Who we are

We Take Buildings Down and Build With Brick and Block

At MJ Masonry, the work splits between masonry and demolition. Most of our masonry is commercial. We build concrete block buildings and elevator shafts, and we lay brick and brick veneer.

We have been buying equipment for building wrecking, and knockdowns are the work we want more of. That covers house demolition for homes and garages, and building demolition for commercial and industrial buildings.

Weymouth sits at the center of our service area, southeast of Boston. It reaches about 90 miles around the town, across Greater Boston and into Central Massachusetts. For a larger demolition job, our equipment also travels into New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

About Our Company
Why Choose MJ Masonry

Demolition and Masonry Around Weymouth

The Teardown and the New Masonry

One company can handle the teardown and the masonry that follows. We can clear an old building off a lot, then lay the block and brick for the new one.

Our Own Demolition Equipment

Our own machines do the knockdowns, on a detached garage or a full commercial building. Clearing the site afterward is part of the same job.

The Foundation Stays or Goes

On a teardown, you decide what happens to the foundation. When it comes out, we break it up and fill the hole.

Priced After We See the Job

We look at the site, or the plans on bid work, before we price anything. Then the quote comes to you in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Demolition or Masonry?

Here are common questions about demolition and masonry around Weymouth and Greater Boston. If yours is not here, call or text and we will answer it.

Call (617) 838-0280

What does a demolition and masonry contractor do?
A demolition contractor takes structures down and removes the debris. A masonry contractor builds walls and buildings from brick or concrete block, laid in mortar. MJ Masonry does both kinds of work, on houses and on commercial buildings.
Who do you work for?
Our customers include homeowners and property owners, plus developers and general contractors. General contractors send us a lot of commercial masonry bid work. Homeowners hire us on the demolition side, to take down a house or a garage.
What area do you serve?
We take jobs across the South Shore and Greater Boston. That takes in Quincy, Braintree, Brockton and Boston, plus Cambridge, Somerville, Newton and Lynn. Farther out, it reaches Framingham and Worcester. See the towns in our service area for the full list.
How does pricing work?
We price each job on its own, after we see it, and you get the quote in writing. On a teardown, size, access, the foundation and the debris load drive the price. On masonry work, wall area and materials come first, then access and the time of year. Call or text (617) 838-0280, and we will set a time to see your job.
Does a demolition in Weymouth need a permit?
Yes, a demolition in Weymouth needs a building permit from the town. A building at least 100 years old, or one of unknown age, can go to the Historical Commission for review. If the commission decides after a hearing that the building is preferably preserved, the permit waits six months. Each city and town has its own rules, and its building department can tell you what applies.
What happens if a building has asbestos?
It has to come out before the building does. State rules call for a survey and a written report from an asbestos inspector first. If the report finds asbestos, a separate abatement contractor removes it. Our demolition starts after that work is done.
Do you do interior demolition?
Yes. We gut houses and commercial spaces ahead of a renovation. Non-structural walls, ceilings, fixtures and old finishes come out, and the debris leaves with us.
Do you pour concrete too?
Yes. Our concrete work starts with the footings under our block and brick walls. We also pour foundation walls and slabs, plus pads, steps and landings. Stamped and decorative concrete go to another company.
Do you repair chimneys or repoint old brick?
No, those jobs go to a masonry repair specialist. Our masonry is new brick and block work. Paver patios and other landscape work go to a hardscape contractor.
