Brick Daddy tooling a joint

Who we are

Hi, my name is Big Daddy Bricks.

But most people call me Brick Daddy.

I got into masonry because I loved the beauty of the bricks and because I wanted a fulfilling career, something that felt real.

I love taking a wall that’s been patched, neglected, or poorly repaired and figuring out what it actually needs. Matching the brick so closely that the new work disappears into the old. Getting the mortar right. Putting an arch or a chimney back the way it was meant to be. Some days are careful and quiet. Some are dusty and loud. Both feel worth it when the job is done properly.

The masonry comes first. The character stays. And the work should speak for itself.
