Artwork Masonry Construction & Design owner, Jason Altman, with office manager, Karina Paulino.

“Outdoor living is a booming segment of the industry,” said Alston. “People want to enjoy their outside spaces in style and comfort.”

Art Work Masonry features an outdoor showroom at their headquarters in Murrells Inlet complete with a patio, fire place, pizza oven, and outdoor kitchen with grill and pergola, so clients can visit and gain a sense of possibility. 

“More people are interested in pergolas to go with their outdoor living, so we’ve been doing a lot of building and installation of those,” said Alston. 

At Art Work Masonry, customer service means efficiency and availability, as well a work crew that respects the site. 

“When I started my business, I tried to make my staff more distinguished,” said Alston. “There’s no music on the job and no smoking on the job. They watch their language. We get customers complimenting those things — they notice it.”

Art Work Masonry also works with homeowners, realty companies, and property management companies on repairs to existing structures. 

“A Realtor might be trying to sell a home, and if there is issues: cracks, rusted lintels, problems with a driveway. They call me to get that stuff straight. In property management, sometimes an entrance feature has a problem – sometimes it’s gotten old and they need to replace column caps, or if a car hits the entrance, they need to repair it. We can get those repairs done quickly.” 

When homeowners first view their new custom outdoor area, their reactions give Alston great reward. 

“They say things like, ‘It’s the best I’ve seen,’ ‘Beautiful work,’ or ‘It’s amazing.’ One client recently said, ‘Jason, it’s touching. It’s what I wanted.’ For me, that’s a tip. That’s when they give me a tip.”
