Masonry Is a Trade Passed Down Through Generations
Louis Masonry is a family-owned and operated masonry contractor serving the greater Charleston, South Carolina area. Since 1993, three generations of the Johnson family have specialized in masonry — building, repairing and restoring the brick and stone work that makes a house feel permanent.
Masonry isn't just something we do. It's a trade that has been passed down — from one generation to the next, with the same attention to materials, technique and craftsmanship that the work demands. That foundation is what homeowners see in every project we take on.
Our work spans brickwork, stone and cultured-stone veneers, fireplaces, tuckpointing, stairs, walkways, stucco, chimney construction and repair, stone cleaning and restoration, historic preservation and masonry repair. We serve homeowners across the Charleston area who want an experienced specialist — not a general contractor who happens to do masonry on the side.

With roots stretching back across three generations since 1993, Chauncy brings active, on-site oversight to every jobsite — from delicate historic brick and chimney restorations downtown to major structural CMU and commercial brick projects like AutoZone, Baptist Hill, and retail fueling centers.
“Masonry is built on your name and the mortar that stands after you leave. We treat every home and commercial wall as proof of our family's craft.”
