"Liam, Brian and their team were very professional, and excellent communicators. They could always be depended on to show up when they said that they would be here (or early even), and finish either on time or ahead of schedule. For each step along the way, they explained what they were doing, and called us out to see each phase of the work as it was progressing. I highly recommend LBJ Masonry."

"Hired them in August to repoint all of the foundation outside and about half inside of the basement (brick repointing) also added some waterproofing and everything looks great and I haven't had any water come in the basement as a result of Ben The Mason and his son's great work. Highly recommend them for any masonry project, we also talked about redoing my front steps which I will follow up with sometime in the near future."

"Next Level Masonry rebuilt my front steps with Granite steps (4) and used granite pieces for the sides and front. They installed two-tone pavers for the walkway. The crew was amazing and their work is awesome!! I would recommend Next Level Masonry to anyone. The crew works hard, they are on time, and are very precise in measurements."

"I’d like to highly recommend MJ Masonry Corp, who recently installed new paver walkway and granite steps at our home. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the workmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were exceptional. The new pavers and granite steps look beautiful, and it’s clear the entire team takes pride in their work. They were responsive, dependable, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was done right. It’s refreshing to work with a company that takes such pride in its craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MJ Masonry Corp to anyone looking for quality masonry and hardscaping services. I’d gladly hire them again"

"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"

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

To maintain masonry work properly in Reading, keep crack monitoring tools and repointing materials on hand. The frequent freeze-thaw cycles and heavy winter snowfall cause significant surface deterioration. Road salt and de-icing chemicals damage driveways and walkways over time. Inspect your property after winter and repair any mortar joint cracking or white salt deposits before spring moisture worsens the damage.

Helpful?

Freeze-thaw cycle resistance is the most critical factor for lasting masonry work in MA. Using incompatible modern cement on older historic brick causes rapid deterioration. You must install proper drainage systems to handle heavy precipitation and snowmelt. Schedule installations before late fall to ensure the mortar cures completely before freezing temperatures arrive. Secure all necessary building permits to guarantee code compliance.

Helpful?

Masonry work in older MA homes directly impacts adjacent systems like plaster walls, cast iron plumbing, and electrical wiring. Altering a chimney alters the draft performance of gas appliances vented through it. Foundation repairs near wetland areas disrupt basement drainage and sump pump systems. Always hire local professionals to evaluate these hidden connections and secure the required building permits before starting your project.

Helpful?

Reading homeowners favor traditional New England aesthetics for their masonry work projects. Natural fieldstone veneers, matching brick, and granite boundary walls remain highly popular. For outdoor living spaces, residents prefer bluestone patios and custom fire pits designed for the long shoulder seasons. Permeable paving solutions are also gaining traction to manage local stormwater runoff and protect the nearby watershed.

Helpful?

Your property layout and construction era dictate the complexity of masonry work. Many older Reading homes feature fieldstone foundations requiring specialized lime-based mortar. Sloped lots create hydrostatic pressure against retaining walls, demanding precise drainage solutions. Homes in the historic district face strict material restrictions. Excavation near aging, shallow utilities requires advance notification. Consult a certified specialist to navigate these structural challenges safely.
