Bloomington built out in the post-war decades, and its masonry shows it: block after block of 1950s–1970s ranches and split-levels with brick chimneys, brick-and-siding facades, planters and front stoops — the exact package now hitting the age where crowns crack, joints wash out and stoops settle. Add one of the metro's largest commercial bases along the I-494 strip and around the Penn-American district, and Bloomington keeps a masonry and concrete crew genuinely busy.
We work Bloomington end to end: chimney rebuilds and repair on the residential streets, brick and stoop repair, driveway replacement on slabs poured decades ago, and commercial masonry work for the property managers running the city's office, hotel and retail stock.

A chimney built in 1962 has now survived sixty-plus Minnesota winters, and most of them are showing it — mortar-wash crowns cracked through, top courses loose, caps missing. Bloomington's ranch stock was well built, which is why targeted work pays: a rebuild above the roofline or a proper repair-and-cap package resets the clock for decades. The same goes for the era's brick planters, stoops and veneer panels.
Driveways and walks from the same era are due too. Original slabs on thin base heave and crack panel by panel, and salt finishes the surface. We tear out and repour with compacted base and air-entrained mixes — the version of the driveway the sixties never poured.
Between the airport corridor, the 494 strip and the hospitality stock around the Mall of America, Bloomington runs an enormous amount of commercial building fabric — and masonry problems on occupied commercial properties need crews that respect operations. We sequence around entrances, protect below the work, and deliver scopes in writing so managers can phase across budgets.
Storefronts, hotel facades, office entries, church and school buildings — repointing, stone and lintel work, and full restoration scopes all run through the same process: assess on the wall, prioritize, execute, close out clean.
