Joe Cruz
President / Owner
From Almargem, Viseu Portugal, Mr. Joe Cruz spent his youth attending elementary school where he was ahead of his class as a naturally bright student.
From his youth, Mr. Cruz always strived to do his best! As the opportunity came in the early 70s for Joe to pursue a higher level of education, he was faced with a difficult decision early in life as to which direction he should take. He sacrificed his own desire for higher learning and listened to his heart. This shaped him into the man he is today - Businessman.
Mr. Joe Cruz began bricklaying as a laborer at age 13, and at 15 years young he was a foreman until he left his home country and moved to Canada in 1979. Joe’s first job in Canada was in roofing however soon after he continued in his original trade of Bricklaying here in Canada. By 1987, Joe had started his own business.
Over the years, he developed a reputation for excellence in his work and collaborations with other contractors and his employees.
Most recently in 2018, Mr. Cruz succeeded in the sole ownership of Blockwall Masonry 18 Inc. and leads the company today as President.
As President, Joe works extremely hard to manage his team and crews to ensure that every project is successfully complete & well done!
