THREE GENERATIONS
OF MASONRY CONTRACTORS
Our Legacy
A family legacy spanning over 80 years with more than three decades of experience in masonry restoration.
Starting in the late 1940s, Stanley R. Dapkus started his masonry career in New York City. He would eventually become a registered steeplejack and move to Detroit. Over the years he worked for different local firms in Detroit and Ohio until he started his own masonry company. Stanley had two sons who would follow his lead in the masonry industry.
His grandson, Joseph M. Dapkus Jr., founded JMD Building Restoration which continues to provide the same exceptional masonry restoration services to Metro-Detroit today.
Our Present
JMD Building Restoration has grown exponentially over the years to a workforce of 50 masonry restoration & preservation specialists. Headquartered in Detroit, JMD has become a beacon of expertise and excellence in the art of revitalizing historic structures & improving local businesses in the tri-county area. With a passion for preserving Detroit's rich architectural heritage, this team of skilled masons, restoration experts, and craftsmen meticulously restore and protect the city's iconic landmarks, from churches and industrial facilities to grandiose university buildings.
