Speaking on Business: RJ Masonry

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For over 40 years, founders Robert Hicken and Paul Bailiff have led Utah-based RJ Masonry. Their work spans stone and masonry projects statewide, from historic restorations to civic and religious buildings. Co-owner and President, Robert Hicken, joins us with more. Robert Hicken: At RJ Masonry, our story began when I fell in love with masonry as a teenager and set out to build a company grounded in craftsmanship, service and integrity. Today, that commitment guides our team of more than 180 skilled professionals as we partner with architects, contractors and owners across Utah and beyond. From complex historic restorations to modern stone-architecture, our goal is the same on every brick, block, stone and masonry project we undertake: deliver exceptional quality through collaboration, innovation and meticulous attention to detail. We’ve had the privilege of contributing to projects such as the Salt Lake Temple Renovation, the Montage Deer Valley and the Salt Lake Performing Arts Center, where precision, coordination and respect for tradition are essential. Whether the job is large or small, or highly specialized, we bring a problem-solving mindset and a sincere dedication to exceeding expectations. That’s the standard we’ve built our reputation on for more than 40 years. Derek Miller: RJ Masonry has completed a variety of projects across Utah, including both public and private developments. Their work includes a focus on project timelines, safety practices and collaboration with clients. Visit RJMasonryInc.com. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
