Hand-Built custom masonry projects in Medford

A custom project contractor that knows Medford

Medford sits in Greater Boston (Middlesex County), and projects here near Mystic River and Tufts University need to handle a specific blend of weather and soil. Medford has a high concentration of original 1900s brick chimneys. We've built custom masonry projects throughout West Medford, Medford Square, and the rest of town with that local knowledge baked in.

JL Masonry has been serving Medford homeowners for over 15 years. Our crews understand the victorian aesthetic that dominates West Medford, and we stock material samples that match Medford's historic vocabulary.

Common custom project problems in Medford

• Need an outdoor kitchen with grill, counter, and storage
• Want a wood-fired pizza oven that performs and looks good — material matching is especially important given Medford's victorian character.
• Designing a fire pit area with seating wall
• Vision for a water feature, fountain, or formal garden element
• Have a unique design that no off-the-shelf solution fits

Custom Project questions, answered

Can you build to my design?

Yes. Bring sketches, Pinterest boards, or rough ideas. We collaborate on design, material selection, and budget — and execute.

What about outdoor kitchens?

Full design and build: grill enclosures, side burners, refrigeration, storage, counters, lighting. We coordinate gas, electric, and plumbing.

Pizza ovens — wood-fired or gas?

Both. Wood-fired is traditional and produces the best results; gas-fired is convenient and easier to use. We help you decide based on your usage.
