About

p h i l o s o p h y

At A Masonry Company, we strive to attain ‘old-world’ craftsmanship through the application of ‘new-world’ methods – implementing both technology and technique to meet the client’s needs. In this, the foundation of our philosophy is “do it once, do it right.”

Al started in the trade of masonry 36 years ago, working for a talented craftsman who brought his craft with him from Ischia, a small island in Italy. Al worked very closely with his mentor adhering to his techniques and practices. Together they built many commercial buildings and residential projects. Since then, Al has expanded his trade to incorporate more conceptual design, helping the client's vision become a reality.

When Al asked his mentor how he learned his trade, he looked down at his hands and said

"It's a gift." 

A gift that Al is happy to share with his customers.
