Serving Minneapolis and nearby communities with skilled masonry craftsmanship, reliable chimney and fireplace care, and long-lasting repairs.
UBL Masonry delivers practical masonry services to homeowners and small businesses across the Twin Cities region. Our work emphasizes sound construction, code compliance, and visible quality. Projects range from brick and stone restoration to new fireplace installations and chimney maintenance. Attention to detail and clear communication guide every project.
We repair facades, rebuild damaged walls, reset loose masonry units, and install new brick or stone elements. All structural repairs begin with a site assessment to determine underlying causes, and finish with mortar selection matched to the existing work for a consistent result.
Mortar joints that fail accelerate masonry deterioration. Our tuckpointing process removes deteriorated mortar and installs new mortar that restores strength and appearance. Where necessary, we match joint profiles to preserve the original visual character.
Chimneys are exposed to freeze-thaw cycles and must be inspected regularly. Services include crown repair, flue lining replacement, masonry rebuilds, and flashing repair. When a partial rebuild is needed we follow accepted practices to ensure proper draft and water shedding.
We install wood-burning and gas fireplaces that meet local code and manufacturer requirements. For existing fireplaces we address issues such as smoke-back, cracked firebrick, damaged damper mechanisms, and worn hearths. Safety and reliable operation are the primary goals.
Applying breathable water-repellent treatments and replacing failing sealants protects the masonry from moisture and freeze damage while preserving appearance. We avoid coatings that trap moisture behind the masonry units.
Every job begins with a clear estimate and a written scope of work. We schedule a timely inspection, document existing conditions, and provide a straightforward plan that outlines materials, schedule, and site protection measures. During construction we maintain a clean work area and keep clients informed about progress.
Work on chimneys and fireplaces follows local building codes and industry guidance. We use proper fall protection, scaffolding where required, and flue materials that meet regulatory standards. Before leaving a job site we verify that vents, dampers, and clearances meet safety expectations.
Clients rely on UBL Masonry because we combine proven field experience with straightforward service. We prioritize durable repairs that reduce the need for recurring work. Estimates are honest and responsive; projects are scheduled with respect for homeowner routines and property protection.

Minneapolis winters demand attention to masonry and chimneys. Before freeze-up inspect chimney crowns, check mortar joints, and confirm that flashing around roof penetrations is intact. Clear soot and creosote from wood-burning appliances regularly and schedule flue inspections each heating season.
Early spring is an appropriate time for minor tuckpointing and repairs so moisture damaged areas can dry and be addressed before the next winter cycle.
