Stone has been utilized in construction for centuries, and many original structures built during antiquity still stand due to the timelessness that this art form offers. With stones as unique as the hands that lay them, each masonry project offers one-of-a-kind aesthetic qualities.

JCM just did the stone work on our house. I watched as they chiseled each individual stone to make this beautiful work of art. I’m a little bias, but I do feel our house stands out because of the fine details in the natural stone. Can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and getting the job done rather quickly (once it started).

The Cortese mason's work was a treat to watch unfold here at the Church... Their craftsmanship is excellent and the improvements they made to our front entryway is both beautiful and welcoming.
They recently transformed the back yard of our parsonage with a beautiful stone/bluestone sidewalk, which has changed the whole feel of the property!

I hired John Cortese Masons to replace my front steps and walkway with bluestone. The completed job looks fantastic, exactly what we wanted. The staff was always very personable, on time, and very involved in the job. I am extremely happy with the finsihed product and would definitely reccomend them to anyone who is interested in stone work.
