Kingston Paving and Masonry | Masonry/Concrete & Roofing in Wellesley, MA 02481

In our Wellesley climate, the persistent humidity and shade from mature trees create ideal conditions for dark roof algae stains (often called Gloeocapsa magma). These are more than just cosmetic; they can degrade roofing materials over time. Our approach starts with a professional roof cleaning to safely remove the growth. More importantly, we assess and correct underlying issues like poor ventilation or inadequate sunlight exposure, which are frequent contributors in our area. For lasting protection, we can discuss installing algae-resistant shingles or applying preventative treatments during your next roof replacement or repair.

Our warranty reflects our confidence in using quality materials and proper installation techniques suited for Massachusetts weather. For a new stone or concrete patio, driveway, or walkway, the warranty covers structural integrity against issues like settling, cracking due to frost heave, or failure of the base materials. It does not cover normal wear and tear or damage from external forces like de-icing salts or heavy equipment. We provide all warranty details in writing before any work begins, so you know exactly what’s protected. Our long-standing local presence means we’ll be here to honor it.

Absolutely. As a full-service masonry company, we address both sides of the wall. For a foundation, this often means a combined approach. Exterior repairs might involve excavating to apply waterproofing coatings or repairing cracks from the outside to prevent water ingress. Interior repairs could include installing a drainage system and sump pump or sealing cracks from within the basement. We diagnose the source of the problem—whether it’s hydrostatic pressure, poor drainage, or a structural issue—and provide a solution that fixes it inside and out, often integrating our waterproofing services for a complete, lasting repair.
