Masonry & Paving
Services
We work with all masonry and paving materials — brick, natural stone, concrete, pavers, and granite — on residential and commercial properties in Somerville. Somerville's housing stock is predominantly late Victorian and early 20th century — triple-deckers, two-families, and rowhouses throughout neighborhoods like Davis Square, Union Square, and Winter Hill. These older properties have original plaster walls, aging mechanical systems, and kitchens and bathrooms that are prime candidates for renovation. 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. Somerville borders Cambridge and sits just 4 miles northwest of Downtown Boston — one of our most active and accessible inner-suburb service communities.

Why does masonry crack in Somerville 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 Somerville masonry project — including homes near Davis Square, Union Square, Assembly Row, Winter Hill, Magoun Square, Ball Square, Teele Square, East Somerville — with proper mortar mix, joint depth, and drainage to prevent this.
