The Stone Mason Logo

Our logo is inspired by a visual Thomas’ grandfather, a stone mason, used for his business. He built a successful firm that lasted nearly a hundred years, restoring historical buildings. The work of the stone mason resonated for several reasons: it requires craftmanship, the outcome is built to last, and it contributes to a larger purpose.

Michelangelo, the sculptor of the statue of David said: “The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.”

We see our purpose the same way:  to bring out the best in your organization.
