A few weeks after the tornado on May 16th, a former neighbor from Washington Place texted looking for a recommendation. One of the original stone walls at the entrance to her street was in need of significant repair. My first thought was to find out who our HOA hires to maintain the large stone gates at the Union entrance to Kingsbury Place, but I found out pretty quickly that that company–Classic Stone–is out of business. After reaching out to local sources, Grace Schnapp, a reporting intern in our office this summer, was able to compile the following list.
The Harlan Company
With 40 years of experience in construction, Harlan offers a range of services that include stonework, historic masonry renovation, and more. The company is headquartered in St. Louis, but manages projects throughout the United States and Europe.
John J. Smith Masonry Co.
For more than fifty years, Smith Masonry has specialized in large-scale projects featuring brick, block, and stone. The company’s work can be seen throughout the Midwest, from storefronts and university campuses to stately event spaces.
St. Louis Stone & Brick
Specialists in historic pillar restoration, St. Louis Stone & Brick are experts in a range of European-style stone and brick projects that enhance the beauty, functionality, and character of a home or property. The company was founded in 2002 by Niko Mijatovic, a third-generation stonemason from Croatia.
Stone Works
Lee Lindsey founded his small masonry restoration and construction business in 1976. His work can be seen throughout many historic St. Louis neighborhoods, and includes projects such as the construction of patios, walls, fountains, steps, fireplaces and much more.
Twin City Monuments
While Twin City is best-known for building memorial headstones and epitaphs, the 85-year-old, family-owned company has the know-how to rebuild large-scale projects, specifically using granite and limestone.
