How To Reach Us
Getting in touch with The Keystone is straightforward. We read every suggestion and genuinely consider each recommendation. Whether you’ve found a mason who did exceptional work on your home, discovered a concrete specialist who solved a persistent problem, or worked with a restoration expert who brought new life to an old building — we want to know about it.
Send us an email with the details of your experience. Share what impressed you, what problem they solved, and why you’d recommend them to others. The more specific you can be about your actual experience, the more helpful it is for us to make a decision about featuring them on The Keystone.
What We Respond To
We consider suggestions across a range of home improvement and construction services. Here’s what typically makes it onto our list:
Masonry & Restoration
Brick pointing, tuckpointing, masonry repair, concrete restoration, and historic building work. If someone helped preserve the bones of your home, we want to hear about them.
General Contracting
From foundation work to custom renovations, we feature contractors who deliver quality and professionalism. If a general contractor made your project run smoothly, tell us about it.
We focus on local Boston-area businesses and those serving Massachusetts. If they operate in our service areas and you’ve had a real, positive experience with them, send us the details.
Before You Write
A few things to keep in mind when submitting your suggestion:
1. Share Your Real Experience
Tell us specifically what they did for you. Which project? What made it stand out? What would you tell a friend? We can always tell the difference between a genuine recommendation and something else.
2. Include Their Contact Information
Business name, website (if they have one), phone number, or email — whatever makes them easy to reach. If they don’t have a web presence yet, that’s fine; just give us enough to find them.
3. Let Us Know Your Name
We don’t publish your email or personal information, but we do like knowing who we’re talking to. It helps us follow up if we need clarification on your recommendation.
4. Be Patient With Our Process
We don’t immediately list every suggestion. We research, verify information when we can, and make sure it aligns with what The Keystone stands for. We’ll get back to you either way within a couple of weeks.
