Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise professional, detail-focused work and clear communication. The accounts include a chimney repair with a rebuilt section, a new cap and spot tuckpointing, and a brick-veneer replacement that one homeowner says matched the existing wall; a separate customer appreciated a prompt estimate and detailed answers about scope.

William Margolin

Luke and his crew did an outstanding job re-plastering and painting my chimney. They were very professional and paid attention to detail. Additionally, they were incredibly communicative to all aspects of the project. I highly recommend North Shore Masonry!!

Northshore Masonry recently completed a chimney repair for me at the end of May 2026, and I was very pleased with their work. They were prompt in coming out to provide an estimate and took the time to address all of my questions and concerns about the scope of work. Their pricing was reasonable and fair compared to other quotes I received. They rebuilt 7 courses, poured a new cap and spot tuckpointed where needed. The job was completed professionally, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any future repairs.

Emily Thrun

North Shore did an amazing job replacing an entire wall of brick veneer that was degrading on the side of my house. The new brick seamlessly matches with the existing brick and you can tell that a high level attention to detail was used to complete the job. There were a few hick-ups along the way but project manager Luke and crew lead Roman went above and beyond to make certain I was informed throughout the process and that I received the best value for the work that was done and they even threw in a few extras. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again if I need other masonry work done to my house in the future.

Miguel and Arturo from North Shore Masonry did an exceptional job replacing my glass block window in my bathroom. My house is 70 years old and they were able to match the brick color perfectly. I'm so impressed with the guys and the company. I'll recommend them to anyone who needs masonry work done.

Richard Moy

Contacted North Shore Brickwork and I was exceptional please with their work. The job performed had far exceeded my expectations. The project manager, Luke Bergman arrived promptly and explained what needed to be accomplished and provided a detailed explanation as well. The crew was neat and most satisfying was the work. I normally don’t provide reviews, but in this case, they deserve the recognition for excellence in the quality of service. This is a top notch company. I will definitely call them for future projects if needed. Attached are the before and after pictures of the work performed.
