Dicks Masonry and Roofing | Masonry/Concrete & Roofing in Boston, MA 02109

For Boston's damp climate, we start by assessing your roof's ventilation system to ensure proper airflow, which is crucial for preventing moisture buildup and ice dams. To combat moss, we perform a professional cleaning and may apply zinc or copper strip treatments along the ridge line as a long-term inhibitor. If moss growth has caused damage to shingles or underlying decking, we provide precise repairs or replacement sections to restore integrity and prevent rot, always using materials suited to our local weather.

Absolutely. As a full-service masonry and foundation contractor, we manage the entire project from the ground up. For a patio or retaining wall, we first ensure the base and footing are properly constructed for stability, especially given Boston's freeze-thaw cycles. Then, our masons handle the installation of the stone, brick, or concrete surfaces. This integrated approach ensures structural soundness and a seamless, durable finish, all coordinated by our single team.

They very often are. Ineffective gutters and downspouts can dump water directly next to your foundation, leading to soil erosion, hydrostatic pressure, and cracking. Our process typically involves inspecting both systems together. We repair or replace your gutter system to properly channel water away from the house, then assess and address any resulting foundation damage. Solving the water management issue is key to a lasting foundation repair.
