Expert Masonry & Construction | Masonry/Concrete & Roofing in Boston, MA 02201

In Boston, water leaks often stem from cracked mortar or compromised flashing due to freeze-thaw cycles. Our repair process starts with a thorough inspection to find the entry point. We then perform tuck pointing to replace damaged mortar and may repair or replace the flashing. For basement or foundation walls, we address both the interior symptom and exterior cause to prevent recurring moisture and potential structural damage, a common concern with our local climate.

Absolutely. A lasting patio here requires proper base preparation and materials that handle ground freeze. We excavate to a sufficient depth, install a compacted gravel base for drainage, and use durable materials like concrete or certain pavers. We ensure proper slope away from your home to prevent water pooling and ice damage. This method, combined with quality construction, creates a patio built for New England's seasons.

Roof deck rot in Boston often starts from trapped moisture due to poor attic ventilation or old insulation. When we encounter this during related exterior work, like chimney repair or wall construction, we assess the affected decking. We remove and replace rotted wood to restore structural integrity before any new roofing or masonry is completed. Addressing the root cause, such as improving ventilation, is key to a lasting repair and preventing future issues.
