About Our Company
The Stone Mason is a small company with the capacity to do custom residential
work. I will work one on one with you and make sure you get the best
quality stonework possible. Since I build all stonewalls myself,
consistency and high standards of workmanship are easily maintained and
reflected throughout the job. As a specialized mason my goal has always
been to bring back the craftsmanship of forgotten days into this new age of
building.
History
About twenty years ago my father brought to my attention an ad in the
paper. The advertisement read - "looking for helpers in stone
quarry". Knowing I needed a job and some direction he selflessly
grabbed me and off we went to meet the owners. Within a couple of weeks
the phone rang and my career in the stone trade began. I spent about two
years learning to drill and plug, split and cut stone. I also operated a
hydraulic stone cutter. During this period I gained a real understanding
of the nature of stone. My curiosity and never ending desire to learn
fueled my body for the physical challenges I faced working in a rock quarry.
After a while an artistic side in me began to emerge and I wondered what it
would be like building beautiful walls with the stone we produced. So
within a short while and after implementing some entrepreneural energy I soon
found myself on my first stone masonry job. Armed with a solid knowledge
in the cutting and quarrying of stone, I was greatly aided in my endeavors to
become a skilled mason. Through the years I have had the privilege of
working with and apprenticing under some very skilled masons and stonecutters
and have learned all I could from their years of experience. I have never
regretted that day my father drove me to the stone quarry and provided me with a
starting point to a career in stonework.
Thanks
A special thanks to my beautiful wife Dana for her ever present support
and understanding.
