Our Story—
Five Generations of Excellence

At Galati & Sons, tuckpointing isn’t just a trade for us, it’s a family legacy.

Galati & Sons was started in 1935 by Italian immigrant Sam Galati Sr. His vision and relentless pursuit of the American dream spawned a legacy that has been carried on in the Galati Family for five generations. Steeped in tradition, Dan Galati has led Galati & Sons for nearly four decades, delivering the art of tuckpointing and developing strong customer relationships.

We’ve built a reputation as St. Louis’ premier choice for residential and commercial tuckpointing, brickwork, chimney repairs, and masonry waterproofing. As a family-owned and operated business, we take great pride in our craft and the personalized service we offer.

When you work with Galati & Sons, you’re not just hiring a masonry contractor, you’re partnering with a team rooted in tradition, integrity, and a deep connection to the St. Louis area. We’re here to stay and we’ll continue to earn your business with each and every project.
