Engineering luxurious masonry structures. From new construction brickwork to grand limestone installations, our in-house crew delivers absolute perfection.
Quality construction cannot be faked. When you hire bargain masons for a custom build, they rush the block work and compromise the mortar mix, leaving your new investment vulnerable to cracking and severe weather damage.
Unlike companies that just patch cracks, we are full-scale builders. From sprawling new custom homes to commercial block work, our in-house craftsmen execute complex structural and veneer systems with zero subcontractors.
No surprise crews. No hidden costs. You know exactly what happens at every step — and why.

We don't guess. We provide a rigorous, line-by-line construction estimate covering all structural block, brick, and mortar needs.
Why it matters: Our detailed blueprint analysis prevents costly mid-project change orders.
All masonry units, flashing, and structural components are secured and staged to ensure zero delays once our crews begin building.
Why it matters: Proper staging and exact material sourcing eliminate delays during the critical construction phase.
Masonry is on the critical path. We coordinate daily with your general contractor and framers to keep the entire build perfectly on schedule.
Why it matters: Masonry forms the core structure. Seamless GC integration keeps the entire custom build moving perfectly.
No subcontractors. Our direct employees build your custom home, ensuring the highest standards of architectural masonry are met.
Why it matters: We rely entirely on our in-house master craftsmen. Total control over execution guarantees architectural perfection.
A rigorous quality check of all flashing, mortar joints, and stone alignments ensures your new home exceeds municipal building codes.
Why it matters: We verify every structural detail and aesthetic line before handing the site back to the general contractor.
The structure of your home depends on the masonry. Inexperienced crews often fail to properly install ties and flashing in new builds, leading to devastating water damage and structural settling years down the line.
Using overly hard mortar on modern brick causes the brick face to shatter under thermal expansion, ruining the new facade.
Brokering out work to unknown crews means zero quality control. The standards drop the minute the general contractor looks away.
Without correctly spaced weep holes in the new veneer, moisture cannot escape, leading to mold and efflorescence on your new walls.
Brokering work to random crews means zero accountability. When structural issues arise during the build, everyone points fingers.
We don't just lay brick; we build systems. Flashing, drainage, and load-bearing capacities are executed perfectly to code.
We specialize in translating complex architectural designs into structurally sound, breathtaking masonry masterpieces.
We know construction scheduling. We arrive on time, coordinate with other trades, and never delay the critical path.
We never use subcontractors. The expert team that estimates your custom build is the exact same crew that executes it flawlessly.
"AMS matched our 1920s limestone perfectly. Every neighbor noticed the restoration — and not a single one could tell where the new work began."
