"As an architect I am very particular about the contractors I hire. Jim Sullivan did an excellent job on our masonry chimneyâ s. He did exactly the work he quoted and did an excellent job. The work was very professional done. He cleaned up and set up safely. He also did the work in a timely manner and communicated if they were any issues. He certainly wasnâ t the cheapest. But I know that you pay for what you get and I was happy to pay for a job professionally and well done"

"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."

"I was totally impressed with the job that “next level masonary and construction”did on my project, the men arrived on time and went right to work, they paid attention to how I wanted things to go and they did a 5 star job, they were very professional in their work and I am very happy with how my project turned out, they will be my first call if another job needs this type of work, can’t say enough these guys were great"

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!"

"I hired M&M Waterproofing & Masonry LLC to repair brick stairs that was really in bad shape. I was actually thinking of having the stairs demolished and new ones built in it's place. Melvin told me he could repair them for less than half the cost of replacing the stairs. the repaired stairs came out great. He told me he'd have them done in a week. He arrived at 8:AM every morning starting on 6/17 and finished today 6/21. He worked through all those days that saw temperatures in the upper 90's. I also want to give a shout out to Eddie's Iron Works. Melvin contracted them to design and install a beautiful wrought iron rail to complete the project. If you need any masonry work done I highly recommend M&M Waterproofing & Masonry, LLC"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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?

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.

Helpful?

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?

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.
