Commercial Masonry Services
Professional masonry solutions for businesses and commercial properties throughout Des Moines, IA.

Professional Masonry for Commercial Properties
Your commercial property makes a statement about your business. Crumbling brick, deteriorating mortar, or damaged masonry tells customers and tenants that you do not maintain your building. On the other hand, well-maintained masonry shows pride of ownership and attention to detail.
Commercial masonry projects require a different approach than residential work. You need contractors who understand building codes, can coordinate with multiple trades, and know how to minimize disruption to your business operations. You need professionals who show up on time, work efficiently, and get the job done right the first time.
At DEM Des Moines Masonry, we have been serving commercial clients throughout Des Moines for years. From small retail storefronts to large multi-tenant buildings, we handle projects of all sizes with the same commitment to quality and professionalism.

- •New construction: We partner with commercial builders and general contractors on new projects, providing expert masonry for building facades, interior features, and structural elements.
- •Facade restoration: Historic buildings deserve specialized care. We restore brick and stone facades to their original beauty while meeting modern building codes.

Industries We Serve
Our commercial masonry services extend across many different business sectors in Des Moines:
Retail and Restaurants
Storefront appearance matters. We repair damaged brick, update facades, and create attractive masonry features that draw customers in. We understand that you cannot shut down for weeks, so we schedule work during off-hours when possible.
Office Buildings
Whether it is ongoing maintenance or major repairs, we work quietly and professionally around your tenants' schedules. We coordinate with property managers to minimize impact on daily operations.

Industrial buildings need tough, durable masonry that stands up to heavy use. We build and repair loading dock walls, equipment pads, and structural masonry elements that handle serious wear and tear.
Multi-Family Properties
Apartment buildings, condos, and senior living facilities require regular masonry maintenance. We handle everything from small repairs to large-scale facade restoration projects.

Historic churches and institutional buildings often have unique masonry that requires specialized knowledge. We have experience restoring and maintaining these important community structures.
We also provide commercial brick repair services for any type of commercial property that needs brick restoration work.
Why Commercial Clients Choose Us
Commercial masonry is not the same as residential work. You need contractors who understand the unique requirements of business properties.

Our crews show up on time, work efficiently, and keep the site clean and safe. We follow OSHA safety requirements and maintain a professional appearance at all times.
