Common Questions About Masonry Work

These are the questions Twin Cities homeowners ask us most: what we build, how repairs work, what drives cost, and when permits come into play. If yours is not here, call us and ask.

What areas do you serve?
We work across Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Twin Cities metro: Bloomington, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Shakopee, Maple Grove, Blaine, Anoka, South St. Paul, Edina, St. Louis Park, Stillwater and the surrounding communities. If you are anywhere in the metro, call and we will let you know whether your project fits our schedule.
What services do you offer?
Chimney rebuilds, chimney repair, chimney liners, crowns and caps, tuckpointing, brick and masonry repair and stone masonry for homes, plus commercial masonry restoration for factories, apartment buildings, churches, schools and storefronts. We also build retaining walls, walkways and steps, and pour concrete driveways and flatwork.
Do you work for property managers and general contractors?
Yes. We work directly for property managers, associations and building owners, and as the masonry scope under general contractors. You get an on-site assessment, a written prioritized scope, crews that work around occupied buildings, and a final walk-through.
Do you handle repairs, or only bigger projects?
Both. A few spalled bricks, a cracked crown or a settling stoop are regular jobs for us, and small repairs are how big problems get prevented. If the masonry can be saved with repair, that is what we quote. If it is past saving, we say so and price the right fix.
How much will my project cost?
An accurate masonry estimate starts with seeing the work in person, because the price depends on the details: how far the deterioration runs, height and access, matching requirements, and what is underneath. We assess, talk through the options, and give you a written price. We do not guess over the phone.
Can you match my existing brick and mortar?
Yes. Matching is a core skill of restoration work: brick matched on size, color range and texture, mortar matched on color, joint profile and, on older buildings, hardness. On historic walls we approve a sample area before running the full scope, so the repair blends in.
How long does a typical project take?
Small repairs run a day or two. Chimney rebuilds typically run a few days once scaffolding is up. Driveways go from tear-out to drivable in about a week. Commercial restoration scopes are phased and scheduled around your building. You get a realistic timeline with the estimate, and we tell you about anything unexpected as soon as it comes up.
