One brick at a time, he built a business.
A brick layer since the 1950’s, Ralph E. Tolbert began his career working for a company that built house foundations. Giving families a solid foundation was a fulfilling occupation, but Ralph saw an opportunity to start his own company. In 1960 Ralph resigned from his position and pursued his own company. The rest is history.
A business built on knowledge, pride and a true sense of workmanship was to be the foundation of the business as it continued to grow and prosper through the years.
A family owned and operated company rooted deep in quality and excellence, Ralph E. Tolbert Masonry began in the ‘60s with a mission to reach people and give them the beginning of their own history. Valuing a building’s integrity so whether it’s restoring an architectural structure or constructing a new one, they carefully lay each brick, block and stone with care.
The company has grown over three generations, they welcome employees and customers with welcoming arms, treating all like family. A trusted staple in residential, commercial and industrial communities, they guarantee that when a job is done, it is done.
President
Currently the business is being managed by the second generation, President Kurt Tolbert. Growing up in the family business, Kurt Tolbert began working alongside the other laborers in 1982. Over the years he learned how to lay brick and block, was promoted to Lift Operator, Foreman and Project Manager. Currently he serves as President and Project Manager. Over the past 43 years and multiple generations of working with his family his passion is the same: Doing a great job for clients and seeing they are pleased with the work and price when it is complete. When he isn’t working, Kurt enjoys socializing with friends and spending time outdoors golfing and hunting.

Working his way up from laborer to Mason, then Foreman, Justin now helps run the crews as Project Manager, in addition to currently serving as Vice President. Efficiently overseeing the details and workers to ensure all projects are operating as planned, he plays a vital role in day-to-day and big picture projects.
