Looking for emergency masonry repair in Cambridge, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Cambridge and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Cambridge is dense with 19th-century brick that was built with lime mortar. We match historic joints instead of forcing hard modern mixes onto old walls.

Housing in Cambridge includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and New England's 60–100 freeze-thaw cycles a winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our emergency masonry repair work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. When a chimney loses bricks in a nor'easter, a car hits a wall, or a stoop collapses, you need it made safe fast. We secure hazards, tarp and brace damaged masonry, and schedule permanent repairs — with photos for your insurance claim.

Response time in Cambridge: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $400 – $8,000
