About

Western Waterproofing Company was founded in St. Louis, MO in 1915 and since then has grown across the United States. Our Minneapolis operations opened in 1960 as Western Waterproofing Company – a local contractor specializing in waterproofing, concrete and facade restoration.

In 2015, Western celebrated our centennial and rebranded as Western Specialty Contractors to provide a more encompassing portrayal of our services.

Over the years Western has built a reputation for quality craftsmanship and professional service in the Greater Minneapolis area. In 2019, the Minneapolis office expanded and acquired a restoration contractor in Duluth, MN opening a satellite office. Along with Minnesota, we provide the same services to North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa. 

Since opening in 1960, the office has grown, but its reputation as a quality restoration contractor has never wavered. We have been privileged to have worked on many of Minneapolis and St. Paul’s renowned buildings such as the Macy’s building, IDS building, City Center, Wells Fargo Tower, Foshay Tower, and Carlson Center to name a few.
