Metro Masonry and Restoration is a Minneapolis masonry contractor. Chimney work leads what we do: full and partial rebuilds, crown and cap repair, stainless liners and repointing on stacks that have stood through decades of Minnesota winters. The same crews handle tuckpointing, brick repair, stone masonry, retaining walls and concrete on homes across the metro, and commercial masonry restoration on factories, apartment buildings, churches, schools and storefronts, with 20+ combined years of experience.
The projects on this site are our own: chimneys rebuilt above the roofline with matched brick and new crowns, church towers restored from boom lifts, commercial walls relaid course by course from scaffolds, and century-old brick walls taken down to sound masonry and rebuilt with matched units and reset stone. The before-and-after pairs in our work show how we operate: the goal is masonry that looks like it was always there and stays there.
The people who look at your building and scope the work are the people who do it. Call (320) 465-1161 and see for yourself. The assessment and estimate are free.
Minneapolis and the Twin Cities metro If a repair beats a rebuild, a scope can wait a season, or a budget fits a phased plan better, you hear it at the first visit. Masonry work runs on referrals, and you do not keep those by overselling.
Every estimate is written: the price, the timeline, the materials and matching, what gets demolished and hauled, and the urgent repairs separated from the work that can wait, so budgets go where the wall needs them.
Crowns, flashing, drainage, footings and full mortar joints are the parts you never see, and they are the reason masonry survives Minnesota or fails. We build them to last for decades.
Chimney rebuilds, repairs and liners, tuckpointing, brick repair and full building restoration. Matched brick, matched mortar, proper crowns and full joints, because that is why masonry lasts.
Freeze-thaw is the enemy of every wall in this state. Crowns that shed, joints struck to drain, air-entrained concrete, drainage behind every wall: details chosen for this climate, not a milder one.
Every estimate is written, with the price, timeline and scope spelled out. On larger projects we separate the urgent repairs from the work that can wait, so owners and property managers can plan the budget.
From a single chimney to an occupied apartment building, church or school. Lifts and scaffolds, site protection and daily cleanup on every job, because the standard does not change with the address.
From the first site visit to the final walk-through, here is how it goes.
We look at the masonry in person: what failed, why, and how far it has spread. On commercial buildings that means getting up on the wall, not a drive-by.
You get a written price and timeline. On larger projects the urgent repairs are separated from the work that can wait, so the budget goes where it is needed first.
Matched materials, full joints, proper crowns, solid bases and drainage. Occupied buildings stay open, the site is protected, and cleanup happens every day.
We walk the finished work with you: joints, brick and mortar matches, cleanup, the whole scope. The job is done when you have seen every part of it and signed off.
