Patios & Walkways in Admirals Hill, Chelsea, MA
Looking for patios & walkways in Admirals Hill in Chelsea, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Chelsea and the rest of Suffolk County from our Boston base. Chelsea's older brick stock and harbor-side weather make repointing and chimney work the priority for most owners here.
Housing in Admirals Hill in Chelsea includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil is what wears this masonry down. That is why our patios & walkways work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. The difference between a patio that heaves and one that stays flat is entirely underneath it. We excavate deep, compact in lifts, and set stone with edge restraint so it survives winter.
Response time in Chelsea: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $28 – $65 per square foot
