"Originally hired MJ Masonry to replace an existing railroad tie retaining wall and like most projects there was mission creep. I asked Michael of MJ Masonry if they were interested in taking on 2 additional projects: replacing an old stockade fence with a new one, and replacing a cement walkway with a stone walkway. We agreed on the price of the 2 additions and all projects were completed to the original schedule within 3 weeks of the start date. Details of the projects: 1. Retaining Stone Wall is over 130 linear feet 2. Stockade Fence is approximately 88 linear feet 3. Stone Walkway is approximately 63 square feet The workers lead by Jose are consummate professionals. They went above and beyond what is required to do their job. It was the little things like cleaning up after themselves and repairing annoyance type things that is not in the contract without being asked. At the end of the entire project, my wife and I were so pleased with MJ Masonry's work, we gave them a modest bonus. The icing on the cake was when some of our neighbors coming over and telling us the day after the projects completion that the Retaining Stone Wall, the Stockade Fence, and the Stone Walkway looks beautiful."

"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."

"My backyard had a failing timber wall that the previous owner had propped up with posts, and had allowed it to lean into rapidly deteriorating shed. Jim's crew came in, removed the shed and timber wall, and also removed an intact but inadequate stone wall extending from the backyard to the street, a total distance of around 40 feet. He replaced that entire length with a beautiful split-faced masonry wall and poured a new concrete walkway to improve access to the backyard. Jim is the ultimate professional. He takes great pride in his work, loves to talk masonry and answer questions about the project, and is very transparent about pricing. The walkway was an add-on to the original project scope due to some unexpected circumstances uncovered during excavation, but he explained this at length and took photos so I could see why the additional work was required. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend his services."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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.
