Third-generation Boston masons. We work on Quincy granite, historic Wollaston brick, and everything in between.
Our crew has been laying brick and stone across the South Shore for three generations. We specialize in chimney-adjacent masonry repair: spalled brick replacement, mortar joint rebuilding, stone and granite restoration, and full structural masonry where chimney issues have spread into the surrounding wall or facade.
Quincy is full of historic masonry — Quincy granite foundations, 1920s Wollaston brick three-deckers, Squantum stone cottages. We respect the materials, match the originals, and use period-appropriate mortar mixes. No modern Portland cement on soft historic stone — a common mistake that destroys the joints over time.
Recent masonry repair work across Quincy and the South Shore — spalled brick replaced, joints rebuilt, and chimneys brought back to sound condition.
Every chimney we touch in Quincy gets the same diagnostic discipline — find the actual cause, fix it properly, and document the work. Here's a closer look at the masonry repair problems we run into most.
When brick or stone faces flake, pop, or break off, we replace course-by-course with materials matched to the original. Brick sourced from regional yards (Belden, Glen-Gery, reclaimed). Stone matched for color, texture, and grain on Quincy granite work.
Joints that crumble, wash out, or recede deeper than the brick faces need repointing — we grind out failed mortar to proper depth, then lay in color- and hardness-matched mortar appropriate to the era of the building.
Many older Quincy homes have foundations and chimney bases of native Quincy granite. We restore granite with period-appropriate techniques — never modern Portland cement (which destroys soft historic stone over time). Lime-based mortar mixes, hand-pointing where required.
Walls or chimneys pulling away from the structure are structural concerns. We assess foundation bedding, tie-back condition, and load paths, then stabilize through repointing, brick replacement, or partial rebuild from a sound base.
Brick and stone foundations in older Quincy homes (Wollaston, Adams Shore, Quincy Center) need careful repointing and selective stone replacement. We use vapor-permeable mortars where required so the wall can dry properly.
Chimney-adjacent masonry — front steps, walkway aprons, garden walls — often deteriorates from the same freeze-thaw cycles that attack the chimney. We bundle these into a single estimate when access allows.
Four clear steps — no vague pricing, no surprise add-ons, no rushed work.
We walk the entire masonry surface, document with photos, identify failure modes, and recommend a phased approach — most homes don't need everything fixed at once.
Brick or stone sourced to match. Mortar custom-blended for color, texture, hardness — softer lime-based mixes for pre-1940s, Type N/S for modern work.
Brick or stone replaced course-by-course, joints rebuilt to original profile, surrounding work protected. We work clean and respect your landscaping.
