History

Bricklaying dates back to the beginning of civilzation and has been handed down from generation to generation. Some of the world greatest construction achievements have been constructed with masonry. Egyptian Pyraminds required thousands of workers to place stone. The Pantheon Dome in Rome is amazing, Cathedrals throughout the world are astonishing, the Washington Monument and just about every other Monument you can think of have been of Masonry. Most of all the higher education universities across the land have chosen masonry for it's strength, durability and distinguishing beauty. As trained Brick Masons we have continued to adapt throughout the years to keep up with modern design and technology, and to this day we still hold true to the original techniques of our craft. 

We train using many of the same tools and techniques Masons used 5000 years ago. Our program has been training Union Brick Masons, Marble Setters, Stone Masons, Pointers, Caulkers, Cleaners and Refractory Specialist in Southern Califorina for well over 100 years.
