South St. Paul is a working river town with the housing stock to prove it: block after block of early-1900s houses stepping up the bluff from the Mississippi, built in the stockyards era and still standing on their original masonry: brick chimneys, porch piers, foundation walls and front steps. It holds one of the metro’s densest concentrations of the masonry we repair, and it is one of the areas where we work most.
Our South St. Paul work is the classic restoration lineup: chimney rebuilds and repair, tuckpointing, brick and porch repair, and front steps rebuilt safe and level, plus commercial facade work along Concord Street and the business district.

Hundred-year-old houses on a river bluff take weather from every direction, and their masonry shows the full catalog: chimneys with spent crowns and soft joints, porch piers settling out of plumb, front steps worn hollow, foundation courses shedding mortar. All of it is fixable, and fixing it correctly, with matched brick, matched mortar, proper crowns and caps, is the difference between maintenance and slow demolition.
We rebuild the chimneys above the roofline, repoint walls and foundations to match the original, and put porches and steps back plumb and solid. The brick side of that work is detailed on our brick repair in South St. Paul page. The before-and-after pairs in our gallery show what that looks like. A few miles north, chimney repair in St. Paul covers the city's older stacks, and everything we do in St. Paul is on its own page.
South St. Paul’s commercial fabric along Concord and through the old business district is brick from the same era as the houses — storefronts, corner buildings and institutional walls that need parapet, sign-band and elevation work as they age. We run those scopes with the same restoration process we use across the metro: an on-site assessment, a prioritized written scope, and work sequenced around open businesses.
Because these blocks are dense and access is tight, logistics matter: protection over sidewalks, staged scaffolds and a clean site every night.
