[01 / ABOUT]
Twenty-five years on the tools
I was seventeen, a hod carrier on a Boone County farmhouse chimney, when I fell for masonry. Ray, an older bricklayer, taught me mortar mixes one batch at a time.
I spent years on commercial crews laying block before going out on my own in 2005. I chose to work small and stay on the tools, rather than run crews I never see.
Repair work became the heart of the trade for me. Matching old mortar is a craft, not a product, and every old wall deserves someone who cares about the match.
My promise is simple: the man who quotes your job is the man who points the joints. Established in 2005, with 25+ years of hands-on masonry experience, I am personally on the jobsite from start to finish.
