A Story Written in Stone

You could say I was born with masonry in my blood. My father before more and his father before that were both masons. My grandfather was contracted by his hometown, Montella in the province of Avellino, to care for all the roads...Italy, you can imagine all the cement and stone work that was involved in this undertaking. Flash forward to 1951 when my father arrived in the United States...pockets but were determined to make a good life for themselves. My dad put his masonry skills to work immediately as there was much construction going on at the time. He worked for a local contractor by day and went to school at night to learn to speak english. Being the determined fellow that he was he started his own business in 1963. From there he thrived in the field and during the 70’s and 80’s he cast a large footprint on both the commercial and residential projects in this area. During this time, I worked continuously in the field for my dad. I started out as a young boy doing labor work and by my mid-teens was already a mason. Throughout high school and as a business major in college, working as a mason was the only job I had. I improved my skills considerably working with my father throughout the 80’s. We worked almost exclusively in Bergen County NJ and the surrounding area. By 1985 my dad, well into his sixties, turned the business over to me. At twenty-five, I was running my own business and began carving out a niche of my own in the mason contracting business. We continue today to offer great quality work at a fair market price. My father always taught me to do right by people and good things would come back to you. I have found that to be on of the keys to my success. "Quality Counts" - Richard Fierro

Natural Stone from Inside to Out

My project here was to design and build this 10,000 sqft raised ranch. The objective was to have all living space on one floor, yet have a walk out basement to utilize the large area below. One of our priorities was to keep the exterior all masonry, as to eliminate any up keep down the road. We used a combination of cultivated stone and stucco to achieve this goal. Indoors, the design idea was to have the foyer that lead into a large kitchen connected to the dinning room. Separated by French doors and step down to the huge family room, the enables entertaining in all three spacious rooms combined. Bedrooms are located at the far side of the home to keep them isolated from the rest of the house. The opposite end of the house was for guest rooms, office, laundry room, and kids playroom. There are also six full baths and one half bath, as to eliminate fighting at shower time. The home was built in 2001, but we are still involved in on going projects.
