Blaine spreads across the flat, open north metro — a city that grew in big waves from the 1970s ramblers of its south side to The Lakes and the newer neighborhoods around the National Sports Center. Flat land spares Blaine the retaining-wall drama of the river suburbs, but Minnesota winters do not spare anything else: chimneys from every construction wave, brick and veneer details, and mile after mile of residential concrete all age on the same freeze-thaw schedule.
Metro Masonry covers Blaine with chimney rebuilds and repair, brick and veneer repair, tuckpointing, and concrete driveways, patios and steps — with commercial work along the Highway 65 and 35W corridors handled on the same written-scope process as the rest of the metro.

South Blaine's 1970s stock is deep into chimney-rebuild territory: sixty-year-old stacks with spent crowns and softening joints. The middle waves need the repair package — crowns, caps, repointing on weather faces. And the newest neighborhoods are just entering first-cycle work, mostly caps, small joints and veneer details. Same climate, three different scopes; we carry all three on the truck.
Blaine’s wide-open exposure matters too — wind-driven rain and unshaded freeze cycles work masonry harder than sheltered city lots. Weather-face elevations here often need repointing seasons before the protected sides do, which is why we quote by the wall, not by the house.
Flat lots and long frontages make Blaine a concrete city: driveways, garage aprons, walks and patios everywhere, most poured during their neighborhood’s original build-out. The failure pattern is uniform — base settling, panel cracking, salt scaling — and so is the fix: tear out, compact real base, repour air-entrained, joint cleanly, seal before winter.
We run that program across Blaine along with steps and stoops, garage and shop slabs, and the flatwork around the city’s commercial strips. If a slab is still sound, we say so — replacement gets recommended when the base is gone, not because a crew needs a pour.

Crown repair, joint repointing, spalled brick replacement, stainless caps and chimney liner systems — the fixes that stop water before it forces a rebuild.

Failed mortar ground out and repointed to match the original — on chimneys, houses, and full commercial elevations. The fix that saves the wall you already have.
Learn More
Spalled brick cut out and replaced, cracks stitched, bowed sections rebuilt, porch piers and steps restored — matched so the repair does not read as one.
