Shumock Masonry was founded in 1980 in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pa. At the age of 26 years old Mark J. Shumock had a better idea than working for some one else. He set out to start his own masonry company. Unknowingly lacking a lot of refined masonry skills Mr. Shumock established his reputation via being hands-on concentrating on expedient - complete service. Now, more than 24 years later, located in rural Bucks County , Pennsylvania the hands on expedient service is still the foundation of his masonry business. Combine that with the refined mastery of the craft and the dedicated employees (some of which have been with the company for some 20 years). |

Today - 24 years later:
Shumock still practices hands-on masonry, now at
51 he and his masons say they're better than they have ever been, and
getting better every day. By mastering his craft he now feels an
obligation to teach the young masons the right way in hopes they will some
day do the same. If it wasn't for his love of the trade there would be a
few less master artisans than there are today.
The most particular customers employ Shumock Masonry today. Specializing in conventional masonry fireplaces his craftsmen employ the old world techniques along with contemporary technical adaptations and modifications. Accruing a flawless reputation for building over 1000 fireplaces that function and burn properly. Aside from fireplaces a strong demand exists for their meticulous attention to installing custom brick work and stone work, focusing on the smallest of details. With the accumulated portfolio of satisfied customers and their high quality reputation Shumock Masonry chooses to work for the most discriminate clientele. |

Another birth in a garage!
In 1991 Mr. Shumock gave birth to Pyro Place. Using just a pencil, piece
of paper and his expertise he doodled his way to a concept ahead of its
time. Along with some entrusted employees he began his R & D in his
garage. A concept, alone at its conception had no examples in its
technology field to resource. Design development took upwards of 2 years
until the technology received a U.S. Patent in 1993. Continued research
and development resulted in the successful testing for functionality and
fire safety at Underwriters Laboratories in Northbrook, Ill. in 1996.
Henceforth receiving a U.L. Listing, allowing the Pyro Place to bear the
world recognized
 . The rest is
history! |
