"Driveway paving job started and completed on July 24, 2019. Job went well! This masonry project was started and completed on August 24, 2019. Todd Albert has a keen eye and the right knowledge, to fix a problem such as what we were experiencing - the wall looks like it will survive for many years to come! Excellent professionalism - I would recommend Todd Albert / S and S Masonry without hesitation! Thanks again Todd - down the road, I am certain I will be contacting you for additional projects that need attention! Joe D"

"Ever and his crew worked diligently on our backyard project, with a new patio, stone wall, and landing. We had multiple quotes from other companies and he was the only one who said it would take 2 weeks to complete while others estimated 4 weeks. Ever and his crew actually completed our project in 2 weeks, as he promised. Once the project started, we checked-in with Ever, every morning, and he was very patient to discuss our concerns and answer our questions, so that we would be on the same page. He made sure we are happy with his work at each step of the project, and now that the project is complete, we are very happy with his work. Ever is a conscientious, dependable and excellent craftsman! We definitely recommend him for masonry work such as retaining wall and patio."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Safety during masonry work starts with securing the required permits from the local building department. You must call Dig Safe before any excavation to locate underground utilities and prevent severe hazards. Always wear proper respiratory protection to avoid inhaling dangerous silica dust when cutting stone. For older homes in Holden, test existing brick surfaces for lead paint before beginning demolition to ensure safe handling and disposal.

Helpful?

Address active water infiltration, horizontal foundation cracks, and leaning retaining walls immediately. The severe freeze-thaw cycles in MA will rapidly expand existing damage over a single winter. A damaged chimney crown also requires urgent repair to prevent internal flue destruction. Conversely, cosmetic repointing and patio resetting are safe to delay until late spring. Schedule these aesthetic masonry work tasks between May and September for optimal weather conditions.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake during masonry work is applying modern Portland cement to historic brick. This traps moisture and destroys the soft brick faces found on many older Holden properties. Another critical error is ignoring proper drainage behind retaining walls, leading to rapid structural failure from hydrostatic pressure. Finally, pouring footings above the required 48-inch frost depth guarantees severe heaving and cracking during freezing winter months.

Helpful?

The rocky soil and glacial till throughout Holden present significant challenges for excavation during masonry work. Large boulders or ledge rock require removal before pouring footings. Sloped lots complicate drainage patterns, increasing the risk of water infiltration behind retaining walls. Furthermore, any new footings must reach a 48-inch frost depth to comply with MA building standards, preventing severe heaving and cracking during freezing winters.

Helpful?

In Holden, natural fieldstone and granite are highly popular for masonry work, reflecting traditional New England aesthetics. Homeowners rely on these materials for retaining walls, patios, and walkways to manage the rolling terrain. Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are also in high demand to extend the outdoor living season. Additionally, older homes require foundation parging and chimney repointing to maintain structural integrity against the elements.
