About us
Downing Bros Construction grew out of RJ Downing Masonry, a Marine-owned masonry practice run by our father, Robert Downing. We spent 15 years learning the trade there, and in 2025 we built our own company.
We're a small, dedicated crew chasing the never-ending goal of perfection in every stone, brick and joint.
