Custom Project Construction & Repair in Newton, MA

A custom project contractor that knows Newton

Newton is Colonial country — and the masonry that frames a property here has to respect that. We build custom masonry projects for homes throughout Newton Highlands and Newton Centre, with material choices and detailing that fit the local architecture. Newton's 13 villages feature some of the finest historic masonry in MA.

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

Common custom project problems in Newton

• 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 Newton's estate tudors 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.
