"Michael and his crew are very professional. Michael came out and gave me an estimate (which was final price) and was very through on what would be included in price. He seemed to be very accommodating as far as work that needed to be completed. I got quite a few estimates, but chose to hire MJ Masonry even though they were not the least expensive due to the way Michael carried himself. Crew worked very hard for 6 days to complete a retaining wall 60' long by 6' high. They were clean and courteous. The wall came out so nice I wish it weren't on the backside of property where no one can see. I would definitely hire again and highly recommend MJ Masonry."

We've dealt with many contractors since we owned our home, Liam, Bryan and their crew are among the best we have worked with. They were professional and reliable. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you so much!"

"We hired Yovani and his crew (Y&C Construction) to repair a collapsed stone retaining wall. He responded and met with me promptly after I put in my inquiry. He gave me an estimate on the spot which was very fair. I texted with questions, and he answered all of them. After seeing examples of some of his work, we hired his company. He gave me an estimate of how long it would take and honored that time frame. The crew worked steadily two full days, cleaned up after, and the repaired wall looked fantastic. I would hire this company again for stone work without hesitation. Thank you Yovani"

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Claudio and his team to completely tear down and rebuild my 75' retaining wall. Not only did they do a superb job, but they were fast, knowledgeable, easy to work with, very fair on their price and incredibly hard working. Within 3 days of beginning the job they had 2 other jobs from my neighbors after seeing their work! I would highly recommend Ramos Masonry to anyone and will certainly use them again! Thanks Claudio and Team!"

"We had a lot of crumbling mortar in our basement walls and were worried about water getting in. Pro Mass Foundation and Masonry came in and did a fantastic job repointing everything. The guys were friendly, showed up on time, and kept us updated as they worked. Our basement looks solid now and we feel much more secure."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Surviving the harsh MA freeze-thaw cycles is the biggest factor for lasting masonry work. Proper mortar joint depth prevents water infiltration and rapid deterioration. For older Arlington properties, the mortar must be softer than the historic brick to prevent structural damage. Adequate drainage behind retaining walls and proper chimney flashing are also essential. Finally, completing installations during optimal temperatures ensures the materials cure correctly for long-term durability.

Helpful?

Completing masonry work in Arlington depends on the project size and the season. Expect one to three days for chimney repointing or foundation crack repair, while retaining walls or patios require three to seven days. Factor in one to three weeks for local permit approvals. Because the MA working season runs primarily from late April through October, local professionals book up quickly, so schedule lead times extend six to ten weeks.

Helpful?

When hiring a professional for masonry work, verify their state registration and insurance coverage to protect your property. A qualified contractor must understand local permitting requirements and historic district guidelines. Because much of the Arlington housing stock dates back to the late 1800s, look for experts experienced with older homes. They must know how to match historic mortar compositions correctly to prevent severe damage to soft brick common throughout MA.

Helpful?

Applying rock salt to brick walkways accelerates surface erosion and destroys mortar during MA winters. Directing gutter downspouts toward brick steps or foundations keeps masonry work constantly wet, leading to severe freeze-thaw damage. High-pressure washing strips mortar and forces water deep into soft Arlington brick. You must also avoid growing ivy on brick walls or storing firewood against foundations, as these habits trap moisture and force cracks open over time.

Helpful?

Watch out for contractors who avoid written contracts or fail to include local permits in their quotes. For older Arlington homes, a professional must specify the correct mortar type and mix ratio to avoid damaging historic brick. Be wary of quotes that lack specific details about mortar removal depth during repointing. Finally, immediate availability during the peak MA summer season is a major warning sign regarding the quality of their work.
