Masonry contractors in Southwood
Post-war housing where we handle everything from basement waterproofing to full patio builds.
Southwood is post-war housing, most of it on block foundations — and block behaves differently from poured concrete once water gets at it. Damp basements are common here, and more often than not the cause is drainage and grading rather than a single identifiable crack.
We work through the water path in order — downspouts, grade, window wells, then tile — before quoting anything, because on these houses the cheapest fix genuinely does solve it a fair share of the time. Where it does not, exterior excavation is the permanent answer and we will say so plainly.
What we are usually called for in Southwood
- Basement waterproofing and weeping tile replacement
- Block foundation repair, reinforcement and parging
- Patios, walkways and step rebuilds

Reviews
Cambridge homeowners, in their own words
Every review below is from a real job in a real neighbourhood — most within ten minutes of each other.
“They installed a stone fireplace for us and the quality of the work was outstanding. The price was fair and they finished when they said they would. We have had three neighbours ask who did it.”
“The stone walkway was applied so evenly. You can tell the difference between someone who does this properly and someone who just lays stone. Excellent workmanship.”
“Very satisfied with the brick restoration. They matched our original brick better than I thought was possible and cleaned up the site every single day.”
“Detail oriented from start to finish. They repointed the front elevation and rebuilt the chimney, and left the job site cleaner than they found it.”
“Quality work, done right. Our front steps and porch have never looked better. Highly recommend to anyone in Cambridge.”
