"The work was good, and clean-up was fine. Bad (rainy) weather hampered the start of the project - not their fault. The crew was 2 brothers that always started later in the morning (because "they were coming from up by St. Cloud down to Mpls"). Overall, the finished project is great. Just small nits on communication."

"I rank Landson Construction #1 in the list of contractors we have hired in our 40 years of home ownership. Ari and his team of subcontractors recently completed a challenging remodel of one of our bathrooms--challenging because it is a very small area with limited space. Their finished job looks better than our separate remodel of a larger bathroom completed by one of the big firms that advertises daily on television. Examples: the tile work in our small shower is exceptional, and the vanity/oversized sink is a perfect match that does not dominate the small room. Ari Erickson (no relation to me) offered selections from his preferred vendors, but we had full latitude to shop on our own for all tile and fixtures. He and his subcontractors kept us fully apprised at all stages of the project, arrived promptly throughout the course of the work, responded promptly to our texts and emails, and cleaned up their work area at the end of each day. My highest recommendation: I always seek at least four bids for a major project, but I would forego that process and hire Landson Construction again for future building/remodeling projects, and would encourage friends and family to do the same."

"Anthony was on top of the entire project and kept us informed of the entire process. Anthony called ahead to inform us when the dumpster and materials would be delivered a couple of days before the job was supposed to start and when his crew found that the decking on my house needed to be replaced, Anthony contacted our insurance company and got it replaced without any extra work on our part. Anthony's crew replaced the entire roof and four skylights in less than two days. Anthony even came to our house on three separate occasions to run a magnet over our landscape to make sure there were no nails or material left behind that could cause a problem down the road. Would gladly recommend Anthony to all our friends."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Monticello, MN
The ideal depth for a root cellar depends on your local frost line and climate conditions. The goal is to achieve a consistent temperature between 32°F and 60°F year-round. In warmer southern regions, you may need deeper excavation or supplemental cooling systems, while northern areas focus more on preventing freezing.
Understanding your soil composition and water table is essential for determining appropriate depth and drainage needs to maintain a stable environment for your stored produce.
Most municipalities require permits for root cellar construction, particularly for projects involving excavation or structural modifications. Permit costs range from $1,200 to $2,000, depending on your location.
The application process often requires submitting detailed plans showing drainage solutions and structural elements. Checking local regulations early in your planning process helps avoid potential fines or construction delays, especially for projects near property lines or those requiring utility connections.
Professional root cellar construction spans several weeks, with timelines varying based on design complexity and weather conditions. The process includes initial excavation, foundation work, structural construction, ventilation installation, and finishing touches. Permit processing and inspections add to the timeline.
Working with experienced professionals results in more efficient completion compared to DIY approaches, though seasonal factors and contractor availability can affect scheduling.
Concrete represents the most common material choice for permanent root cellars due to its durability and moisture resistance. For above-ground structures, properly sealed pressure-treated lumber offers good performance at lower cost.
Effective insulation is crucial regardless of construction type, with different materials suited to various climate conditions. Quality doors with proper seals help maintain consistent internal conditions, while corrosion-resistant hardware ensures longevity in humid environments.
Most produce stores work best at humidity levels between 80% and 90%. A hygrometer (costing approximately $25) helps monitor conditions accurately. For low humidity, placing containers of water or damp materials in the cellar can increase moisture levels.
When humidity rises too high, improving air circulation through adjustable vents helps reduce excess moisture. Different crops may require varying humidity levels, so organizing your storage accordingly helps optimize preservation. Regular maintenance prevents condensation buildup and potential mold issues.
