Founded By Tradesmen

Gresser was founded in 1969 by Mike C. and Joan Gresser in the basement of their home in Eagan, Minnesota. Mike, a bricklayer by trade, performed all operational aspects of the company in the early years. Joan was responsible for bookkeeping and administration.

Over the ensuing decades, Gresser has grown to be one of the nation’s largest and most respected concrete and masonry contractors, employing the very best. In 2001, their son Michael J. purchased the company. Born in 1932, Mike C. remained active in the company and often visited job sites until his passing in 2023.

High Value.  Consistent Results.  No Hassle.

For nearly half a century, Gresser has been the trusted concrete and masonry experts providing the highest quality work at a competitive price. Our coordination, scheduling and commitment result in an easy process for you. We deliver consistency, project after project, which is why a majority of our business is from repeat customers. Gresser does not over commit to a deadline to get the sale or cut corners on safety. We value our people as the central element that make us a great company and our core values make up what it is to be Gresser.
