Unusual these days! So delighted! I recommend him and his company.

We had a major electrical update that was an initial hindrance to getting the job underway and Randolfo's handling of this was professional and kept us moving ahead. I had several ideas that Randolfo didn't think would work well and I appreciated his input and took his advice. A job well done! Thank you Randolfo and Paul and your team! Gail H.

Chris did a fine job redoing a brick walkway that was mired by dips, broken curbing and an…read moreunsecured border. I would not have believed what a difference it made! All the bricks were pulled up and the highest standards used to reset and set brick. A cement curbing under the brick not only secured brick but provided a means for directing run off water. The brick was also power washed. (Unfortunately, other remodeling elsewhere created dust and dirt on brick afterwards but that will be hosed off.)

They nearly burned down my house! I hired them to install a fireplace in my house. They placed the…read morefire box straight against the beams of the house. Only discovered it when I had a fire and saw smoke coming from outside the fireplace. When a different contractor took out the fireplace, the beams in the walls were scotched and blackened. It's a wooden house, and I had my whole family inside the house that night. They always cemented the chimney cap to the top of the chimney so it could be cleaned.

AVOID MASS MASONRY & STONE AT ALL COSTS!!!!…read more 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 from both John and Miguel which I will not share here due to the graphic nature of some of the content. What I will share is that Miguel Reascos of South Boston, MA and John Ford of Dorchester, MA have THREATENED ME. I have taken the appropriate steps to protect myself, my family, and our properties (surveillance, etc.). I will continue to address this matter through formal and proper channels. To anyone who is considering Mass Masonry & Stone, please protect yourselves. The work quality is terrible, the business practices are fraudulent. If you complain, they will threaten you and show up at your home to enforce their intimidation tactics. If any harm is caused to me, my family, or our properties, then Miguel (owner) and John Ford (manager) of Mass Stone Masonry should be considered persons of interest and the likely culprits.

I reached out to these guys with yelp, in order to get a quote for my condo building. They were the…read morefirst 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 initially hired them to clean my gutters and while he was at my house, he noticed my deck needed…read morework and he said he could do the job. I was in the middle of gathering quotes to re-do my deck, and their quote was the lowest. We were extremely disappointed with the work. It does not look good at all and our friends and family constantly criticize it for poor craftsmanship. Main Issues -Boards are extremely uneven. Some are so close together that water does not drain and it warps the boards. Some were extremely far apart and we had them come back to fix the boards. Very uncomfortable walking barefoot because of the poor craftsmanship. -Terrible paint work. He did not paint the boards through and there's missing paint throughout the deck. They only did one coat and it's already chipping off after one year. They painted on a day with a rain forecast and it poured within 6 hours of them painting the deck. They should have done it on another day, since paint should have at least a day to dry. -They didn't do any paint prep, so they sprayed white paint all over our house, pool pump, and the gas meter. -Nails and screws are sticking out and it's extremely unsafe. They did not put wood fillers over holes even though we requested it, and the pictures speak for themselves. -They ran out of screws and began using nails on my deck to hold down the boards, which is not sustainable and will need to be replaced. We live less than 5 minutes from Home Depot. Lack of attention to detail and consideration for doing the job right. -He did not remove any of the old wooden boards that he replaced even though he said he was going to do that and it was listed in the quote. We were extremely unsatisfied with the work and requested John to come back. It took over a month for him to come back and fix up the deck. He was clearly in a rush and did a very poor job fixing the errors associated with the deck. We brought up 8+ issues and he only addressed a couple of them. The biggest eyesore is the holes from the screws. I purchased wood filler and he said he would fill in holes, sand, and paint over them. He never did. He knew he did a poor job and he left without doing a final walkthrough the second time around. He also didn't seal any of the paint cans before he left. Very unhappy with the deck and it will cost thousands for us to fix it.

I would highly recommend RJT Carpentry and Tile for your kitchen and bathroom renovations. I…read morerecently had Ryaan and team gut renovate my kitchen as well as do a more minor renovation in my bathroom. I must say that I was impressed with the designer with whom they work, Anna Orfanides. I told her what style I was looking for, and Anna knocked it out of the park. It's simply stunning, and everyone who has seen my kitchen is impressed. While it was merely a galley kitchen in a Brookline condo, Anna envisioned a design that made it much more functional, timeless, and chic. Hilary Farr would be impressed. Ryaan and team are highly detail oriented. There was one incident where there was a problem with some of the lighting materials. While some contractors would have taken a shortcut and simply have installed the lighting as is, Ryaan and his electrician Chris, who was a perfectionist, made sure that the vendor was held accountable, and they refused to install the product until the issue was resolved with the manufacturer. It should also be noted that Ryaan and team are in constant communication from the project inception until the very end. Kristina, the project manager, is unbelievably responsive. You really can get in touch with her around the clock. The workmanship is impeccable, and it's the first project I've done with a nonexistent punch list. Ryaan took care of small details before I even mentioned them. Finally, I want to add that they are just nice people. I really do think animals are the best judges of character. My dog is a Lhasa Apso, and there are some people he just doesn't like. I was worried that there would be lots of barking and growling throughout the project. However, that was not the case. My dog took a liking to the project team from the beginning. There was no barking and growling. If he can trust them, so can I. It was a wonderful experience, and they really have earned five stars. Thank you!!

We were very impressed with Ryaan and his team. They were very prompt with their communications,…read morearrived on time and completed their work in a timely, efficient manner. They talked us through the entire process so we'd understand the carpentry work that would be completed. We've worked with a lot of contractors for various home improvement projects and RJT is by far the best we've ever worked with. We received multiple quotes that seemed outrageously high and RJT gave the best value. Thank you Ryaan for being so accommodating and creating beautiful built-in shelves.
