About
Our History
Artistik Masonry was founded over thirty years ago by master mason Joe Barletta, whose dedication to the craft has shaped hundreds of homes and commercial projects across the Greater Hamilton Area. From early foundations to large-scale residential developments, Joe built his reputation on skill, integrity, and a deep respect for the traditions of masonry. Over the decades, he and his team have completed stone, brick, and block work for everything from custom homes to hotels, multi-building residential communities, and major commercial sites—including the Amazon warehouse in Hamilton. Many of the relationships forged with local developers span generations, reflecting both trust and consistency in workmanship.
Today, that same spirit of craftsmanship continues through the next generation. Joe’s sons—Anthony, Luca, and Niko—are stepping into the legacy, learning directly from their father as they work to master every aspect of the trade. Each brings their own strengths and passion to the business, carrying forward the values that have defined Artistik from the start: precision, pride, and an unwavering commitment to quality. This generational transition isn’t just symbolic; it represents the evolution of a long-standing family business that intends to serve the community for decades to come.
While masonry remains at the heart of what they do, Artistik Masonry has expanded its expertise into more specialized and highly customized work. The team has become known for creating outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, stone fireplaces, and specialty hardscape features that elevate backyards into functional, high-end living spaces. These builds blend structural masonry with design, craftsmanship, and creativity—an ideal showcase for the team’s unique skill set.
With deep roots in Hamilton and a reputation built over thirty years, Artistik Masonry stands as a family business committed to quality, tradition, and innovation. Whether it’s a large commercial project, a custom residential build, or a specialty outdoor feature, the Barletta family approaches every job with the same level of care and professionalism. Their mission is simple: to honor the craft, serve the community, and keep the legacy of true masonry alive for future generations.
