First Call Masonry & Foundation

Massachusetts has no foundation-contractor license, but your contractor must carry Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration, and structural work needs a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) and a building permit from the Westwood Building Department. Significant structural repair such as pier installation, wall rebuild, or underpinning requires PE-stamped drawings from a registered Professional Engineer. Because the Neponset River and the town's brooks and wetlands run through Westwood, exterior excavation, regrading, or drainage near those resources frequently triggers Westwood Conservation Commission review under the Wetlands Protection Act. Confirm resource-area setbacks before any dig-out.

Westwood foundation pricing sits in the eastern-Massachusetts mid-to-upper band, between Boston metro and central Massachusetts. Crack injection in a poured wall runs about $400–$900 per crack. An interior perimeter French drain with a sump pump typically lands at $8,000–$18,000, with uphill walls on sloped, ledge-laced lots at the higher end. A sump pump install is usually $1,200–$3,000, more with battery backup. Stabilizing a bowing or cracked wall with carbon-fiber straps or steel beams runs $5,000–$12,000. Settlement repair with helical or push piers runs roughly $1,500–$3,000 per pier, with full projects often $10,000–$30,000.

Massachusetts requires a written contract and a Home Improvement Contractor registration for most residential foundation repair & waterproofing work; ask for the registration number and check it before paying a deposit.
