New options in building By Della BattsDaily Herald Staff Writer GASTON — “This is a beautiful building,” said Gaston’s Mayor pro Tem Louise Bailey. “We’re really lucky they chose to come to Gaston.” Bailey, area dignitaries, members of the Northampton County Chamber of Commerce and neighbors were at the grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony for Mason Builders at 238 Roanoke Rapids Road, Highway 48, in Gaston. Bailey welcomed business owners Bernard and William Mason to the community and wished them much success. Visitors were given a tour of the facilities along with a presentation, treated to a reception and had an opportunity to meet the Mason brothers and their family. The Masons are originally from Henrico, sons of Irene Boyd Mason and William Mason Sr. They said they appreciate their family and look forward to working close to home. The Mason building houses Mason Builders LLC, a turn-key building and contracting firm. They can help with every phase of building your new home or office — from the planning stages and finding financing through the building process to the day the last worker leaves the site and you move in. Bernard said his firm handles residential, commercial and industrial building. “Nothing is too large or small.” William is vice president of the Mason Builders and handles all the electrical and electrical engineering aspects for their clients. Also, William owns MG Solutions, which designs Web sites and hosts online education systems. This firm provides distance learning education packages for several large colleges and universities. Innovations, another company housed in the building, is a consulting and design firm owned by Stanley King. All of the men hold extensive credentials and offer referrals. Bernard had some thanks he wanted to share, “ I just want to say how much we appreciate all the support from the town of Gaston. They were there to help us with anything we needed. They have been right there for us. We also appreciate all the support from the Northampton County Chamber and we really appreciate our staff, our subcontractors and daily employees. We are probably one of the better contractors in the area because of the people that work for us.” Mason Builders is open Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. If you would like more information call (252) 535-0993, or visit masonbuildersnc.com. |
