What we do
Masonry demands more than making it look right.

Founder & lead mason
Led by Lee Rankin and his crew.
Lee founded Stone Worx Masonry in 2016. Ten years later, he leads a trusted crew serving homeowners, contractors, commercial properties and heritage stakeholders throughout Kingston and Eastern Ontario.
Stone Worx scales its crew to suit the project, working with skilled masons and trusted tradespeople to take on everything from detailed residential repairs to larger commercial and heritage scopes.
Lee entered the trade at 16, completed formal masonry training at St. Lawrence College and apprenticed with one of Ontario’s leading restoration masonry companies. He built Stone Worx around skilled, honest work without lowering the standard.
Over the years, Stone Worx has been trusted by clients including the Department of National Defence, Queen’s University, the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), heritage organizations, condominium corporations and managers, architects, builders and developers, property management companies, churches, charities and owners of high-value private residences.
His community work includes being entrusted by a respected local organization with the careful installation of commemorative plaques and ongoing general maintenance at its Wall of Honour—responsibility that demands precision and respect for the setting.
Beyond the trade, Lee served for seven years as a volunteer firefighter with South Frontenac Fire Rescue and remains active in the local running community through the Kingston Road Runners Association.
