INTRODUCTION
Masonry, one of the oldest and most enduring forms of construction, tells tales of our architectural history and cultural heritage. However, even the sturdiest masonry can show signs of wear over time, necessitating skilled restoration to return it to its former glory. At Universal Masonry, nestled in the heart of Winnipeg, we see masonry restoration as more than just a service—it’s an art form that blends tradition, craftsmanship, and modern innovation.

The fireplace, often the heart of a home, is where warmth and comfort converge. Yet, over time, fireplaces can deteriorate, losing both their functionality and charm.

The Cornerstone of Safety: Chimney Care
Chimneys, while robust, are not immune to the ravages of time and weather. Neglecting chimney maintenance can lead to serious safety hazards, including fires and structural damage. Our Comprehensive Chimney Care program emphasizes the importance of regular inspections and repairs, ensuring your chimney remains safe, efficient, and durable. Our services include:
