We recently bought our first home, which is a 140 year old house. When we bought it the basement was dirty, a lot of the brick was crumbling and the inspector thought animals could get in through the foundation's holes. We wanted the work done quickly and before we moved in. Jason gave us a couple of options for the work with different price points, explaining the differences between each of them. He was very accommodating and he was always prompt, cheerful & courteous. I visited on the first day, the team was supposed to start at 8am and when I got there they were already on the roof taking it apart. The finished product looked great! All of the problems mentioned above were fixed and they cleaned up a lot of the dirt and debris so I no longer shudder when I think of my basement.

Jason booked time efficiently and was prompt to review the job and provide an estimate in both $ and time. They needed to bring in some equipment, and the team worked efficiently, both on the way in and cleaning up on the way out. Jason provided clear, helpful and actionable options for me and executed well. Afterward Jason came to check on the job and do some final clean up. Super job overall.

We did not use them and there was nothing in particular that we didn’t like. We went with another quote we had.

The job went well. Jason was a pleasure to work with. Excellent work and very professional.

This was an extremely custom experience with a very happy ending. We noticed Kirby Masonry signs around our neighborhood in West Roxbury this summer and were impressed by the quality of craftsmanship. Jason's proposals for our project were detailed and very competitive; he was very conscientious about the timeframe and budget for our project. Jason is easy to work with and made every effort to understand our preferences and concerns and find solutions; for example we wanted our new bricks steps to look like older brick (minus the crumbling mortar!) and we wanted the brick flower box to curve to meet the walkway (this required a custom granite cut). On several instances Jason worked beyond the outlines of the contract: cutting and hauling heavy blocks of concrete from the old walkway to our backyard so we could reuse the material, as well as transporting wheelbarrowfuls of excavated soil to the backyard. Jason was very helpful in finding a creative solution to manage the 3 foot slope between the front walkway and the driveway which is now a lovely combination of landscaped greenspace, granite steps and a flower box. Jason and his team are professional, hard-working,and personable; the job site was well-managed and tidy at the end of each work day. Jason's overall experience was very reassuring and the craftsmanship of the work speaks for itself, amazing.

Jason's work is professional, prompt, and less expensive than his competition. He pays attention to details, like dying the mortar to match the rest of the building, that some masons neglect. This job was done a year ago and is holding up well.

It went exceptionally well. After I called him initially, Jason, the owner, met me when I got home after work. He looked at the crumbly old walk, discussed options, and turned around a quote the next day for me. He communicated very clearly about what I should expect in terms of timing (both for the work itself and for his scheduling of the job). Well within the 'couple of weeks' window he committed, he called to give me 2 days notice that he'd be able to start. That was important to me to be able to notify everyone who would be affected by the disruption to access to the front of the house. The work was done in precisely the timeframe he said it would be, and came out beautifully (both in terms of the aesthetics and the slope to insure proper water run-off). Moreover, despite hostas encroaching on both sides of the walk, the work was done with virtually no disruption to the lawn or plants. I could not have been more satisfied with the work.
