What do masonry contractors do?

Masonry contractors can be in charge of a variety of different aspects of a project. They may be in charge of laying mortar and bricks, hauling in materials, and building walls or chimneys. Terrazzo workers may lay on decorative pieces near the end of a project. Masonry jobs also can include restoration of historic buildings. As a masonry contractor, you may be involved in every step of the construction project. You might read blueprints and help plan the construction from start to finish if the masonry is an integral part of the project. Every job will have unique challenges and requirements.
