Boston Masonry & Construction did a fantastic job tuckpointing my old bungalow. They were quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and finished the work on time and on budget. The brickwork looks amazing, and I'm confident it will last for years to come. Highly recommend!

Why Choose Us For Your Brick Restoration?
Our experienced masons specialize in a variety of services to address all your brick, stone, and concrete needs:
Tuckpointing & Repointing: We differentiate between these two services to ensure you receive the right solution. Repointing restores the structural integrity of your walls by replacing damaged mortar. Tuckpointing offers a more refined finish by applying a thin layer of colored mortar for a refreshed aesthetic, though it may not significantly improve structural integrity.
Brick Restoration: Harsh winters and time can take a toll on brickwork. We offer a complete restoration service, including repointing, replacing damaged bricks, resetting displaced bricks, and rebuilding chimneys and walls.
Stone and Concrete Repair: We can repair cracks, spalling, and other damage to stone and concrete surfaces, ensuring the longevity and stability of your building's exterior.
Lintel Repair & Replacement: Lintels support the weight above windows and doors. We can repair damaged lintels or replace them entirely to ensure structural integrity.
Chemical Cleaning: Over time, brick and stone can accumulate dirt, grime, and efflorescence (mineral deposits). We use safe and effective cleaning methods to restore their natural beauty.
New Construction Masonry: Our team is skilled in laying foundations, framing, and installing brick, stone, and concrete veneers.
