Coon Rapids is one of Anoka County's most established suburbs — most of the housing stock was built between 1965 and 1990, which means a large share of homes are brick ranch-styles and split-levels with masonry that is now 40 to 60 years old. Mortar that was properly installed in 1975 has a service life of roughly 25 to 30 years under Minnesota conditions. By now, the majority of those joints are soft, recessed, or beginning to crumble — and every freeze-thaw cycle makes the problem worse. Tuckpointing is the highest-volume work Tim does in this part of the metro, and the Coon Rapids brick ranches are textbook cases for why it matters.
Chimneys are the other common call. A 1970s brick chimney on a Coon Rapids home has likely never had a thorough crown inspection, repointing, or flashing check. Forty years of rain and ice cycling in and out of open mortar joints means moisture has often worked its way into the chimney structure itself — not just the surface. Tim looks at the full chimney system on every estimate: crown, flashing, cap, and the visible joints from ground level. What looks like a surface tuckpoint job sometimes turns into a partial rebuild once you get a closer look; Tim will tell you honestly which it is before any work starts.
Coon Rapids homeowners appreciate working with a contractor who's been doing this work in Anoka County for thirty years and knows what these homes actually need versus what they can live without. Tim is direct about what's urgent, what can wait a season, and what's cosmetic. If your brick home hasn't had masonry attention in 20 or more years, the free estimate visit is worth scheduling before winter.

My 1978 brick ranch had mortar crumbling out all along the front face and chimney. Tim came out, explained exactly what needed doing, and the tuckpointing job looks incredible. Should have done this ten years ago.
Tim rebuilt the top section of our chimney — the crown had completely failed and water was getting inside the flue. He was honest about what needed to be done versus what could wait. Fair price, clean work, no upsell.
