What is Masonry?


Welcome to Empire Masonry. Thank you for stopping by. 

You maybe asking yourself what is Empire Masonry? What is masonry? 

In basic terms masonry refers to construction with stone. A stonemason is someone who practices this art or craft. In today's world of construction, masonry includes many different forms of "stone." Natural stone and rock the most wanted but there is also great man-made options whether it is in the form of concrete block, brick, cement, and also man-made rock and stone that imitate natural stone. If a person  wished to construct a block building that is masonry, but many times builders use different masonry elements for aesthetics. These are great options when wanting to update an existing home or structure.

Empire Masonry works with any of these forms and styles. If it's new construction we do it. If is a additions to an existing structure, we do it. We also know the methods to make your addition appear as if it were a part of the original home. Maybe your needs are retaining walls or walkways; we do it.
