Pittsburgh and the North Hills
Mike Zokaites, and the crew he runs
Mike Zokaites began at a young age as a bricklayer, and that is where the interest in this trade actually came from. He founded M. Zokaites Masonry to bring that same craft to his own community, and decades on he is still hands on: the day to day leadership, the problem solving on a tricky job, and an active hand on the tools when a project calls for it.
Hands on the work, not just the business
A small crew, and an owner who still shows up
Zokaites Masonry stays a close knit small crew on purpose. Mike is the one who comes out to look at your chimney, foundation or wall before anything is priced, because on masonry the difference between a repoint and a rebuild is something you have to get up close to see.
That is craftsmanship and integrity over volume: fewer jobs running at once, each one looked at properly, colour and mortar matched to what is already on the house rather than whatever is on the truck.
What that actually means for you
How the crew works a job
Based in the North Hills, working across Pittsburgh and the North Hills and the rest of Allegheny County, on both residential and commercial jobs, new construction and restoration alike.
- Fully licensed and insured, PA contractor licence PA121063
- Free on site estimates, usually within about two weeks of your call
- A close knit small crew rather than a rotating roster of subs
- Colour and brick matching on repairs to older structures, so a patch does not read as a patch
- Quick turnarounds, with efficient, clean, low dust working practices
- A safety conscious approach carried through on every project
What being reachable actually looks like
Two customers, in their own words
“They actually answered when calling for a quote for re-pointing our chimney, which wasn’t the case for others in the area. Mike came over to do a quote shortly thereafter.”
“Mike Z. kept in contact with me with the progress during the process.”
