The best craftsman is the professional masonry contractor. Masonry structures are notable for their beauty, versatility, and ability to survive earthquakes and fire.
Clay brick is the oldest manufactured product and has been used in building construction for more than 6,000 years. Clay brick is only one aspect of masonry. Your masonry contractor works with these mediums: stone, mortar, grout, cements, plasters and stucco, concrete, cast stone, and other earthen material like adobe and terra cotta, as well as various coatings to preserve and protect your installation.
As building technologies go, masonry is often much more expensive than wood construction, but is desirable and is pleasing to the eye. Using stone and brick can make a building look as though it has stood for 200 years. On the opposite foot, concrete can be used for a more modern industrial appearance. Both can be done through the skill and craftsmanship of a quality, experienced masonry contractor.

Located in the extreme northeast corner of the United States, Maine consists largely of a coastal plain of eroded valleys, with more resistant rock forming the generally mountainous west (the Longfellow Mts., an extension of the White Mts. and part of the great Appalachian system), Mt. Desert and other islands in the east, and isolated peaks including Katahdin (5,268 ft/1,606 m), the highest point in the state. Receding glaciers deposited long drift ridges across the countryside and dammed the valleys to form more than 2,200 lakes (Moosehead Lake is the largest) and to establish new, rugged watercourses for more than 5,000 streams and rivers. The major rivers are the St. John (which, with the St. Croix, forms part of the international boundary with New Brunswick), the Penobscot, the Kennebec, the Androscoggin, and the Saco.
