Masonry & Paving
Services
We work with all masonry and paving materials — brick, natural stone, concrete, pavers, and granite — on residential and commercial properties in Arlington. Arlington's housing is predominantly early 20th century — Colonials, Craftsman bungalows, two-families, and triple-deckers throughout Arlington Center, East Arlington, and Arlington Heights. These older properties are prime candidates for plaster restoration, kitchen and bathroom renovation, insulation upgrades, and exterior work. Proper base preparation, correct mortar mix, and good drainage are what separate masonry that lasts 30 years from work that cracks after the first freeze. Arlington is 6 miles northwest of Boston, directly adjacent to Cambridge and Lexington, easily accessible and a core part of our Middlesex County service footprint.

Why does masonry crack in Arlington MA and how do you prevent it?
Boston's freeze-thaw cycle is the main culprit — water enters poorly-mixed joints, freezes, and forces apart brick and stone. We build every Arlington masonry project — including homes near Arlington Center, East Arlington, Arlington Heights, Spy Pond, Minuteman Bikeway, Capitol Square — with proper mortar mix, joint depth, and drainage to prevent this.
