Masonry: Your Company's Diverse Portfolio
Masonry: Your company completes everything from commercial and residential masonry to historical restoration and landscaping. Tell us how you've amassed such a diverse portfolio.
Johnson: That was kind of a combination of need and interest. On the need side, it's a fact that, in this area you have to be versatile. We don't have the volume of work of any one type to keep busy. Having a diverse scope of work helps a lot.
On the interest side, we especially run into the historic restoration work. It comes from a respect for the effort put into the older masonry structures. And I think that we feel an obligation to repair them to rebuild the masonry from the time when there was no doubt that this was the premier building product. It was definitely the best product then, and it still is today.
Masonry: Wyoming faces about six months out of the year with temperatures below freezing. How do you deal with these temperatures when you're completing masonry work for a living?
Johnson: It's like that for the whole northern band of the country. We've been blessed out here in a way because we're in somewhat of a drought situation, and the last eight or 10 years have been very mild winters.
