He’s not a fly-by-night guy that comes in and does ordinary work - he’s artistic, and on top of that, he’s honest, polite, and thoughtful. His problem solving skills are phenomenal. The majority of the time he’s more right than I am, and I’ve been a developer for almost 40 years! I think he’s super, and I’m very happy I know him.” — Raymond Young https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1626050007643-1NLZDUDJ4001XOWDWRZI/405F9B18-2F6D-4F20-AA29-D0E73E66C477.jpg Testimonials - “I work with several landscapers and hardscapers and we all agree that when it comes to repairing, rebuilding or constructing a new wall, David Helfant of Breaking Stones Masonry is the guy that you want on your team.” — Jim Flint https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1627233729737-JWTTRXT8R3H179A83GRO/9E9D4C17-B09D-41C2-92E5-1B245EC82021_1_105_c.jpeg Testimonials - “I learned about and his stone work when I was admiring the new cobblestone transition at a friend's Cape Ann home. I called Dave and the rest is history: one spectacular fire pit, one phenomenal granite patio, and one outdoor staircase later, his craftsmanship and customer ethic has completely transformed our property. Because we reside in Gloucester's historic "Quarry Master's" house, Dave's extraordinary work is even more meaningful. He's a wonderful communicator, a generous boss to his hardworking crew, and is able to effectively interpret and execute client needs and ideas, while also bringing an artist's creative eye when invited. I can't recommend him highly enough." — Johanna Chao Kreilick https://breakingstonesmasonry.com/wallsandentryways daily 0.75 2021-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1626030958345-FRVVHHIBJMQJS01U8WFL/4072B247-1C26-470E-BB3B-6FEC1126237F_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways - Walls Whether for structural or aesthetic purposes, we create custom stonewalls that add value and elegance to any property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1633966575511-JEJUKKK1ULZQNWEVODJH/IMG_6528.jpeg Walls & Entryways - Steps & Entryways Create a beautifully placed entryway or staircase that creates a functional path or whimsical welcome to visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/ab08d79f-5277-41dc-87ee-352818c767d1/B6260DD0-BF06-4462-A2A3-9A6B89E8603C_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1ba17acf-3855-4b1e-b5f6-841fbf21d431/IMG_6545.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/ae6ab5c2-922b-4849-872c-e0f09dde5e25/272AEEBD-1C05-447F-AE8D-E3DEAAB45379_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1794119f-9d29-4d99-8eaf-3117c2d17fd3/IMG_6547.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/de320f5e-f43f-4183-8b25-46ad992bf854/4FECB114-F882-406F-B210-8727837596B7_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/a36fd218-f4c0-4c00-bcda-732bdf6abbba/8E4654AF-BD3E-4757-A93D-BAAE0741AB48_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/73458aca-131a-4700-bd2e-7370410a1b14/7A533AC9-0247-4815-8E93-82449C9B177A_1_105_c.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/9b9f5a35-def7-497d-8304-0bfda4686d11/IMG_6524.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/c31d1f6e-83e2-488f-87c6-c1ffaa29df4b/7E2B1E06-EBDC-4FE1-BEB3-1B71997606B0_1_105_c.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/e73c32e8-aa7c-40a5-9b4a-c33c7e0fe1c1/4EF86D21-1B81-4317-9BD4-FD80FC0199D8_1_105_c.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/927be054-f665-4d09-9ee6-8c3a74b60f11/A6C08918-9064-4B73-954F-6387C2DC5091_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/10622953-997e-4fb5-a007-5bb93649f484/0B55ACBE-FB65-41E9-92B8-C36B4A5BA90F_1_105_c.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/49002c2a-3d5d-4761-949f-59dd25b2b576/8FE477A8-76FB-4EAC-A78F-D36F06F3534B_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/545e9b93-c272-4d55-8020-66a3ea2b62df/7074E49D-32AF-4E18-ACB6-F40360113074_1_105_c.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/3340d88c-5c7d-4008-ae08-2a6cd0c8560e/F1F1C059-B3EB-4267-8160-E80F8555A6C6_1_201_a.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/12c0a7dc-dd07-4c3f-bd56-fd5283b848d9/5B321ADC-D4B9-4E6C-B85E-3B6091EE89C0_1_105_c.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/7367a0b6-15a1-4e4b-a45d-cec12105d857/IMG_6557.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/9957dd87-7c02-4f60-9e48-57c52f93d2bd/IMG_6533.jpeg Walls & Entryways https://breakingstonesmasonry.com/firepitsandfireplaces daily 0.75 2021-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1626025592810-2I6GOKFLZ2L2G432MIR9/jim-chesek-iqH-MGgYFLg-unsplash.jpg Firepits & Fireplaces - Firepits Firepits are a vessel for bringing friends and family together.

My love for masonry all started at the age of 11. I had just moved to Rockport, Massachusetts and my first memory is building a small granite retaining wall in our backyard: simply because it needed to be there. Fast track 35 years later, I was doing some work in my backyard and had to remove that wall I had built decades prior. That is when is all made sense, a revelation of sorts. As I began taking down that wall, I became overwhelmed with emotions. This wall was my first memory of my home and the added fact that I had started my own masonry business, this connection had a profound impact on me. As I began to process this flow of emotions, I came to a final conclusion - masonry was, and is, my true calling. During my time at Bridgewater State University, (B.S. Class of 1998), I had started laboring for a local masonry company during summer breaks. I worked in my field of study for a brief time before realizing I wasn’t happy and decided to go back into masonry. After 15 years of working for various masonry companies, I made the decision to start my own business, and Breaking Stones Masonry was born. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604b81b25a4c365745236741/1635697205022-G6VAYYVPJ7T02V6SBWVS/IMG_6085.jpeg About - Breaking Stones Masonry is a “niche” company.
