Masonry contractor in Ramsey, MN
We're your local masonry contractor in Ramsey providing services from classic brick walls to custom stone columns, our masonry work adds structure and style to Minnesota homes. At Premier Excel Construction, we handle everything from new construction to repairs — right here in Ramsey and the surrounding North Metro.
Brickwork
New Brick Walls
We build both load-bearing brick walls and decorative features like planters or entry accents. What sets us apart is our attention to drainage, frost footings, and mortar that matches the application — whether it's Type N for aesthetics or Type S for strength. Every job starts with solid prep, so your wall doesn’t shift, crack, or bulge over time.
Repair & Tuckpointing
Over time, the mortar between bricks deteriorates — especially in our freeze-thaw cycles. We specialize in repointing, where we grind out the old joints and refill them to match your existing brickwork. Done right, this stops water damage and restores the wall’s strength. We don’t smear mortar over like others — we restore it the proper way.
Chimney Brick Repair
Cracked crowns, missing caps, and flaking bricks are all signs your chimney needs attention. We do partial or full rebuilds, repointing, crown sealing, and install proper caps to keep water (and animals) out. Whether it's cosmetic or structural, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and what can wait.
Stonework
Natural Stone Walls
Natural stone brings unmatched curb appeal but takes real skill to install correctly. We hand-fit each piece, plan out drainage, and make sure no piece feels out of place. Whether it's a garden border, sitting wall, or full façade, our stonework looks timeless — and stays put.
Stone Veneer Installation
Cultured stone gives the same aesthetic for a fraction of the cost and weight. But many installs fail due to skipped steps like proper moisture barriers or incorrect lath application. We follow manufacturer specs to a T so your veneer doesn’t peel, trap moisture, or fail prematurely.
Stone Steps & Columns
These features get the most wear and need to be built on solid footing. We pour reinforced bases, ensure proper rise/run for safety, and install stones that can take a beating from boots, ice, and salt. The result? Steps that stay safe and sharp for years.
blockwork
CMU Walls
Block walls are the go-to for garage additions, retaining walls, and structural applications. We tie them into footings, reinforce with steel, and grout as needed based on load. These aren’t just garden walls — they’re built to carry weight and last through decades of Minnesota winters.
Block Repair & Reinforcement
Bowing walls, cracked joints, and moisture intrusion are common in older homes. We don’t just patch; we figure out why it happened. Often that means improving drainage or adding bracing before we ever touch a trowel. We’ll give you the long-term fix — not a temporary band-aid.
Outdoor Masonry Features
Firepits & Outdoor Fireplaces
Built with fire-rated materials and vented properly, our fire features become the centerpiece of the backyard. We help you choose brick or stone that complements your home and stays safe under high heat. These aren’t prefab kits — they’re custom-built, one stone at a time.
Mailboxes, Columns & Accent Features
It’s the little touches that take your curb appeal up a notch. We build custom brick or stone mailboxes, entry columns, and decorative walls that tie in with your home’s exterior. Everything sits on proper footing and is built to withstand shifting soil and road salt.
