Bakazan Masonry & Restoration
We're a family — not a franchise. Every project we take on is a personal commitment: to listen deeply, work with precision, and deliver something you'll be proud of for decades to come.
"We don't just build — we listen, plan, and take pride in every joint."
The Bakazan FamilyGreat masonry isn't just about what looks right — it's about what holds, what lasts, and what the people who commissioned it feel every time they see it.
The Bakazan family founded this company on a simple conviction: that craft and client care are inseparable. We take every brief seriously, ask the right questions, and don't pick up a trowel until we fully understand what success means to you. Whether you're restoring a century-old facade or building a new hardscape from scratch, your goals drive everything we do.
From historic preservation to bold new hardscapes — every service we offer is delivered with meticulous attention to detail and unwavering safety standards.
We study your structure before we touch it — matching original mortar compositions, replicating period jointing, and honoring the authentic character that makes historic masonry irreplaceable.
New construction, tuckpointing, and repairs executed with correct bond patterns and proper coursing — brickwork that looks sharp today and holds structurally for the life of the building.
Fieldstone, limestone, bluestone, and granite installed by hands that know how to read stone — placed with the patience and precision that only real experience brings.
Patios, retaining walls, steps, and pathways designed around your outdoor vision and built on proper drainage foundations that prevent settling and endure every season.
Crown rebuilds, liner installation, damper repairs, and full reconstruction — every chimney project completed to code with fire safety as the non-negotiable priority.
Precision repointing with period-appropriate mixes that stop water infiltration, restore structural integrity, and extend your masonry's life by decades — not years.
A finished project isn't finished until you're genuinely satisfied — without reservation. That's not a slogan. It's the standard we hold ourselves to on every job, and the reason our clients refer us to the people they care about most.
We communicate clearly at every stage, never surprise you with costs, and stay on-site until the work is done right. Your goals are our goals — from the first conversation to the final handshake.
Tell Us What You're EnvisioningWe don't cut corners — literally or figuratively. Every joint, every course, every stone is placed with the care we'd give to our own home.
OSHA-compliant procedures, proper fall protection, and zero tolerance for shortcuts on the job site. We protect your property, our crew, and your family.
You'll always know where we are, what's next, and what anything costs — before it costs it. No surprises, no runaround, just straight talk from start to finish.
We ask more questions than most contractors. Your vision, your timeline, your priorities — we design our entire process around them, not around ours.
"Every client becomes part of our story — and we take that seriously."
We started Bakazan Masonry & Restoration in 2022 with a clear purpose: to bring genuine craft and genuine care back to masonry work. As a family business, every project carries our name — and we never forget that.
You'll speak directly with us. You'll see us on the job site. When we say we'll be there, we'll be there. That kind of personal accountability isn't something you find in larger operations — it's the advantage of working with a family that has staked its reputation on every wall, step, and stone it has ever laid.
We hire skilled people who share our values, train them thoroughly, and never subcontract the work you've trusted us with. The hands you hire are the hands that show up.
We built our process around the client experience — so you always know what's happening, what's next, and that your goals are guiding every decision we make.
A free on-site consultation where we hear your goals, walk your property, and ask the questions that lead to the right plan — not just the fastest one.
A fully itemized written proposal — scope of work, materials, timeline, and pricing — with no fine print and no vague line items.
Our own crew — no subcontractors — performs all work to the highest safety and quality standards, with daily updates and a clean job site every evening.
We walk the project together at the end. Nothing is done until you're genuinely satisfied — and we back every job with a written workmanship warranty.
The Bakazan family treated my home like it was their own. They flagged issues I didn't even know existed, explained everything clearly, and the finished stonework is absolutely stunning. I couldn't recommend them more.
