Your Cambridge Contractor for Isanti County Seat, Rum River Homes, and Acreage

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Cambridge in Isanti County, handling kitchen remodeling, basement finishing, home additions, pole barns and detached garages, and the rest of the residential and commercial work a Cambridge property needs. MN License #BC533891 is on file and verifiable through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Bob Powers runs every job directly, so calling (763) 331-2247 reaches the person managing the work, not a scheduler.

Cambridge is the Isanti County seat, sitting where Highway 65 meets Highway 95 on the Rum River. It has a historic downtown, the county's main medical center, and a ring of 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, with rural acreage and hobby farms beyond. The older homes near downtown and along the river bring kitchen reconfigurations, bathroom additions, and structural repairs. The subdivisions bring basement finishes and deck replacements on homes now two to three decades old. The acreage brings pole barns, detached garages, and new custom homes on land families already own.

Ham Lake, our home base, is about 30 minutes south of Cambridge straight down Highway 65. Permits for Cambridge projects go through the City of Cambridge's building department, and Powerbuilt pulls them on every qualifying job before work starts, not after an inspector flags it.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Cambridge

Kitchen Remodeling

Open-plan kitchens for older Cambridge homes, including the structural beam work a real reconfiguration requires.

Basement Finishing

Egress windows, framing, insulation, and bathrooms that turn a subdivision lower level into living space.

Home Additions

Room and second-story additions planned around setback, septic, and river rules where they apply.

Pole Barns and Detached Garages

Post-frame shops and storage buildings for Isanti County acreage, sited and permitted before we dig.

Custom Home Building

New homes on Cambridge-area acreage, from well and septic coordination through final inspection.

Commercial Construction

Tenant improvements and build-outs for Cambridge retail, office, and restaurant space under a licensed general contractor.

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in Cambridge

Cambridge issues its own building permits and inspects structural, plumbing, and mechanical work. Properties along the Rum River can fall under shoreland or floodplain review, and acreage on well and septic has setback rules that fix where a foundation or outbuilding can go. An unlicensed contractor cannot pull the permit, so none of that gets checked. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891 and permits every qualifying job before work starts.

What Cambridge Homeowners Hire Powerbuilt For

A straight shot up Highway 65 from our shop, with in-town, subdivision, and acreage work.

Kitchen remodels that open up an older Cambridge floor plan, including the beam work a bearing wall removal requires, lead the in-town requests. Basement finishing with proper egress leads in the subdivisions. On the acreage, Powerbuilt builds pole barns, workshops, room additions, and new custom homes sited around the well and drainfield. Commercial tenant improvements downtown and along Highway 65 run under the same license, with Bob Powers managing every job directly.
