Looking for brick walls, pillars & columns in Coolidge Square in Watertown, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Watertown and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Watertown homeowners call most often for walkway resets, front steps, and chimney crowns.
Housing in Coolidge Square in Watertown includes a mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes, and wind-driven rain from nor'easters 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.
