In business since 1982. Family owned & operated. Before starting my own business I worked for my father. I started in 1969 during summers and full time after graduating high school in 1973. My self taught grandfather started doing masonry and concrete work in 1945 and my father in 1950. I became an apprentice in 1971. We pride ourselves in quality workmanship. Whether a small foundation repair to a complete brick veneer, sidewalk or driveway, to a brand new in ground swimming pool you can be assured of a top quality job that's built to last ! We are often asked: How did you start building pools? We started building concrete block pools with vinyl liners in them in 1969 and then proceeded to build factory package pools beginning in 1975. \n To help keep over head costs down our office is in our home.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp.
