We have an antique home in Wakefield, and when the front porch needed fixing, we realized the front steps and walk also needed replacing. Greg was recommended to us by Willy at Willow Tree, and we were pleased and totally unsurprised to report it was an excellent recommendation. Greg was very helpful and totally understanding of our desire to use authentic materials in making repairs and changes to the home. We used granite slab and cobbles, and Boston City Hall brick pavers. Greg and his crew are prompt, meticulous and courteous, and the job was done on time and on budget. Our huge neurotic dog loves him, and that's more of an endorsement than I can adequately express in an on-line review. We couldn't be more pleased and have a list of future projects for him once we save up some more money. Just waiting for the carpenter to finish the back deck and start on the front porch to complete the work, but we recommend him without reservation. It's such a pleasure to find a skilled craftsman you know you'll work with for years to come. And with a 200 year old house, there's always work! I'll update the photos once everything is complete! Thanks Greg, for transforming or walkway and making our stairs gorgeous, level, and safe! P.S. Huge neurotic dog photo also included for your viewing pleasure. read more

Greg took care of my crumbling brick steps and horrible walkway on our newly purchased home in Wakefield. He did an amazing job from start to finish. First, his estimate was right in the middle of my many other estimates and he had the best vision as far as what to use, and how to make it pop. He wanted to make the path and steps a foot wider then everyone else for the same price. He was prompt in showing me pics of what he thought I wanted and brought a book and samples over right away. His insight made us so happy at the end and I would have been upset if I had gone narrower like other's suggested. He really cared about making it look the best. After the job started within a few weeks, it took one day to tear out the old steps and he uncovered a huge problem with carpenter ant damage. Greg was great in communicating the damage to me and flexible in allowing me a few days to have my carpenter take care of the problem, instead of just covering it up like he could have. He came back when the problem was fixed and it took a day to dig the path and pour a proper concrete foundation, which was missing and the reason the old steps crumbled in the first place. From there it took another day to build the steps, a day for the path and a day to clean the site up and add finishing touches. His crew arrived right on time and stayed late to finish the job daily. They were very clean and even helped me save some of the old stone and offered to move it to the place I wanted it on the property, which could not have been easy. My wife and I gutted our entire property and used several contractors and he was probably the best one we came across. We will be calling him again when our retaining wall goes in. Thanks Greg! read more

The MFAL Masonry team was prompt, courteous, hard-working and left the work site clean and safe at the end of every day. They did not consider the job to be finished until we were totally satisfied with their work. We are very happy to give MFAL Masonry the highest recommendation for any masonry job. They will do a fantastic job! John And Suzanne Danis read more

We used Greg five years ago on our front stairs; he was recommended by our neighbor. He did a great job so when it was time for a new patio and outdoor fireplace we got a quote from him - and others. His price was marginally below the others and having experience with him made it an easy decision. They showed up every day and stayed until it was completed. It came out awesome and we could not be happier. Two neighbors have already chased Greg down for work it came out so wonderful. If I was computer savvy enough I would have included pictures. Price was exactly what was quoted even with a few little extras I requested. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

This fall, we chose Greg and his team to rebuild our front stairs and repair our retaining walls. After meeting with Greg, there was no doubt that we would choose M-Fal Masonry to do the job. Greg was personable, made great suggestions, and was considerate of our wants and needs when discussing the project. His proposal was well-written and thorough. He was available for communication and responded to our emails promptly. Throughout the project, Greg made recommendations and adjustments as needed so that he could do the best job possible. He went out of his way to make sure the stone he planned on using was a good match to what we already had and that it was to our liking. It was clear that Greg and his masons cared about the job they were doing. The guys were here bright and early, six days a week until the job was completed. When they were not 100% satisfied with proposed repair of cracks in the cap of our retaining wall, they replaced the whole cap instead at no extra charge. They worked with care and were clearly invested in getting things done right. When the masonry was finished, they cleaned up well, laying down sod and providing grass seed to fix lawn areas that were impacted. The rebuilt stairs and repaired walls turned out beautifully, and I think Greg would have accepted no less! He stands behind his work and his reputation and cares that the customer is satisfied. I highly recommend Greg and his team at M-Fal Masonry. You will get your money's worth and won't be disappointed. Marianne and Wayne H. read more
