FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My grandfather and his brothers learned the trade in the fifties and passed it down to my father. I learned the trade working side by side with old school masons when I was young. I begged them to teach me and they would just laugh. They would make me do the hardest and the most dangerous tasks. I thought they were being hard on me.I look back now and realize they were teaching me all along with hands on experience. I have worked for commercial companies project managing making a good salary in an office. I choose to do this for a living because I love it.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. You are the customer you have a right to know whats being done and when it will be finished.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
True craftsmen have the necessary tools to do their job's. A real mason will have more than one trowel,hammer,chisel. This is one of the toughest trades to do. I don't see too many young kids learning the trade.It's not for everyone you really have to enjoy working outside.
