Our masonry projects are Built To Last and will stand the test of weather and time.

All of our real masonry construction products feature block and concrete construction with solid rebar fortified engineering. When a kitchen is being constructed on an existing slab we dowel and epoxy rebar into the slab before we begin construction of the shell. All fireplaces get an engineered footing as well as an engineered structure. With fireplaces the existing slab is saw cut and removed to make way for a special fireplace footing.

Please browse through the images below for a glimpse of the extensive process we employ on all or our custom masonry projects.
