Contractor's landscaping and patio work is to be featured in the pool contractor's brochures. I couldn't be more proud of the talented workmanship that our crewmembers displayed on both the original and pool phases of this project.
The most innovative thing about my company is?
Our ability to perform innovative projects of any size large or small or any type, commercial or residential.
How did you get into the contracting business?
I grew up in this business. I had a trowel in my hand when I was nine years old. My dad was a mason contractor for many years before I started Kline Construction Corporation in 1980.
I became a member of MCAA because...
I was impressed with MCAA's training and development programs as well as the many other benefits such as public education and awareness. The annual convention with the seminars is very helpful as well as fun.
I find the thing I like the most about the MCAA now is ...
In 1999, I was honored to have been elected treasurer of the newly formed chapter, MCAA of Northeast Ohio. With this chapter we now have a local voice and presence with the support of a great national organization that offers education and training as well as legal and engineering representation. We are helping local mason contractors with their education and training programs. We hold monthly round table discussions that allow us to share experiences or problems and work out solutions that benefit all. I like the opportunity for open discussion. I feel like I'm not in this alone and everyone benefits from other mason contractor's experiences.
"I like the fact that masonry is still an art. The masonry industry is not one that just anyone can perform and hopefully will never be replaced by automation. It takes a special type of person to be a mason."
