Your Dayton Contractor for Historic Village, River Lots, and New Subdivisions

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Dayton in Hennepin County, handling basement finishing, deck construction, home additions, kitchen remodeling, and the rest of the residential and commercial work a Dayton 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.

Dayton sits where the Crow River meets the Mississippi in the northwest corner of Hennepin County, between Champlin, Rogers, and Maple Grove. For most of its history it was a small river village surrounded by farms, and in the last decade it has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the metro, with new subdivisions filling in along Territorial Road and Highway 81. That leaves two very different kinds of homes. The old village and the river lots have pre-war and mid-century houses that need kitchen reconfigurations, additions, and structural repairs. The new subdivisions have two-stories built in the last ten years with unfinished basements and no deck yet. The remaining acreage brings pole barns and detached garages.

Ham Lake, our home base, is about 30 minutes east of Dayton by way of Highway 10 and Bunker Lake Boulevard. Permits for Dayton projects go through the City of Dayton's building department, and Powerbuilt pulls them on every qualifying job before work starts, not after an inspector flags it.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Dayton

Basement Finishing

Egress windows, framing, insulation, and bathrooms that turn a new Dayton lower level into code-compliant living space.

Deck Construction

Composite and cedar decks on frost footings, with the plans an HOA review asks for and shoreland siting on river lots.

Home Additions

Bathroom, bedroom, and primary-suite additions for older village and river homes built with none of them.

Kitchen Remodeling

Open-plan kitchens, including the structural beam work a bearing wall removal requires.

Interior Structural Repairs

Sagging floors, cracked headers, and beam replacement in Dayton homes that have carried decades of settling.

Pole Barns and Detached Garages

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

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in Dayton

Dayton issues its own building permits and inspects structural, plumbing, and mechanical work. Lots along the Crow or Mississippi can fall under shoreland or floodplain review, new subdivisions often have HOA architectural rules, and the older acreage on well and septic has setbacks of its own. 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 Dayton Homeowners Hire Powerbuilt For

Brand-new homes finishing their basements, and century-old ones getting real structural work.

In the new subdivisions, basement finishing with a proper egress window and a first deck are the two most common projects. In the old village and on the river lots, Powerbuilt handles kitchen remodels that open up a small floor plan, additions that add a bathroom or primary suite, and structural repairs to floors and headers that have carried a century of load. On the acreage, pole barns and detached garages are steady work. Bob Powers manages every job directly.
