BUILDING MORE THAN STRUCTURES
CHANGING LIVES IN ST. LOUIS
At McGee Masonry, our work is more than brick and mortar. It’s about restoration, reconciliation, and revitalization. Founded in 2019 by Jonathan McGee, our company is rooted in faith, resilience, and a deep commitment to serving the St. Louis community.
Jonathan’s journey began in the West End, one of St. Louis’ most challenging neighborhoods.
As a 12-year-old, he discovered his passion for construction through Harambee Youth Training, where he learned tuckpointing, grinding, and bricklaying under the guidance of Aaron Henning. These formative years taught him not only technical skills but also self-pride, discipline, and the value of hard work.
By the age of 17, despite personal challenges, Jonathan was managing crews at Harambee. His leadership and vision grew, and in 2019, he took the leap to establish McGee Masonry. What started as a small operation has since blossomed into a thriving company with a mission to rebuild not just homes but also lives and communities.
OUR MISSION
McGee Masonry specializes in residential and commercial masonry, focusing on excellence and integrity in every project. Beyond construction, we are committed to:
Empowering the Next Generation
Training and mentoring local youth through programs like Job Corps, Harambee, and SLATE to build their skills and confidence.
Revitalizing Our Community
Supporting projects like Habitat for Humanity and providing free masonry services to elderly neighbors and single parents in need.
Building
Relationships
Earning trust through quality craftsmanship and long-term client partnerships.
The West End isn’t just where we work; it’s where we live and give back. Jonathan’s vision for McGee Masonry is deeply tied to his roots. Growing up surrounded by vacant homes and overgrown lots, he dreamed of transforming his community into a place of beauty, opportunity, and hope. Today, McGee Masonry is making that dream a reality—one brick, one home, and one life at a time
Why we do it
our impact
Our work has touched lives in profound ways:
Helping employees transition from homelessness to homeownership.
Mentoring team members to achieve personal and professional milestones.
Supporting the rehabilitation of historic St. Louis neighborhoods.
McGee Masonry is just getting started. We aim to become one of the largest non union masonry companies in St. Louis by hiring and training local youth to redevelop the community. Our future plans include acquiring properties for renovation, expanding our operations, and hosting more community-focused events.
Looking Ahead
message from our founder
I believe the only way to see change is to help create it. McGee Masonry is more than a business—it’s a mission to rebuild the lives and neighborhoods that shaped me. With every project, we aim to inspire, empower, and leave a lasting impact on St. Louis.
