Brick Walls, Pillars & Columns in South Boston, Boston, MA
Looking for brick walls, pillars & columns in South Boston in Boston, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Boston and the rest of Suffolk County from our Boston base. From Back Bay brownstones to triple-deckers in Dorchester, Boston masonry is old, soft-brick work that needs the right mortar and a careful hand.
Housing in South Boston in Boston includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our brick walls, pillars & columns work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. A brick pier at the end of a driveway or a garden wall along the sidewalk is often the first masonry people see. We build and rebuild freestanding walls, pillars, and columns on proper frost-depth footings with caps that shed water.
Response time in Boston: Same-day estimates, most weeks · Typical range $1,200 – $15,000

Why is my brick pillar leaning?
Usually the footing is too shallow and frost has heaved it, or a vehicle has hit it. Leaning pillars normally need rebuilding on a proper footing.

Most Massachusetts communities require footings to extend below frost depth, typically 48 inches. We confirm local requirements before building.
