Commercial masonry restoration is a major part of our work in Minneapolis, Bloomington, Burnsville and across the Twin Cities metro: factories, apartment buildings, churches, schools and storefronts whose brick and stone have taken decades of Minnesota freeze-thaw. We rebuild bowed and spalled walls, reset and replace stone banding, copings and lintels, rebuild parapets, and repoint mortar joints across full elevations. Every project is scoped in writing and sequenced around your operations.
Property managers and general contractors call us because a masonry problem on a commercial building rarely stays cosmetic. Open joints and cracked banding let water into the wall system, and every winter cycle widens the damage. We assess what is actually failing, separate must-fix from can-wait so the budget goes where the wall needs it, and put a crew on scaffolds or lifts that shows up until the scope is done.
Tell us about your project and we’ll get right back to you.
A restoration scope on a commercial building has to answer three questions fast: what is failing, what does it cost to fix right, and how long is a crew on site. Our process starts with an on-site assessment of the wall and ends with a written scope broken into priorities, so an owner or board can phase the work across budgets.
Most of our commercial work happens on occupied buildings. Tenants keep their entrances, schools keep their schedules, and congregations keep their Sundays. Ground protection, overhead protection and daily cleanup are part of the scope, not extras. When the scaffolding comes down, we walk the finished work with you, punch list in hand.
Every building type fails its own way. Industrial walls take vibration and impact along with weather; church towers and steeples concentrate water damage high where nobody sees it until stone starts moving; schools show their age at banding, sills and entry surrounds; apartment buildings spread small problems across a lot of wall. We have put crews, lifts and scaffolds on all of them across the Twin Cities. Stone-specific work, from banding and sills to full limestone and stone repair, has its own page.
Older Minneapolis and St. Paul buildings also deserve matching done right. Brick from 1910 does not come off a modern pallet — blending replacement brick, stone and mortar color into original work is half sourcing and half craft, and it is the difference between a repair that disappears and one you can see from the street. Where walls are too far gone, we rebuild them to match what was there.
Minnesota is one of the hardest climates in the country on masonry. Water gets into a hairline joint in October, freezes and expands through March, and by spring the hairline is an open crack shedding mortar. One more season can be the difference between repointing a wall and rebuilding it — which is why we scope commercial work fast and get ahead of the freeze.
If you manage a property and something looks off, such as a stair-step crack, white efflorescence staining, a stone band with a shadow line under it, or brick faces popping off, send us photos and we will tell you whether it needs a crew this season or can wait. The assessment is free.

(320) 465-1161From 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.

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.
