Elk River's Trusted Masonry Contractor Serving Anoka

Anoka sits at the confluence of the Rum River and Mississippi River — one of the most historic cities in Minnesota. That history means a lot of older homes: bungalows and ramblers from the 1940s and 50s, many with original brick chimneys, clay-lined flues, and mortar joints that are now approaching 80 years old. Mortar has a lifespan. When it reaches the end of it, water infiltration follows, and the freeze-thaw cycle does the rest. Tim Hanson serves Anoka regularly — it's about 20 minutes south of his Elk River base — and has worked on dozens of Anoka chimneys over the years.

Anoka's older housing stock also means a fair amount of stucco siding on homes built in the mid-century era. Stucco was a popular choice for its durability and aesthetics, but it requires periodic maintenance — especially where it's been painted over repeatedly. The layers of paint trap moisture, which accelerates cracking. Tim has repaired stucco on homes throughout Anoka County and knows how to match textures and finishes so repairs are invisible.

If you're in Anoka and have a chimney that's been leaking, brickwork that's spalling or crumbling, or stucco with cracks that keep coming back — get a free estimate before the problem compounds. Tim is direct: he'll tell you what actually needs to be done, what can wait, and what the price will be upfront.
