Zimmerman sits at the edge where suburban development transitions to rural Sherburne County — a mix of newer subdivisions, established farmsteads, and acreage properties that have been here for decades. Homes in this area deal with masonry challenges that are distinctly rural: well water with high mineral content that leaves white efflorescence staining on brick and block, older farmhouses with chimneys that haven't been touched in 20-plus years, and retaining walls built when the land was reshaped that are now showing their age. Tim Hanson has been working this stretch of the NW Metro since the 1990s and knows exactly what to expect.
Zimmerman's older housing stock is where most of the masonry work concentrates. Brick chimneys on mid-century farmhouses often show mortar joints that have been slowly washing out for years — the freeze-thaw cycle does its work gradually until one hard winter opens the cracks wide. Mineral staining from well water is cosmetic but also a signal: water is moving through masonry joints it shouldn't be, and the cosmetic problem will become a structural one if the water infiltration is ignored. Tim addresses the source, not just the stain.
For newer Zimmerman homes built in the past 15 years — the subdivision growth that extended further north along US-169 — the issues tend to be with quick-built brick veneer and stucco exteriors that need attention sooner than owners expect. If you're seeing cracks, spalling, or efflorescence on any masonry surface, call for a free estimate before freeze season. Tim is 15 minutes away and gives honest assessments with no pressure.

Tim came up from Elk River the same week I called. My old farmhouse chimney was in rough shape — he tuckpointed the whole thing and replaced the crown. No mess, no hassle, and the price was fair.
