Stories From the Field
Post: AAA-1 Masonry Goes International
Thursday April 1, 2021
Long-time client, Ann Halverson, first discovered AAA-1 Masonry & Tuckpointing through the yellow pages way back in the 1990's. Impressed with the quality work she received on her then-residence in Zion and rental properties in Chicago, more than two decades later Ann still rings the office every time there is a masonry issue afoot. With a Ph.D in Chemistry and decades of apartment building ownership under her belt, Ann is no dummy! All the more reason we are proud to be considered her go-to vendor for masonry issues.
Being such loyal and vocal fan of AAA-1 Masonry & Tuckpointing, Ann received an honorary company t-shirt years ago and still wears it proudly, even when she goes abroad! Ann forwarded us this photo while taking a cultural trip to Cuba. What an honor for us. Thank you, Ann!
