Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience with Andrew and his team at First Choice Masonry. Even…read moremore infuriating than the incredibly sloppy paint job (the attached photos speak for themselves) was the awful communication and customer service. We showed Andrew and his team areas that we were not satisfied with and he assured me they would all be taken care of- he then proceeded to come back one quick time where he just poured acid on some of the stone and said it can't be fixed (he ignored all other fixes that needed to be done). He assured me that he would bring a team back to do cleanup (I was concerned at the paint chips all over our front and back porch- especially due to children living at the home)- he said he would call, never did, snd then stopped answering when we called to check in. At one point when I expressed my frustration, he said "you got this job done for $4000, what did you expect?" That price tag was high to me and seriously they did more damage than fixes. Fair warning not to go near this company- we wish we never did.

I found Mark to be honest and up front, trustworthy and easy to work with…read more I had a car drive into the front of my house and it required carpentry and masonery work. Mark was the general contractor and He and his crew did all the carpentry work. He hired the masonery company and followed up with all the work that they did keeping me in the loop with all that was being done. I am very happy with the finished work He did. I highly recommend his company. My address is Milton, Mass not Calf, Don't know what happen there

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!
