What Started It All.

Cory Fancher discovered his passion for stone masonry at 17, working as a mason tender alongside experienced stone masons. He spent his days climbing scaffolding, mixing mortar, and moving heavy materials—learning the trade from the ground up. But it wasn’t just a job. The first time he saw a stone set perfectly into place, something clicked. From that moment on, Cory knew he had found his craft.

Over the years, he’s dedicated himself to mastering the art of stonework, inspired by the rugged beauty and unique character of Michigan’s natural stone. His approach is rooted in craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a deep respect for the materials he works with. Today, Cory brings that same dedication to every project—whether it’s building a custom fireplace, restoring historic masonry, or creating timeless outdoor spaces.
