Midwest Masonry

What Midwest Masonry does

Midwest Masonry, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned commercial masonry subcontractor headquartered at 1335 Wilhelm Rd, Mundelein, Illinois, serving the Chicagoland area and broader Midwest. Founded in 1972 by Frank A. Dziadus — a 50-plus-year member of the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) union who serves as President — the firm is a signatory union contractor delivering brick, CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit), stone, and masonry restoration services for new and existing commercial structures. End markets served include Education, Industrial/Commercial, Multi-Family Housing, Religious/Government, and Retail, with the firm operating as a subcontractor to general contractors on a project-by-project basis.

The company's service portfolio is centered on four core offerings: Brick Masonry, CMU Masonry (including load-bearing, non-load-bearing, burnished, and glazed applications), Stone Masonry (cast stone, limestone, granite), and Restoration Services for existing masonry structures. Execution is delivered by union-certified BAC masons, with the firm positioning preconstruction planning, project logistics, and scheduling coordination as its primary differentiators. No proprietary technology, software products, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; the business is fundamentally a craft-labor service operation whose competitive identity is built on long-tenured GC relationships and union labor access.

Commercially, Midwest Masonry operates a sales-led B2B model in which revenue is generated through one-time project contracts with general contractors and property developers, priced on a custom per-project basis. GTM is relationship-driven, relying on industry reputation, word-of-mouth referrals from named customers such as Valenti Builders, W.B. Olson, Harbour Contractors, and W.A. Randolph, and active membership in six industry associations (MCAGC, MCAA, GLCA, IMI, MAC, Excellence in Masonry). Marketing is minimal — primarily a website with portfolio, testimonials, and contact forms — and no pricing is publicly disclosed. The firm has 101–250 employees, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no M&A history, and is led by a multi-generational Dziadus family management team including President Frank A. Dziadus, VP Cynthia S. Dziadus, Executive VP Pamela C. Field, and Estimator/Project Manager Frank J. Dziadus.
