friendly and a good communicator, and a more recent 2026 review recommended Andrew and his team as professional. One 2022 Google review, about a roof replacement rather than masonry, described the crew as polite, well-communicating, and reasonably priced — worth noting since roofing isn't among the services the business lists on Angi or HomeAdvisor, so it's fair to ask directly whether that's still work they take on. Two things are worth knowing before calling. First, a 2022 Google review described a rocky start: the customer had trouble getting Andrew to come back and fix some initial problems, though he eventually did respond, apologized for getting busy over the holidays, and did extra work to make up for the delay. Second, a 2023 Reddit post in r/Somerville described being approached unsolicited at home by representatives of two masonry companies — one of them this business — each claiming to have spotted an issue and offering a quote on the spot, and called both companies 'sketchy' for the approach. That's a description of a sales tactic, not a completed job, but it's worth knowing about if someone shows up at your door this way. For brick, stone, or retaining-wall repair in the Boston area, the completed-job reviews here are positive, but between the slow initial response in one account and the door-to-door sales approach described on Reddit, it's worth verifying who you're dealing with and getting everything in writing before agreeing to anything on the spot.
