Building On Generations of Masonry Excellence
Cousins David Thompson and Robert (Thom) Heck come from a long line of masons. They spent their earliest years playing in their family's shop and listening to skilled craftsmen discuss the day's masonry projects. It's not surprising that they wound up running one of the most successful masonry contracting companies in Southeastern PA, with projects throughout the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys, New Jersey and Delaware.
The Thompson family started as brick manufacturers in the late 1800s with the Royersford firm of Thompson & Wills. The company thrived for almost a hundred years. In 1987, Bob Thompson continued the family legacy when he founded Thompson Masonry in Harleysville, PA with about a dozen employees and a passion to build. In 2006, he turned the business over to his son David Thompson and Thom Heck.

A Winning Philosophy for Doing Business
The company's principals have a simple philosophy for running the business. "We like to deal with others as we'd like to be dealt with ourselves: straight up and honest," explains David and Thom. "When Thompson Masonry does a project, we like to think everybody wins. The general contractor gets the best job at the best price. Our employees get a fair wage from a firm that treats them right. The end user client gets a beautiful project. And we get the satisfaction of knowing we've built another piece of history."
