Foundation & Basement Masonry in Unionville, Franklin, MA
Looking for foundation & basement masonry in Unionville in Franklin, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Franklin and the rest of Norfolk County from our Boston base. Franklin patios and walls go up on newer subdivisions where drainage planning is critical.
Housing in Unionville in Franklin includes tight lots with shared driveways and close neighbors, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil is what wears this masonry down. That is why our foundation & basement masonry work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. Older Boston homes sit on fieldstone and brick foundations that need attention every few decades. We repoint, parge, and repair cracks so the structure stays dry and stable.
Response time in Franklin: Estimates within 72 hours · Typical range $1,500 – $18,000

Joints packed in layers with appropriate mortar, then parged where specified.
4. Water management

Are foundation cracks always serious?
No. Hairline vertical cracks are common and often cosmetic. Stair-step, horizontal, or widening cracks need evaluation, and we will tell you when an engineer should be involved.
