Patrick did an impeccable job on our 1908 basement (crumbling stone foundation & semi-finished floor). We picked him from two other competitive bids. He came in on schedule, and on budget. The job entailed prepping and parging the walls, floor demo & prep for laying radiant heat, pouring a new slab (which involved ensuring the cement recipe was right for polishing). He came back in when we asked if he could do some finishing work on the seams between the walls and floor. His team is efficient, they clean up, and the whole crew -- esp Patrick -- is craft proud, which is rare these days. He was communicative from start to finish (with us, and with the other contractors) and professional at all times. He's a gem, and you'll be lucky to work with him. Before and after pics below.
Fantastic work on an old building with hard to source bricks! If you didn’t know work was done, you probably wouldn’t even notice the changes! Feels remarkable for the exterior of a building that is so old! Patrick sourced the right bricks, cut them down to size (smaller bricks used back then), and did a great installation!
Patrick and his team are fantastic...professional, reliable, and communicative. I first engaged with Patrick for a basement project in 2022. Although it didn't work out, Patrick left such a strong, positive impression on me that I reached out to him again in 2025 for a 3-part project for our triple decker condo - 1) repoint decrepit chimneys, 2) rebuild front steps, and 3) repoint the garage roof and walls. The chimneys are much better shape now and no longer pose a safety hazard. The front stairs look amazing and get a lot of compliments. Patrick couldn't complete the second chimney at the end of 2025 due to the incoming winter, and were very open about that. We were able to reschedule to the summer of 2026. Overall, they are dependable, are fair and transparent about the pricing, take pride in their work, and are great at customer communication. I'd certainly enlist Patrick's help again on future masonry projects.
We recently bought a 100 year old brick house in Needham and the brickwork was in bad shape. Patrick and his crew repointed the house and replaced 4 lintels. I had other companies come over to give me estimates and Patrick was the only one who honestly told me which lintels needed to be replaced and which still had life left in them. Other companies tried to get me to replace most of them, which is extremely expensive. It is clear that Patrick knows a lot about masonry. Patrick and his crew did a great job, they were always on time, keep the work area tidy, and Patrick is a very good communicator. My husband can be a bit of a perfectionist and Patrick was very patient and willing to make sure we loved every detail. MRW also repaired some of our old stone walls (which was a last minute add-on) and did it in a timely manner. Overall, we are very happy with MRW. Patrick is skilled, fair, responsible, professional and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with him again in the future!
I am extremely satisfied with Patrick and his crew. I had a bad leaking problem in my basement and from our first call to when the job was done it has been a smooth journey.
Patrick came after a couple of days to check the magnitude of the job, we discussed the estimate and agreed to it. After a week his crew came early in the morning and by 1400 the job was done. It rained a lot the same evening and not a drop of water was getting through the basement.
I dealt with quite a lot of trade folks for different jobs, and I only have 2 numbers saved in my contacts. Patrick is one of them. I can reference Patrick to anyone who needs Masonry services.
Thank you Patrick!
We hired MRW Contractors to do some repointing work for our Condo Building, the exterior is all brick. After meeting with a variety of masons and roofers, I couldn’t have been more pleased to meet Patrick. He came recommended by a friend.
From the start, Patrick was incredibly professional—he met with me promptly after our request and took plenty of time to thoroughly assess both the interior and exterior of the building.
We hired him specifically for brick repointing to help mitigate random leaking that had been occurring in multiple areas of the building. With brick it is very challenging to know how the water is getting in, repointing suspicious areas would have to be trial
and error. Patrick gave me confidence he would really try to find the root of the problem in each area.
While we did have to wait about 6–8 weeks to get on his schedule, the timing worked out perfectly for us. His pricing seemed honest and he helped us save a good deal of money (as compared to other bids) by getting us a boom lift vs paying to rent scaffolding.
Overall, Patrick delivered excellent service, was easy to work with, and helped us make thoughtful, informed decisions. We highly recommend him for any masonry needs
