General Contractor Crystal Residents Actually Call

If you're searching for a contractor in Crystal, MN, the license number matters more than the sales pitch. Powerbuilt Construction holds MN General Contractor License #BC533891, and Bob Powers runs the operation directly. That means when you call (763) 331-2247, you're talking to the person who pulls the permits, hires the crews, and shows up at your job site. Powerbuilt carries a 4.9-star rating across 27 Google reviews. Those aren't from a marketing push. They're from homeowners who hired us, watched the work happen, and came back to say so.

Crystal is about 25 miles south of Ham Lake, and we work in Hennepin County regularly. Whether you're near Bass Lake Road or tucked into a quieter stretch off 36th Avenue, we know the building stock in this part of the metro. Older Crystal homes often come with undersized garages, unfinished basements, and kitchens that haven't been touched since the 1980s. That's not a problem. It's exactly the kind of home renovation work we do every week.

What Powerbuilt Builds in Crystal

Full-scope construction work, residential and commercial, handled by a licensed GC with MN License #BC533891.

01

Kitchen Remodeling

Layout changes, cabinet replacement, countertops, and all the rough-in coordination behind the walls. We don't hand you a cabinet installer and disappear.

02

Basement Remodeling

Crystal's housing stock has a lot of unfinished lower levels. We handle framing, egress windows, insulation, and finish work to code.

03

Home Additions

Room additions, second-story builds, and garage expansions for homeowners who'd rather build out than move out in a tight market.

04

Deck Construction

Permit-pulled deck builds using composite or pressure-treated lumber. We don't skip the permit because it protects your home's resale value.

05

Interior Structural Repairs

Load-bearing wall removal, beam replacement, and structural corrections. This is licensed GC work. Don't let a handyman guess at it.

06

Commercial Construction

Tenant improvements, office space remodeling, and light commercial builds for Crystal businesses. Most local remodelers aren't licensed for this.

How a Powerbuilt Project Gets Started

  1. 01

    Call Bob Directly

    One phone call to (763) 331-2247 reaches the owner. You describe the project. We ask the right questions. No sales rep, no intake form gatekeeper.

  2. 02

    We Walk the Job

    For any Crystal project worth bidding, we come to the site. Scope gets confirmed in person. That's how accurate estimates happen.

  3. 03

    We Pull the Permits and Build

    Powerbuilt handles permit applications through Crystal's building division, which issues the permits and runs the inspections. You don't chase paperwork. We do.

Why It Matters

Licensed Means Accountable in Crystal

deck construction work, project example in Crystal, MN
There's no shortage of people in the Twin Cities who'll swing a hammer without a license. Crystal's building department requires permits on most structural, electrical-adjacent, and mechanical work. A licensed GC like Powerbuilt pulls those permits correctly, which means the work is inspected, documented, and legal when you sell. An unlicensed contractor who skips the permit leaves you holding liability you didn't sign up for. MN License #BC533891 is public record. Look it up if you want. We're not going anywhere. We also handle general building construction and basement remodeling in Crystal with the same permit-first approach. Every job, regardless of size.

Common Questions from Crystal Homeowners

Does Powerbuilt Construction work in Crystal, MN?
Yes. Crystal is well within our active service area. We work regularly across Hennepin County, and we're familiar with the older housing stock near Bass Lake Road and the established neighborhoods west of Highway 100. Getting to Crystal from our base isn't a logistical stretch. Call (763) 331-2247 and we can talk scope the same day.
What permits does a remodel in Crystal require?
Crystal follows Hennepin County and Minnesota State Building Code. Most projects involving structural changes, new walls, window additions, or finished basement work require a permit through the City of Crystal's building department. Powerbuilt pulls those permits as part of the job. If a contractor tells you a project in Crystal doesn't need a permit and you're not sure, ask to see it in writing. We pull permits because it protects you at resale.
Can Powerbuilt handle a full addition on a Crystal home?
That's one of our core project types. Crystal's established neighborhoods have a lot of homes where the footprint no longer fits the family inside it. We've handled room additions, garage expansions, and second-story builds. Every addition starts with a site visit, a real scope conversation, and a permit application with the city. Contact us through our contact page or call directly.
Is Powerbuilt licensed to do commercial work in Crystal?
Yes. MN License #BC533891 covers residential and commercial construction. Most contractors operating in Crystal at our project scale are residential only. If you're a Crystal business owner looking at a tenant improvement, a kitchen remodel for a restaurant, or an office buildout, we can handle it. See our commercial projects page for more context on what that looks like.
How do I get an estimate for a project in Crystal?
Call Bob directly at (763) 331-2247. For most projects, we'll schedule a site walk in Crystal to see what we're working with before giving numbers. Ballpark estimates over the phone exist, but they're worth exactly what you paid for them on a custom project. We'd rather come out, see the space, and give you a number we'll actually stand behind. Every job is different. Contact Powerbuilt Construction for an accurate estimate.
