Branden Pittman is a very busy man these days. And thats perfectly fine with him.
He fully knows and appreciates his blessings, because he has traveled a long road to reach this moment in time, one in which hes become a proud entrepreneur. Along that path to today, Pittman has learned a great deal about life, loss and inspiration, all of which he has incorporated into his business, known as Pittman Masonry Construction.
Pittman Masonry Construction, LLC, was officially instituted on May 25, 2021, specializing in stone veneer installations, block foundations, and a wide array of customization work in both home and business designs, to name just a few. Pittman Masonry has rapidly developed a diverse customer base among homeowners and contractors alike, largely due to their family-oriented focus and dedication to quality and detail.
I feel that actions speak louder than words, and with that being said, we strive to prove our work ethic and show what we here at Pittman Masonry can do, Pittman says. I want all of my clients and contractors to know that Pittman Masonry Construction offers quality you can trust. We take pride in all the work we do.
Yet the foundation of Pittman Masonry is about far more than just brick and stone. Pittman grew up in the city of Plymouth, and was raised with the values of a strong and loving family that instilled in him the importance of workmanship. Even after the loss of one of his greatest role models, those early lessons live on.
Growing up, my father owned and operated two businesses, and for me, I just thought how amazing the feeling was to be able to help dad, and also work for what I wanted, which was to race, Pittman recalls. He had always had a passion for racing but could never afford it growing up, so one of his goals was to be able to give me a chance to live out a dream that he had personally. After two long years of trying to get the businesses going, he eventually had someone run the businesses and he went back to work full time as a lineman.
Then along came 2018 and Pittmans world spun entirely off its axis when his beloved father died.
With the passing of my father, I struggled with some personal issues and I couldnt keep a stable job because I always found myself losing interest after a month or two, Pittman says. I always found myself asking questions like, Am I even making him proud, or, What can I do and be successful and learn?
Pittmans mother then aligned herself with her sons desire to achieve and, as Pittman describes it, has done everything she possibly can do to help me open up my own business. His career trajectory has launched skyward from that time forward.
Family is everything to me, and whether youre a colleague, contractor or homeowner, you will be treated like family and nothing less, Pittman promises. We offer free estimates, and have fast response times to calls that come in through the phone.
In just the past year alone, Pittman Masonry Construction has been buzzing with excitement and productivity. A new work truck and trailer have been added to the business, and they have earned high accolades for creating the signage for Swan Lake Chophouse. Business has definitely grown in the past year, Pittman says. However, we can continue to get better and get our name out there. He is hoping to hire two to three new employees this year, acquire another truck and trailer for the fleet, and work alongside more contractors.
I have a huge passion for masonry work, as I learned a lot from watching my father and getting my hands dirty helping whenever I could, or whenever he needed my help, he says. You can do anything you put your mind to. I hope to leave all my hard work behind for my children so that they can keep on the Pittman legacy.
