Monticello has a different character than the newer Wright County suburbs — it's the county seat, and that means a real downtown with brick storefronts, older residential neighborhoods with mature trees, and a mix of housing stock that spans several decades. The brick commercial buildings along Broadway and Cedar Street have been through multiple freeze-thaw cycles, and their mortar is often the first thing to show age. Tim Hanson has worked Monticello's older brick buildings and residential properties for 30 years from his Elk River base, and he brings the same careful attention to a 1960s ranch foundation as he does to a downtown storefront facade.
The 1980s and 1990s residential neighborhoods south of Highway 18 represent a significant portion of Monticello's housing stock. These homes — often split-levels and bi-levels with brick exterior accents — are now at the age where chimney tuckpointing becomes essential. The mortar in these older brick systems wasn't formulated to the same standards as modern brickwork, and after 35–40 years of Minnesota weather, the joints simply need repointing. Tim also sees a fair amount of block foundation repair in these older homes — concrete block foundations that were standard in the 1970s and 1980s, now showing the cracks and efflorescence that come with age and water infiltration.
Monticello also sits within the Xcel Energy service corridor — the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is nearby, and the utility infrastructure in the area has been expanding for years. That means a mix of newer homes built for plant workers alongside the older county seat housing stock. Tim handles the full range: tuckpointing on older brick, chimney repair on 1980s homes, block foundation work, and the occasional newer stucco issue. He's 20 minutes from Monticello's downtown, responds same day, and gives honest assessments — if it can be repaired instead of replaced, he'll tell you.

Block foundation on our 1978 Monticello home had visible cracking and water seeping through every spring. Tim repointed all the affected joints, sealed the cracks, and the next heavy rain — no water. Honest work, fair price, done when he said it would be done.
Our brick chimney in Monticello was in rough shape — missing mortar in about 20 joints, crown cracked. Tim tuckpointed everything, re-sealed the crown, and the whole job came in well under what a rebuild would have cost. Looks solid now.
