Rain and Shine Masonry, Foundation Waterproofing, Chimney Repairs, Boston

Rain and Shine Masonry works out of Belmont, doing foundation and chimney jobs across the greater Boston area — a cracked foundation wall or a chimney that's started leaking is the call it gets most. It's listed with the Belmont Chamber of Commerce, putting its home base at 385 Concord Ave. On Google, it's sitting at 4.9 stars from 18 ratings, and the run of reviews from late June into July 2026 tells a consistent story. One customer had a foundation wall with a dangerous lean reinforced; another got a basement foundation repointed; a third had chimney flashing that had leaked for years fixed in a single day. Several reviewers specifically mention the crew showing up when promised and leaving the site clean once the work wrapped. That same pair of jobs — foundation repair and chimney work — shows up across the fuller run of 17 reviews collected since mid-2025, plus independent directory write-ups describing a chimney rebuilt after storm damage. It's a short history rather than a long-established one, but a consistent one. Two things are worth knowing before booking. A run of five-star Google reviews from this year reuse strikingly similar phrasing — "always punctual," "kept us in the loop," "Boston's finest" — the kind of pattern that makes it hard to weigh each one as fully independent, and a couple of the most recent entries go further and add nothing but a single word in Indonesian. Separately, one third-party review noted the initial cost estimate came in under what the job ended up costing, so it's worth pinning down pricing before the crew starts. For a foundation crack, a leaning wall, or a chimney that needs rebuilding after storm damage, this is a contractor with a real, if recent, string of similar jobs behind it. Ask for a firm written estimate up front, and weigh the newest reviews with the scripted phrasing in mind rather than at face value.
