Stone Mason & Stone Carving is built on a legacy of craftsmanship and passion for the art of stone. Founded by Klodian Sadikaj, a fourth-generation stonemason, our company combines deep-rooted tradition with modern techniques to create lasting works of art. Klodian’s journey in the stone industry began over 25 years ago, under the guidance of his father and brother, both skilled stonemasons. From a young age, he was immersed in the craft, which quickly grew into a lifelong passion.
Klodian’s curiosity and desire to expand his knowledge of stone led him to study and work in different cultures around the world. In Greece, he honed his skills in stone conservation and new construction under the mentorship of master artisans. His passion for stone carving and architecture then took him to Italy, where he immersed himself in the rich history of Roman-style stonework. There, he worked on the restoration of cathedrals and monuments, gaining invaluable experience in historical stone preservation.
In 2005, Klodian emigrated to the United States, bringing his expertise to the Northeast. In Boston, he worked on some of the region’s most prestigious residential and commercial projects, blending traditional stone techniques with modern innovations. His commitment to excellence and his love for stone continue to drive him as he bridges the ancient art of stone carving with contemporary stone masonry.
At Stone Mason & Stone Carving, we strive for the highest standards of craftsmanship, providing unparalleled stonework for both new and historical buildings. Our expertise extends beyond construction and restoration; we offer consulting services for building assessments, monument maintenance, and stone material recommendations.
