Hello


The family masonry business started in Stamford CT in 1919. Site work and general building added by uncles and my father after 1947.

I've learned the masonry trades, concrete form work, timber and rough framing, metal work, plumbing, excavation, demolition, drainage, house moving and blasting by the greatest collection of men imagineable. They all passed on thier knowledge in thier own way (hard to take sometimes).
They showed me, "The only things worth learning are the things worth teaching" (sausage, wine, etc.) I mean quality.

I started at 8 yrs, every day off from school because I loved it. Full time since leaving HS.

I'm 52, I live in NW CT, still doing masonry & sitework the way I was taught.
