When I first discovered Justin Epstein Masonry, Justin was active with projects all over town…read more Clearly, he was a mason in demand. I checked out his work and pictures of his projects on justinepsteinmasonry.com. And, that's where I read about his credentials - he's fully insured and has over 10 years of professional experience. So, I called him, and Justin responded quickly to meet with me and go over the details. I had a large, five-step stairway with a landing made of concrete blocks and I wanted it demolished and rebuilt with stone. I wanted granite, and even while our country was facing nationwide shortages, Justin was able to provide the exact stones we discussed. He even took the time to track down additional historic granite stones to add more character to the stairway - more than I thought was possible. His crew's craftsmanship is exceptional. And, I imagine those stairs will be around for 100 years or more, so it's worth it to hire the best. Justin is great to work with because he's smart, honest, and reliable. He is a master of his craft and a true professional. He was able to deliver a great-looking stairway. In fact, they look better than I expected. I highly recommend him and would hire him again.

We contacted Justin after the steps of our front walkway began to fall apart. We were familiar with…read moreJustin's company after seeing his signs around town, and we loved his plan for the project. Throughout the entire process, Justin was extremely responsive and his team was efficient and very detail oriented. Our new front steps and walkway look better than we could have imagined and the project was completed in a week. If we have any masonry work in the future, Justin will be our first call!

If I could've given 0 stars, I would've. I was trying 2 get estimates from 5 different masonry…read morepeople 4 a big job. 1). It took Forde Co OVER A WEEK just 2 answer an email. 2). Martin made an appt 4 a Fri afternoon & I was making a decision that wk, so I cancelled a different contractor (electrician), in order 2 move things along. 3). Fri came & went with NO CALL/TEXT/EMAIL WHATSOEVER. Maybe they're gd masonry workers, but their customer services suck bitime. DON'T BOTHER booking an appt w them. Keep looking until u find someone who appreciates that your time is as valuable as theirs. Part 2 - update Now I feel terrible about what I wrote. Life happens & I obviously slipped thru the cracks when your assistant tried 2 reach customers. It's not your fault cuz stuff like that is bound 2 happen. It ended up being me. Guess I was tired of interviewing potential masonry people. Your company had 5 stars & my hopes were up. Wishing your family only the best.

Hired Top Tier in November of 2023 to perform chimney and foundation work. Work was not performed…read moreas agreed to (chimney insert not installed although they stated it was done), skim coat of concrete and application of waterproofing over basement walls and floors to prevent water (concrete cracked within weeks, waterproofing ineffective or not applied at all), foundation work was shoddy and unprofessional (wood debris and concrete debris left in trench), etc. I have filed a police report and a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) complaint with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR). Overcharged for the work completed (tens of thousands of $). Top Tier walked off the job without finishing and threatened physical violence toward another contractor on-site. Advertising is false and misleading, photographs are borrowed from other companies and reviews appear to be fake. So many more issues but I would not give this company any positive recommendations. Apparently they operate under various business names so please be careful vetting any company you hire.

I selected Ben The Mason to repair / rebuild the fire brick inside a fireplace and chose him…read morebecause of his experience. Inside the fireplace, grout had all but disappeared on the back / angled wall and several fire bricks were loose. Timeline of events: Sent an email to Ben with pictures and a description of the problem on a Friday at 3:12 PM. He called me at 5:15 PM that evening asking if he could visit to see the job and offer me an estimate, he came by at 5:44 PM, and after reviewing and carefully describing the work needed to repair, he offered his proposal which I accepted. AND the VERY NEXT DAY, a SATURDAY mind you, he and his son arrived at 8:00 AM and the job was completed by 3:00 PM. So literally WITHIN 24 HOURS Ben The Mason had responded to my request, came by to see the job, offered a quote, and did the repairs. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I am very impressed with the service and craftsmanship provided by Ben The Mason. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We had an excellent experience with Atlantic Masonry installing our new patio in October. The team…read morewas knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire process. Zine is great and took the time to answer questions and clearly knew his craft. The final result came out even better than we expected! Despite the harsh winter we just had, the patio has held up beautifully and still looks great. We're looking forward to warmer weather so we can start using it regularly. I would absolutely recommend Atlantic Masonry to anyone considering a patio or masonry project.

It's now about 10 months since Zine came out to meet me. I reached out to him about 5-6 months ago…read moreabout when his company can do the job right. He said that he was dealing with a family tragedy. I understood that. Now it is months later and I haven't heard back. I'm cool if he took time but I have had to reach out to him every time to get his crew to come do the job right. I don't think I should be chasing him. I'd be OK if he gave me a date for work but he hasn't. I think I hired him Fall 2024. He started work in Spring 2025. I've posted some new photos of issues. I'm posting ones that are easy to see on camera. There are various places where tapping on the stucco returns a hollow knock. Frustrating.
