After evaluating industry experience, service capabilities, preservation knowledge, technical coordination, and commitment to responsible repair, Best of Best Review recognizes Curatola Masonry with the Best Commercial Masonry Contractor in Ohio of 2026 award.

Founded by construction executive Justin Curatola, Curatola Masonry provides structural masonry, historic restoration, waterproofing, concrete rehabilitation, chimney reconstruction, and building envelope repair services for properties across Ohio.

Leadership Built on Experience

Curatola brings more than 25 years of experience in construction, facility engineering, and masonry. His professional background includes service in the U.S. Navy and work involving commercial, institutional, municipal, industrial, government, and residential properties.

That experience has shaped his approach to leadership and project planning. Rather than treating visible damage as an isolated issue, Curatola emphasizes identifying the conditions that contributed to the problem before determining an appropriate course of action.

An Engineering-Informed Approach

Curatola Masonry works on projects involving structural cracking, water intrusion, masonry movement, deteriorating materials, chimney damage, foundation concerns, and building envelope failures. Depending on the project, the company may coordinate with structural engineers, architects, property owners, public officials, and other contractors.

This collaborative approach can be especially important when a project requires additional evaluation, specialized materials, or careful coordination among several parties. The company’s services include masonry repair, concrete rehabilitation, waterproofing, controlled demolition, stabilization, and façade restoration.

Preserving Historic Structures

Historic preservation is another important part of Curatola Masonry’s work. Older brick and stone buildings often require repair methods that account for their original materials, construction techniques, and architectural character.

Depending on a structure’s condition, restoration work may include mortar analysis, compatible material selection, traditional lime mortar applications, masonry cleaning, stabilization, and targeted repairs. The company’s “Repair Before Replacement” philosophy reflects its preference for retaining historic materials when repair is practical and appropriate.

This approach supports the preservation of Ohio’s churches, institutional buildings, residences, and other historic properties while helping owners address structural or moisture-related concerns.

Supporting the Skilled Trades

Beyond individual projects, Curatola advocates for safety, education, leadership, workforce development, and succession planning in construction. Through educational content, he shares perspectives on masonry science, historic preservation, business ownership, and the future of skilled trades.

“We’re not simply restoring buildings, we’re preserving history, protecting investments, and building organizations that will continue serving our communities for generations,” Curatola said.

Through its restoration experience, engineering-informed planning, and commitment to responsible craftsmanship, Curatola Masonry demonstrates the qualities recognized by the Best Commercial Masonry Contractor in Ohio of 2026 award from Best of Best Review.
