In 1945, L. S. “Doc” Morse started a small company in Minneapolis, MN doing masonry repairs to home chimneys and small commercial buildings. The business grew very quickly and expanded to include the Twin Cities area, as well as masonry restoration to churches located in the surrounding states.
By 1958, estimating and management duties became too much for Morse to handle on his own, so he took on Arthur P. Kranniger as a partner, and Morse Tuck-pointing Company Inc. was formed.
Through Kranniger’s leadership the company soon afterward expanded into concrete grain elevator restoration.
“Morse Tuck-pointing Co. was working at a General Mills facility in Minneapolis, and someone made fun of the Morse Tuck-pointing name,” recalls Charles Threet, who owned the company from 1969 to 2010.
“Kranniger decided that a new name, Structural Restoration Co., better reflected our concrete maintenance and restoration services,” relates Threet. “In 1969 when I purchased the company, we incorporated and changed the name to Structural Restoration, Inc.”
In 2010, Bing and Tammy Threet, purchased the company from Charles. Son Joshua Threet serves as vice president.
The company does business across the United States focusing on concrete and masonry restoration, painting and coatings, pressure injections, shotcrete, and roof coatings.
