Aron Norton, owner and mason

Over 20 years in the masonry trade. We believe masonry is an art, and we take great pride in it.

The mason

From Seattle’s skyline to your fireplace

Aron spent 13 years as a Journeyman Bricklayer in the Local 1 Bricklayer and Allied Craftworkers Union, working on large-scale projects including:

  • The Amazon Building
  • Sound Transit
  • Bellevue Square Mall
  • Lincoln Square
  • The Shops at The Bravern
  • UW Stadium
  • Tahoma National Cemetery
  • Oculus

He won awards for both Best Craftsman and a 2nd place finish in the union Bricklayer 500 competition.

While he had a lot of success working commercially, his real passion for masonry is in residential homes, where there’s more room to be creative and build custom masonry projects.

I have been a specialty contractor for over 20 years, so when another mason backed out of our project last minute, I was extremely nervous. I started obtaining more bids. Many of the stonework contractors gave me high bids knowing my back was against the wall. I was referred to Aron by a mason who was no longer doing this type of work. Aron agreed to take on my project even though he had prior commitments. He knew I needed certain things done fast to keep progressing on my custom home build. By working long days, often well into the evening, they were able to finish their work ahead of schedule. Their work is impeccable. I am impressed by their work ethic, professionalism, and the fact he didn't exploit the position I was in. Aron finished our job ahead of schedule and for thousands less than anyone else, even after being brought in last minute. My only regret is that I don't take good enough photos to really show how nice everything looks. If you need stone or brick work done, this is the guy you should hire. Thank you Aron!

Aron came through when others would not. We had a relatively small job compared to others, yet Aron not only showed up on time to look at the job in order to provide a quote, he provided the quote later in the same day. When others said it would take a week or more to complete the work, Aron showed up with his entire crew and knocked the work out in two days. Moreover, his quote was $10,000 lower than our next closest quote. His work is flawless and well done. I highly recommend Aron for any brick/stone work that you may have.

I am the President of the Water Gardens HOA in Maple Valley. Our stone was falling away from the support wall. We obtain multiple bids and selected Cutting Edge. We couldn’t be more pleased. The work was perfect. They cleaned up after themselves each day which was so nice to see. The work and interaction with them was professional in every way. Hire this company and you can know you will have the best working for you.
