Your Andover Contractor for Full-Scope Work

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Andover with the full range of residential construction work: custom home building, additions, kitchen remodels, and basement finishing. MN License #BC533891 is on file and verifiable through the state. Bob Powers runs every job directly, so you're talking to the person managing the work when you call (763) 331-2247, not a scheduler.

Andover is effectively our backyard: Powerbuilt is based right next door in Ham Lake, so we're on-site in Andover fast and know the ground here well. This is Anoka Sand Plain country, well-drained sandy soil that behaves very differently under a foundation or a deck footing than the clay you'd find further south. That soil, plus the fast growth along Bunker Lake Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard and the larger rural lots to the north, means site conditions vary a lot from one Andover project to the next. Permits run through the City of Andover, and we pull them on every qualifying job before work starts.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Andover

Custom Home Building

Foundation to finish, permitted and managed by Bob directly. On Andover's sandy Anoka Sand Plain lots, site prep and footing depth get worked out before the pour.

Home Additions

Room additions, second-story additions, and garage additions for Andover homeowners who want more space without leaving a neighborhood they picked on purpose.

Kitchen Remodeling

Layouts, cabinets, and structural changes, handled as one coordinated project for Andover's 1990s and newer housing stock.

Basement Finishing

Plenty of Andover homes were sold with the basement left unfinished. We frame, insulate, and finish it to livable, code-compliant space with proper egress.

Deck Construction

Permitted deck builds in composite or pressure-treated lumber, with frost footings set to Minnesota depth. Andover setbacks are checked before a board is cut.

Commercial Construction

Powerbuilt holds residential and commercial licensing for businesses along Andover's Bunker Lake Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard corridors.

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in Andover

The City of Andover requires permits on most structural, electrical, and mechanical work, and the city's own building department handles that review. Anoka County does not issue building permits. An unlicensed contractor can still frame an addition, but they can't pull the permit, which means the work never gets inspected, and an uninspected addition creates a title problem when you sell. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891 and permits every qualifying project before work starts.

What Andover Homeowners Actually Hire Us For

Sandy soils and a mix of newer subdivisions and larger rural lots mean site conditions get checked before anything gets poured.

Because we're based in Ham Lake right next door, a lot of what we do in Andover is repeat and referral work: additions, finished basements, and custom builds for people who watched us do a neighbor's project. The sandy Anoka Sand Plain soil here drains well but still needs footings carried to frost depth, and we work that out during site prep rather than discovering it mid-pour. One licensed contractor coordinates the whole job start to finish.
