A Legacy Set in Stone
Hutson Masonry continues a multi-generational tradition of excellence, providing the Methow Valley with premier stone and tile artistry.
Luke Hutson
Owner
Luke Hutson didn’t just start a business; he inherited a standard. After nearly a decade mastering stone and tile in Spokane, Luke returned to his hometown of Twisp to work alongside Dave Christensen—the legendary mason responsible for the iconic stonework at Sun Mountain Lodge and the Tice Ranch. When Dave retired after 30 years, he didn’t just sell Luke his tools; he passed him the torch.
Building on that foundation, Luke was also privileged to work with and be mentored by another valley masonry legend, Jim Monaghan. Over the course of several years, Monaghan’s mentorship furthered Luke’s technical skillset and instilled a deeper level of trade knowledge that can only be passed down through generations of hands-on experience.
Today, as the owner of Hutson Masonry LLC, Luke has spent over 20 years perfecting a trade that requires as much artistic vision as it does physical endurance. He is known throughout Okanogan and Chelan Counties not just for his punctuality and professional reliability, but for his ‘natural ability’ to see the perfect fit in a stack of stone before it’s even been cut.
The “Artisan” Philosophy
Luke specializes in what he calls ‘Artisan Quality Craftsmanship.’ While others focus on production-speed housing, Luke caters to high-end residential clients who view their homes as statement pieces.
“I don’t just build; I create statement pieces. If you want a fireplace that tells a story, you call Hutson Masonry.”
Whether it’s a full-size wood-burning fireplace, intricate glass block installations, or custom-floated shower pans, his work is designed to be the heart of the home—the one feature built to outlast the house itself.
Have Trowel, Will Travel
While his roots are deep in the Methow Valley, Luke’s reputation for excellence knows no borders. Under the mantra ‘Have Trowel, Will Travel,’ he is available for specialized masonry and luxury tile projects across the Northwest and beyond—from the rugged landscapes of Alaska to high-end estates in Utah and Montana. If a project demands a master’s touch, Luke is willing to go wherever the craft takes him.
Beyond the Trowel
Homegrown & Family Focused
When he isn’t risking his neck on a chimney repair or hand-selecting river rock for a custom gazebo, Luke is a dedicated family man. He spends his free time renovating his 1968 family home—a multi-generational project he is determined to finish with his own hands.
A lifelong Northwest native, Luke spends his winters downhill skiing with his family and remains a die-hard Seahawks fan. He believes in the value of persistence, the beauty of the Valley, and the satisfaction of a day’s work done right.
