Stay away from these people. Our apartment complex has been without front stairs for nearly six…read moremonths now, because Fenton decided to work on the project part-time throughout the late summer and fall (many days and weeks went by with no progress at all). Finally finish it in November (more than three months late), and oh, by the way, turns out they chose to not order the railing for the stairs until after they were completed! And Brookline won't give a cert of occupancy without a railing. So, here we sit, nearly a month later, still with no railing, and thus no stairs. We've been reduced to creeping through side alleyways (many of which, by the way, have no railings), and there is seemingly no end in sight, even as we start seeing ice and snow on the ground. It's a pity, because they do good work (the stairs are lovely), and their workmen seem very professional, but their project management is beyond shoddy. I was not involved in the decision to hire these people, but I certainly would stay away from them (and recommend that others do so as well) in the future.

I highly recommend W.R. Walton Contracting, Billerica, for driveway replacement…read more It removed my deteriorating 130 ft asphalt driveway and replaced it with a properly-leveled and thoroughly deep & compacted base, topped with new asphalt, in one day. What I liked: the personal visit by sales; a clear explanation of work to be performed; a timely & detailed quote; and frequent communications in scheduling a convenient project date. Plus, on the day of project work, its Team arrived timely; its team leader introduced himself and confirmed the expected procedures; followed by diligent progress with very synchronized efforts by every team member. At completion, the quality was high, in my opinion. After old asphalt was removed, painstaking and lengthy efforts were taken to re-level, properly slope (for drainage) and firmly compress the underlying base. It was impressive to observe. The Team also completed a thorough cleanup (and no abutting plants, lawn or sidewalks had been disturbed.) Lastly, W.R. Walton's owner visited twice; once mid-morning and then at completion. I much appreciated his attention to detail and the owner's standard of high quality work that his team delivered. What I did not like: nothing. In my vernacular: "damn, they were good." Ken S.

I have used Walton for two residential paving jobs in Newton, MA and had a great experience with…read morethem both times. Walton's bid for my latest driveway project, which involved using my architect's plans to widen my driveway, was competitive with the other bids I obtained. I needed to push out the start date of their work due to my contractor not being done yet with renovations, and they were fine with that. They honored their price from the season prior. When spring came, I got a call about a week prior for scheduling and they arrived when they said they would and did the work quickly and professionally. Once the project was over I did have to reach back out to them to be sure the permit was closed but they worked very quickly and had my permit closed within a week, giving me an email confirmation afterwards. I'm very happy with my driveway and the service and support provided.

I hired A1 Masonry & Construction to do some foundation work on my property in Boston last…read moreNovember, and unfortunately I was not happy with the experience. The price ended up being much higher than I expected, and I honestly feel like I was overcharged for the work. There were also issues with communication throughout the job, and I felt like some of the costs were not made clear to me upfront. Once the work was underway, the price seemed to keep going up, which was very frustrating. I understand that construction work can come with unexpected issues, but I expected much better communication and transparency, especially considering how much I ended up paying. I would recommend getting everything in writing and getting a few estimates from other contractors before moving forward. I personally would not use A1 Masonry & Construction again. Further note : I was a bit concerned about posting this feedback because of the way I was spoken to on the phone, when I was finally able to make contact.

I would absolutely recommend Atlantic Masonry to anyone considering a patio or masonry project.

The same thing happened. Zine decided to return the third time and replace the problematic sections that were separating from the foundation. It is now the middle of October and I continue to have the same issue. He said he'll return and has not yet. He has suggested that I need to paint | seal the stucco. I want to do that but first need to know that it does not separate from the foundation so I don't waste my effort. Update on Oct 24. Zine came out to meet with me today. I now understand we had a miscommunication. He said he is a man of his word and I believe him. I will post photos of the new work and results. It might be in the Spring since the weather is getting too cold for stucco work.
