Meet the Team
Chris Van Kessel
Chris studied under a master Dutch craftsman thereafter venturing out on his own as a fully licensed brick and stone mason. Chris has always dreamt of doing some of his own building so in 2011 he decided to get his builders license and add this to his line of work. Now Chris builds beautiful custom houses in addition to being a masonry contractor. Integrity and quality workmanship have been the hallmarks of Chris and the company he started more than two decades ago.
Lori Van Kessel
Lori has been a critical part of Van Kessel Masonry since it opened its doors in 1987. You can find her working with Chris with everything from estimating, designing, scheduling to general office administration. Lori even pitched in on the job site, as a labourer, for 5 years off and on, while Justin and Trevor were going to school for their apprenticeships.
Justin Van Kessel
Following in his father’s footsteps Justin is fully licensed as a mason and was at the top of his class.
Trevor Van Kessel
Like his father and his brother, Trevor became a fully licensed mason after competing in a bricklaying competition in 2011.
