Solid Rock Masonry is a specialized business which focuses on some of the finest custom stone and brick work around. We have been designing and building "green" alternate energy custom Masonry heaters, fireplaces, bake ovens, cook stoves, and exterior and interior home veneers. From real full stone and thin stone to cultured stone, brick and stucco no job is too large nor too small. We serve Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin and the entire upper Midwest region. Simply put, we love to build with stone and our craftsmanship shows it. Many styles of fireplaces are incorporated into the photos on our fireplaces page. The Rumford, Ahrien-Fire, and masonry heater styles add efficiency and uniqueness to any structure. Our ability goes beyond custom fireplaces to include stone and brick homes, veneers and landscaping to historical restoration. We are very proud to be the newest Tulikivi Dealer in Northern MN and Northern WI. Tulikivi is the largest manufacturer of Soapstone masonry heaters and bakeovens in the world. Please visit the Tulikivi site to see how wonderful these soapstone beauties are. The midwest distributor for Tulikivi products is Sackett Brick Company. We also custom design and build soapstone heaters and ovens with soapstone from Alberene Soapstone Company in Schuyler, Virginia. We can turn your dream into a reality. Fireplaces The hearth is truly the heart of the home. A magnificently crafted stone fireplace becomes the center of attention no matter where is is located. Humans are drawn to fire like some sort of ancient rhythm. We need it and it needs us in order to stay alive. From old fashioned Rumford Firebrick Fireplaces to high tech Ahrien-Fire Fireplaces to metal inserts of either gas or wood, we can create a timeless fireplace design to warm your soul.

We are a member of the Arrowhead Builders Association thus maintaining a network of the best builders and keeping up to date on current issues and codes. Masonry Heaters & Stoves Masonry heaters offer good solutions to the alternative energy minded. They provide clean combustion at a high temperature, efficiency, a high degree of safety, and little to no pollution. They heat most homes with as little as three cords of wood a year, easing your dependence away from oil and concentrating it on a local renewable resource. The heart of a masonry heater is the firebox, constructed of a refractory material such as firebrick or soapstone. As the fire burns, the gases move through the heat-exchange channels inside the heater. The warmth is absorbed by the masonry and radiates through-out the home long after the fire has stopped burning. Often, for as long as 24 hours. With the residual heat from the fire you can cook meals and heat your domestic water. Masonry heaters are the premium radiant heating system with a comfort level that simply cannot be equaled by convection or forced air. We custom build all styles of masonry heaters including: Finnish ContraFlow German Grundofen Russian Bell Swedish 5 Channel

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

For most masonry cleaning jobs, you should use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner like dish soap, vinegar, or a dedicated fireplace or masonry cleaner. Harsher bleach-based or ammonia cleaning agents should only be used if necessary and never mixed together.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
