Our Legacy
Masonry has been our family's trade for four generations. The skills behind Core Masonry RVA were passed down by hand, on real job sites, from one generation to the next — how to read an old wall, how to choose the right mortar, and how to do work that still looks right years later. Owner John Pearse carries that tradition forward in Richmond today, treating every home as if it were our own and every historic wall as something worth preserving.
