Fireplace Expert

HistoryI was in Boulder doing all kinds of construction and remodel and helping a friend deliver stone from his quarry. On one delivery the job super asked if I could build a retaining wall. I agreed to do it and did a little research and did the job. With just a little marketing and a lot of word of mouth, soon I was busy with masonry all the time. I brought the business to Aspen in '89 and have been working here ever since. I have taken a few side trips on the way, stone sculpture, Isokern fireplace dealer, and a few extended stints in Chicagoland and Hawaii. I am here now and taking projects of all types and scale.SpecialtiesMy specialty is the unusual, difficult or complicated stone or tile jobs. I have carpentry skills so I can interface with surrounding framing on fireplace remodels and perform demolition and reconstruction. I am good at repairs and eliminating the cause of damage as well as fixing almost anything. I can build you awesome retaining walls for hardscape and a patio to go with it. I can do any kind of masonry from fine, exact cut work like the fireplace photo, to rustic moss rock or river rock. I can repair or replace damaged sidewalks and patios.
