American Masonry & General Contracting


With over 30 years, of experience in commercial, residential, and as a specialty  C-29 Masonry contractor, C-8 Concrete Contractor, we strive to meet our client's needs and desires to get the job completed to their satisfaction. We also carry a "B" General Contractor class.

Our company is from a long line of contractors dating back to 1955, the founder, Bob Gerritsen, of "Gerritsen Masonry" raised 4 boys in the industry all of which contracted for several years and then moved on with families and new careers. Being the 3rd son in line I have been working in the industry for over 40 years, only to have taken a 4 year break, after high school, to serve in the United States Air Force, then back into construction. In 1986 American Masonry and General contracting came to life. I now have a third generation son who is learning the business and eventually I will hand it off to him. 

The Gerritsen Masonry company still has the same number (805) 527-8943 and is now represented by Jamie Gerritsen of American Masonry. Our number of course is (805) 581-3424
