Our story
Following in his father’s footsteps
Masonry runs in the family. Arlind grew up around construction and masonry, and his father built a career in masonry and hardscaping. At 14, Arlind started working on his father’s job sites every summer, learning the trade and saving for college.
He studied business at UConn and worked as a project accountant, but he missed building things. So he started AQ Masonry LLC and followed in his father’s footsteps.
That background shapes how we work: craftsmanship learned in the field, and the organization of someone who has managed project budgets. You get a clear, itemized quote, a project that stays on schedule, and the owner involved from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
How we work
We put the quote in writing, line by line, so you know exactly what’s included. On site, we excavate and compact the base to the depth your project needs, set pitch so water drains away from your home, and cut borders and edges to fit before the joints are filled. When the job is done, we walk it with you. See how a project works or browse our recent projects.

“We are extremely happy with the masonry work done by AQ masonry it’s a family run business and the owners are responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable. We weren’t sure exactly what we needed – they patiently walked us through our options, shared their expertise and turned our vision into an amazing space. Their prices are more than reasonable, especially given the quality of materials they use and the amazing attention to details. They communicated with us throughout the entire process. It was a fantastic experience through and through – we highly recommend AQ masonry”

“We contracted AQ Masonry to rebuild a crumbling retaining wall and redo the decking around our pool. I must say after having various contract work done for over 50 years, I have never experienced such a professional, harder working, perfectionist in my entire life. Their work is top notch, and I can give the highest recommendation for AQ Masonry. If I could rate Arlind and his staff a higher rating than 5 I would.”
