Repair • Restoration • New Construction
Serving Minneapolis and the Northern Suburbs. I am a Bricklayer with 10+ years experience. I specialize in new and existing brick, block and stone masonry structures.
Finding honest and affordable craftmanship is hard to come by these days. With the knowledge and expertise I've gained, I would be honored to be a part of your next masonry endeavor.
REPAIR - Masonry's single greatest enemy is water intrusion. All exterior structures take some form of a beating during these Minnesota winters, especially structures above the roof. Freezing temps and icy snow not only can create major issues for your chimney, but can cause harm to interior components as well. Preventative maintenance and yearly inspections are crucial to the structural integrity of all your masonry structures. Cracked mortar joints, spalling brick, loose brick, and failed chimney crown and/or cap, are some of the major culprits of a failed chimney.
RESTORATION - Bringing a masonry structure back from the dead to it's former glory. Keep an eye out for efflorescence, water stains, mold and mildew. They are all signs of water intrusion. Bulging or shifted structures are also big issues to be aware of. Protecting, stabilizing, and maintaining your structure is the best way to avoid the costly repairs that the future may hold.
NEW CONSTRUCTION - A century ago it was no brainer to go with some form of masonry on or around your home. In today's world very few homeowners/business owners go with masonry because of the high cost of materials and labor. Not to mention the high risk mentality of "quantity over quality", that many of us have experienced throughout today's world. If your willing to take a step back with me and think about a masonry project that would really add value to your home or business, I'd love to be the one to bring that vision to life. Dedication, integrity, and communication will be a constant centerpiece with all my customers.
