About ProTop

Masonry, Foundation & Waterproofing Work Built Around the Property

ProTop Foundation & Masonry serves homeowners across Greater Boston with practical repair, restoration, waterproofing and exterior improvement solutions.

A Focused Approach to Masonry and Structural Exterior Work

ProTop brings masonry, foundation repair, waterproofing, basement work, chimney services and hardscaping together under one contractor. That matters because problems around a home are often connected. Water at a basement wall can relate to exterior grading or masonry deterioration; damaged mortar can allow moisture into brickwork; failed steps or retaining masonry can involve both drainage and structural movement.

Our goal is to look at the condition as a whole, explain the practical options, and recommend work that addresses the underlying issue rather than simply covering the visible symptom.

Clear Recommendations From Inspection Through Completion

Every property is different, so the right repair starts with understanding what is actually happening.

Inspect

We review visible deterioration, moisture paths, movement, drainage, access and surrounding conditions.

Explain

We discuss the problem in straightforward terms and outline the work that makes sense for the property.

Repair

The scope is approached with attention to preparation, compatible materials, drainage and durable finishing.

Review

We walk through completed work and the practical maintenance considerations that may help protect it.

From Older Masonry to Modern Waterproofing Systems

Masonry & Historic Materials

Boston-area homes include brick, fieldstone, brownstone, concrete, stucco and other materials that age differently. Repointing, restoration and repairs should respect the existing assembly and the way it manages moisture.

Foundations & Basements

Cracks, deteriorated joints, damp walls, water entry and weakened masonry deserve a careful assessment. Our foundation and basement services cover repair, reinforcement, repointing, drainage and waterproofing options.

Exterior Improvements

Steps, patios, walkways, pavers and driveways are exposed to water, freeze-thaw cycles and daily use. Proper base preparation and drainage are just as important as the visible finish.

One Point of Contact

When a project crosses more than one trade area, having masonry, waterproofing and exterior work considered together can make planning simpler and reduce conflicting repairs.

Common Reasons to Have ProTop Take a Look

Water Intrusion

Damp basement walls, staining, seepage, musty areas or water entering after rain.

Mortar Deterioration

Missing joints, loose mortar, eroded pointing or visibly weathered brick and stone.

Cracking & Movement

Foundation cracks, stair-step masonry cracks, separation or movement that needs evaluation.

Aging Exterior Work

Worn steps, patios, chimneys, walkways and surfaces that need repair or replacement.

Serving Greater Boston

We work with homeowners throughout Boston and surrounding communities. Project availability can vary by location and scope, so the easiest way to confirm coverage is to request an estimate with your property ZIP code.

Our service range includes masonry, foundations, basement waterproofing, chimneys, hardscaping, steps, patios, walkways, driveways and roofing.

Do you inspect the problem before recommending work?

Yes. The visible symptom does not always identify the underlying cause, so inspection and project context are important before defining a scope.

Can one project involve several ProTop services?

Yes. Many exterior and water-management projects overlap, and related work can be considered together when appropriate.
