About
Three decades of quiet, careful masonry
Since 1994, David Korda, a qualified and licensed stonemason, has built stonework across the region the traditional way: stone by stone, selected and shaped by hand. No shortcuts, no compromise on quality.
Homestead Stonework takes on a deliberate number of projects each year, working closely with homeowners, architects and builders who value work that outlasts trends.
