Mason at work

About

Three generations in stone.

Family masonry work in North Texas.

Raymond Rhinehart

Family Work

The work stayed in the family.

Raymond Rhinehart learned masonry from his father, then spent decades building the judgment that comes from working stone by hand.

That foundation now carries through Ray's sons and the crew, from early layout decisions to the finished joints.
