I would suggest those of you who got screwed by them do the same. I live in Watertown, MA. They were walking around the neighborhood, soliciting business, which I found out later from the city that was not legal. They gave me a quote. Now I realize the estimate was outrageous. I told them they must secure a permit before they start the work. They showed up on a day that I wasn't home, with no notice and started the work with no permit. The city building inspector drove by on the second day, and shut them down. A month goes by and my porch is on temporary support pillars. They still had not applied for the permit, but they were happy to cash my deposit. They made all kinds of promises, including when I canceled the contract that the check was in the mail. It's now in the hands of the Attorney General and I hope to get my money back that way. I hope the attorney general can also file criminal charges.

When I first hired them to do work for me they had no reviews. I trusted them because of the way…read moreMichael spoke to me and made me feel like they could be trusted. My initial review was 5 stars because my wife insisted and was very happy with the outcome, but I was hesitant for various reasons from having to deal with them. I am going to point them out now so you can understand what its like to work with them and also what their after work support is like so you know (which is also the reason for the updated review). After having the initial contact quote with Michael I though we would have them do the job but I wanted to discuss some more details so he sent his father over (Tom). After ironing out see details I said it sounds good and he should bring a contract over to discuss the work. This was in February when snow was very much likely to come and for this reason I would drive through my driveway to park in the garage for the cold and the snow. The next day I come back from work and their are 2 men tearing up my driveway with sledgehammers and making it so now I wont be able to park in my garage. I call Tom up to complain that first of all he started the work before we even had a signed contract and second because I needed my garage and temperatures would often drop to below freezing where its not recommended to lay asphalt so there was no plan to fix the driveway so I would be left without an entrance to my garage. This felt like his attempt to ensure I cant hire anyone else since he had already "started" the work. After my complaining they laid some sand so Id be able to drive into the garage, but due to the cold weather, the driveway project took very long and the whole time I was worried it would snow and it would be difficult to clear the snow with the snow blower over half asphalt and half dirt. In the meantime they started working on the driveway and that project took forever because again their were delays due to the cold weather and the snow. Sometimes they wouldnt even show up to work on it when the weather was good because it was obvious they were out destroying other driveways to ensure more people would have to work with them. I mean they already had my work..so why finish it and not get more clients. I would call and complain when a couple of weeks with good days would go by and no one would come work on the patio and then one day out of the blue, Tom goes there while I am at work and needs to clear the patio with Water so they could apply the polymeric sand and my water is turned off due to the cold and due to the fact that he didnt tell me he was coming so he asked my neighbor if he could use their water (without even calling me to tell me about this). I go home and find out about this from my neighbor who said they told them their faucet was having leak issues and it wouldnt be a good idea but he looked at it and said he could fix it and it would only be 5 minutes. He wrapped the leaky portion with some duct tape and proceeded to use the water for over an hour. Then I had the neighbors upset with this because of him. Fortunately they werent mad at me, but not talking to me about any of this before was unacceptable behavior. Then again lots of time went by when they wouldnt come to finish the job which only needed was for them to apply the polymeric sand and then hose the area down. When they finally did come back, Michael had the nerve to tell me that they had done this but due to the bad weather the sand didnt stay. They had not done it as it was clear from the work that the job was unfinished (and I have cameras that look at those areas and when they did work I would review the footage to see what they did..also, Tom would be extremely pushy about the money even though when they want you to sign they state they wont take any money till they are finished with the job and you are satisfied, but this is not true as Tom will constantly badger you for some money to "pay his workers". But despite all this when the work was done, everything did look good, my wife was happy with the results and before finishing the job, Michael would always respond on yelp or via text within the hour and my wife wanted me to leave a 5 star review so I went along with that. But fast forward to now, and there are portions of the asphalt tearing away and at least 3 areas that look like holes are being made somehow. the photos may not be clear but what looks like wet spots is actually portions that the asphalt is tearing away. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2kTPmNaHPVmhLEod9 That along with my neighbor showing sent me pictures of a flower breaking through the asphalt right in the middle of her driveway and then coming here to yelp to message Michael and reading another review of a bad driveway and the not getting back to the person, made me very frustrated with their work. I hope this review helps others!

Every…read moreyear we've ordered mulch from them because they've always been reliable, provided excellent customer service, and delivered quickly and seamlessly. Until this year, we had nothing but positive things to say. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was completely unacceptable and has left us extremely disappointed. When we called to order mulch, we were told the credit card machine was down, so we couldn't pay over the phone. We were informed that paying the driver upon delivery was an option. We were also told the mulch would be delivered the following afternoon and that the driver would call before arriving. I stayed home all day waiting for the delivery. At 4:20 p.m., I had to leave briefly to pick up my child from daycare for a 4:30 pickup. Shortly after, I received a call from Nelson Landscape stating the mulch had already been delivered. The employee who called was rude, disrespectful, and immediately demanded payment. They insisted I had been told delivery would occur between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., which was never communicated to me. Had I been given that information, I would have made other arrangements. When I asked if I could provide my credit card over the phone, I was told no one was in the office to take payment. I then asked if I could simply call back the next day to pay by credit card. Instead of receiving a reasonable response, the employee said, "Whatever, I don't have time to deal with this," and hung up on me. After years of being a consistent, reliable customer, this level of customer service was shocking. The interaction was disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. We understand that mistakes and miscommunications happen, but there is never an excuse for treating loyal customers this way. Given the way I was spoken to and the complete lack of professionalism shown during this interaction, we can no longer support this company. It's incredibly disappointing that after years of loyalty, one employee's disrespectful behavior has completely changed our opinion of a business we once trusted and happily recommended.

MASS Masonry and Stone

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.

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!
