Restoration & Repair Services in St. Louis Park, MN

Restoration and repair for St. Louis Park homes

St. Louis Park butts right up against the Minneapolis city line, and most of it went up during the postwar boom — small, well-built 1950s ramblers and Cape Cods on tight lots with detached garages off the alley. What makes the city unusual now is how much of it is being redone. A single block can hold an original 1953 house that has never had a major update, a 1953 house that has been gutted and expanded, and a brand-new build on a scraped lot. The older houses fail in predictable ways: galvanized supply lines, mid-century sewer laterals, low-slope roof sections over additions, and basements finished long before anyone worried about moisture. Close lots also mean a problem next door can become yours.

Ungerman has served St. Louis Park and the wider Twin Cities since 1977. Emergency calls reach a live person 24/7/365, and because we handle mitigation and rebuild together, one team carries the job from the first hour through the last coat of paint — no handoff to a second contractor halfway through.

What we handle in St. Louis Park

Emergency restoration covers water, fire and smoke, and storm and hail damage, plus board-up, tarping, and full reconstruction. On narrow lots, drying a finished basement without tearing out more than necessary takes some care. Plumbing, heating, and cooling keeps those postwar systems going, from January no-heat calls to full repipes when the galvanized finally gives up. Exterior work — roofing, siding, and windows — stays steady here, split between storm claims and owners bringing a 1950s exterior up to what the redevelopment next door raised the block to.

Most emergency work is covered by your property insurance, and we document the damage and work directly with your adjuster so the claim doesn’t become your second job. The same goes for commercial buildings, including the businesses at Excelsior & Grand and along the Highway 7 corridor.
