The crew was very efficient and clean and the work turned out very neat and solid. I had several questions throughout the job and the team was very communicative and responsive. I highly recommend them to anyone!
Good help can be hard to find, unless you find a company like North Shore Masonry. My home had some structural problems beyond tuckpointing. North Shore's efficient crew secured the entire front façade and kept a detailed photo log of all work done. The house is now watertight again, no fears of driving rain! What a relief.

We were very happy with our service from North Shore Masonry. They rebuilt a wall with the existing bricks. They also tuck pointed the bricks around the exterior of our home. They left the area spotless. Would definitely recommend them.
I had three companies come to give me a quote. Les (the owner of North Shore) was by far the most thorough and professional. The work was started on time (!!) and finished on time. Really great work, and kind workers. Thank you!!
From start to finish the scheduling, options, workmanship, flexibility, and communication were top notch. I’d recommend this company and will use them again if the opportunity arises
We used them to repair our cracked limestone front steps. They reinforced everything structurally so it feels completely solid now, and fixed the cosmetic cracks. It looks great and feels a lot safer to walk on. Solid work from a good crew.

I’d highly recommend North Shore Masonry to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price. Their crew was professional, hardworking, and respectful throughout the entire project. They arrived on time, kept the work area clean, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of the workmanship exceeded my expectations, and I truly felt I received excellent value for the cost. There were no surprises, no hidden fees, and the entire process was handled with honesty and professionalism. It’s refreshing to work with a company that takes pride in both their craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.
I couldn’t be happier with the work North Shore Masonry did on my chimney. It looks fantastic, and the difference is truly amazing. The crew was friendly, professional, and worked hard from start to finish. Thank you for making the whole process so easy and for delivering such great quality at a fair price. I truly appreciate the excellent work and highly recommend them!
