AVEX Masonry

About AVEX Masonry

Four in the morning on New Park Avenue is the emptiest and best address in West Hartford: sodium light, falling snow, nobody yet. AVEX Masonry is out in it, working the Elmwood end of town while the rest of the block is still dark — plow down, windrow pushed clean to the curb line, the lot squared off before the first delivery truck swings in. There is a satisfaction in that specific geometry, the straight edge of bare pavement against banked white, that anyone who has ever set stone will recognize. Walks get shoveled to the concrete, steps get cleared to the tread, and salt goes where the afternoon melt will run and freeze again after dark. By sunrise the property looks like the storm went around it.
