About Dean

Bruno Custom Masonry was founded by Dean Bruno with a passion for Old World Craftsmanship and timeless designs. Dean Travels all over the region to get inspiration to recreate what European master masons built in the yesteryear. Whether it is the Mansions of Newport, RI or a small quaint village off the beaten path, this is where you can find Dean in the off seasons where his visions for architectural beauty and landscaping designs take shape. Deans passion for old world architecture has transformed his company to a renowned name known for superior craftsmanship, style and timeless design.

Although only 31 years old, he has millions of dollars worth of projects under his belt ranging from cozy bluestone backyard courtyards to six figure multifaceted projects. Dean's Ability to create a timeless masterpiece from just a thought and careful client consultation has made him a leader in the outdoor design/build field. While other companies need to pay costly designers to come up with ideas, Dean's experience and vision doubtlessly have reduced his clients budgets by thousands of dollars.

Outdoor architecture is an extension of your interior living space and should have the same cozy ambiance. Creating brick and stone walls, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces are his forte. Just like your interior living room is an extension of the owner's passions and designs, the same applies to a home's outdoor living space. While most contractors just create the same hardscape in every backyard to save on cost, Bruno Custom Masonry does the complete opposite, creating one-of-a-kind projects, and adds character and most importantly that feeling of old world charm in every project he takes on. Of course resale is very important, and by working with Dean, you have insured your home's value for years to come.

All projects begin with a free consultation. As is important in any relationship, the success of any project begins with a vision. To bring that vision to reality takes a clear understanding of a clients needs, their wants, and their dreams. It is through this process of exploring the possibilities that dreams do in fact become a reality, and it's here where working with Dean shines. A relationship built on common goals with open communication and accountability is a recipe that insures success.

Dean's clients are often surprised when he recommend a smaller patio than originally envisioned yet adds stone walls or ironwork to create the "wow" factor so often lost in today's hardscapes. Dean educates his clients to focus on the quality of the construction and the materials used rather than the size or square footage of the project. The small details such as pattern layout, mixing material, lighting at night and the sound of an old world fountain adds the finishing touch to every project.

Dean also owns another company, Luxury Outdoor Spaces, which designs and builds fine landscapes, custom woodworking, outdoor decor and furnishings that put the finishing touches on our masonry creations. Your vision, combined with Dean's experience and talent, will leave you breathless, and when it's all said and done... isn't that what you want for your home? Dean's clients unequivocally have said yes. Please don't hesitate to ask for a complete list of references and a portfolio of Dean's masterpieces.
