McAree Masonry Contractors is a Connecticut masonry company serving homeowners, builders, and architects since 1985 — a client base that spans residential, new construction, and design-professional relationships. The inclusion of builders and architects in their core client description is a meaningful signal: masonry contractors trusted by architects and builders operate to specification standards, timeline reliability, and quality consistency that exceed what many residential-only contractors deliver, because a single poor installation on a builder or architect’s project damages a professional relationship worth many future jobs.
Serving the architecture and building community since 1985 requires a company to maintain documentation of completed work, willingness to work within design specifications rather than substituting materials, ability to coordinate with other trades on multi-phase projects, and the professional credibility that comes from consistent on-time, on-spec performance over decades. These capabilities translate directly to better outcomes for residential clients as well, even those who will never interact with an architect or builder.
The masonry trade in Connecticut encompasses a wide range of work types: brick and block construction, natural and cultured stone installation, chimney building and repair, exterior hardscaping, foundation work, and decorative masonry features on both historic and contemporary properties. A contractor serving all three of McAree’s client categories — homeowners, builders, and architects — needs competency across this full range, because different clients bring different project types and design intentions.
With 40 years of Connecticut masonry experience, McAree brings the institutional knowledge of having worked through multiple cycles of material trends, building code changes, and Connecticut homeowner preferences. They have seen which masonry approaches hold up well in the state’s climate over decades and which approaches have generated the callbacks and warranty claims that teach hard lessons about proper construction.
For Connecticut homeowners undertaking masonry projects — whether a new patio, retaining wall, chimney repair, or exterior stonework — and for builders and architects seeking a reliable masonry subcontractor with a documented 40-year track record, McAree Masonry Contractors represents an established option across residential and commercial-adjacent applications throughout the state.
