They did some great work for me about 5 years ago, as well as a few other houses in our neighborhood. The picture of my driveway is on their list. Still looking good. Need more pavers to match.

I had my front entrance steps and back yard asphalt done in the spring. They told me they are coming back in the fall to do the seal coating because of the weather.HOWEVER, THEY NEVER SHOW UP....I text them several times, every time they would just say we are coming soon...but it's the end of Oct I still didn't see them here and they start ignoring my messages.Btw, lock your tool room/cabin/garage when they are working~ because they will open it without your permission and use and take away your stuff.

These guys are top notch and really nice guys.....!! They do what’s right on the job and don’t cut corners....!! I totally recommend these folks and if you want to see photos of my house hit me back....!!They’re also very competitively priced.....I suggested some change orders and they accommodated me without killing my bank account....!! The only problem is that they do such good work....that they’re booked a lot of the summer on jobs .......if you can’t get it done immediately it’s worth the wait to work with Anthony and Miguel...!! Cool guys and very responsive...... I have recommended them to all my friends Will definitely be calling them back in the summer

The finished brick looks great and I am very satisfied with the quality of their services. They also did some masonry repair services for me in the past. The team works fast and is very professional and polite. They are very attentive to details and never overprice their work. If you need stone restoration and waterproofing of the highest quality, you need Mass masonry & Stone

We had the Back steps and fence replaced on our home in Belmont Everything was done exactly as described and on time. This was one of the best experiences we've ever had with any company large or small. I recommend Mass masonry stone and paving for any home project you have Thank you for such a beautiful job

AVOID MASS MASONRY & STONE AT ALL COSTS!!!!These guys lie and cheat to get business. DO NOT TRUST THEM.Beware of John Ford and his whole scam operation!!!John works under someone else's MA Contractor's license, and the work done by his unlicensed crew is incomplete. It does not meet the standards of professional contractors.I will be working with my friends at the State Attorney's office to begin the process of rectifying this matter.Ripping off the elderly is not taken lightly.More to come on this.

John & his crew did an outstanding job on my front steps & driveway. I had alot of concerns having such a major job done. John explained each step of the job & put my mind at ease. Any issues and concerns I had were handled immediately & professionally. He is dedicated to customer satisfaction Will definitely be getting them back thank you & Good luck in the future

AVOID MASS MASONRY & STONE AT ALL COSTS!!!! These guys lie and cheat to get business. DO NOT TRUST THEM. Beware!!! John Ford is the manager of this operation and he will tell you whatever you want to hear in order to secure your business. That includes misinformation (lies!!). My elderly parents were manipulated and signed a contract based on an agreement with John. They trusted him and were let down. Mass Masonry & Stone (MMS) uses a MA Contractor's License that DOES NOT belong to them. According to public record and MMS marketing materials (flyer, website), MA license #192910 belongs to Miguel Reascos, who is NOT affiliated with this business. Miguel, the owner of MMS, is a FRAUD and has stolen someone else's information. The work done by Miguel (owner) and John's crew is incomplete. The work quality is poor as puddles can now be seen in a freshly paved driveway. Corners were cut and the results are glaring. In addition, it is worth noting that both Miguel and John Ford have very bad tempers. I experienced this directly, as did my parents, and my uncle. Their lack of professionalism is appalling, and an embarrassment to anyone in the Boston business community. Both are disrespectful, aggressive, uncouth, and vile. Aside from the behavioral issues, Mass Masonry & Stone did not properly complete the project. The work was faulty (see pictures) and needs to be redone. The primary issues with Mass Masonry & Stone: 1. Poor work quality 2. Incomplete work. Mass Masonry & Stone did not compete the agreed to work in the contract. Asphalt was laid and all other steps were not completed (includes 6" of modified stone, 2" binder blacktop, overlay driveway, fill major cracks, compression of all edges at 45%, etc.) 3. Defective work. After less than 2 weeks of the work being done there are puddles in the driveway. AFTER ONLY 2 WEEKS!!! (see pictures) 4. Payment. My parents wanted to use a check and MMS would ONLY ACCEPT CASH PAYMENT. It was expected that THOUSANDS of dollars would be paid in cash. Not check. Not money order. Not credit card. CASH. Additional Issues: 1. CHILD ENDANGERMENT. On the day the primary work was done, Mass Masonry & Stone had a 9 year old child on site near hazardous materials. This is unsafe and there are child protection and labor laws that have been violated. 2. Continuous LIES. It's become too hard to keep track of the lies, but I have text messages that show much of the misinformation that was shared. 3. TAX FRAUD. When a business demands cash payment you have to wonder about issues like TAX EVASION. 4. THREATS for bad reviews. Threats that insinuate harm by Miguel Reascos (owner), and the families of Miguel Reascos and John Ford. The threats were made by Miguel Reascos via text messages. These messages have been shared with the police. John Ford has also threatened me. Those have also been shared with the police. 5. Ongoing INTIMIDATION. John Ford has shown up at my parent's home after being told not to go anywhere near them or their property. My elderly father has asked John directly to leave them alone. 6. ILLEGAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS. The address for this business is in the projects of South Boston according to the Boston Police Department. This causes additional concern as government housing (BHA) is not to be used for business operations. I do not want anyone else to be treated poorly or tricked into doing business with John Ford, Miguel Reascos (owner), and Mass Masonry & Stone. NOTE: I originally wrote this review in June 2019. I was contacted by Mass Masonry & Stone and asked to take the review down, and they asked to be given an opportunity to fix the issues. Mass Masonry & Stone also offered financial compensation to my parents (my parents nor I asked for this). I agreed and then they started playing games. After weeks of dealing with their nonsense, and after giving them many chances to correct their wrongdoing, I have no choice other than to expose them. I have voicemail messages and hundreds (HUNDREDS!!) of text messages

I was looking for some work to be done on my property. I call John and came out the same day and give me a quote.

I reached out to these guys with yelp, in order to get a quote for my condo building. They were the first out to get us a quote and were also quick to get it to us, which is very rare! The price was very fair, too. They were able to start work almost immediately, which again is very rare. They finished the hard concrete work in repairing the facade and the stairs in less than 2 days, which is a big deal because you need to use stairs. We also ran into an issue where the color didn't match the neighbor's stoop, which had me worried because I've had negative experiences in the past. With MASS masonry, this was no issue and they came back and knocked it out of the park! If you have any masonry repairs, and need an honest contractor (honest is rare in Boston!) call these guys!

I met John after checking out a job he was doing in the neighborhood that looked great. I asked him to come by and take a look at my stairs. The problem, the stairs were uneven, and the top step was much higher than the rest. John and I talked about the project, he had me pick out the type of stone I wanted, we worked out a fair price, and John told me it would take three days. I was very impressed with the skill and speed in which his team worked. In three short days they rebuilt the steps and you can see how beautiful they look. Before they could get the rails up my neighbors were impressed and I had a couple of people stop and asked who did the work. I am very happy with the way the whole project went and the beautiful results. I plan to have them come and complete the facing next year.
