Your Little Canada Contractor for Full-Scope Work

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Little Canada with the full range of residential construction work: kitchen and bath remodels, additions, basement finishing, and structural repairs. 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.

Little Canada sits at the crossing of I-694 and I-35E, wrapped around Lake Gervais, Round Lake, and Spoon Lake, on land first settled by French-Canadian families along the Rice Street corridor. Much of the housing went up in the post-war decades, so remodels here often mean opening a cramped 1950s and 1960s layout, which usually runs into a load-bearing wall and wiring that predates today's code. Powerbuilt checks what's structural before a wall comes down. Permits run through the City of Little Canada, and we pull them on every qualifying job before work starts.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Little Canada

Kitchen Remodeling

Layouts, cabinets, and structural changes handled as one coordinated project. Little Canada's mid-century kitchens often hide a load-bearing wall right where you want it open.

Home Additions

Room additions, second-story additions, and garage additions for Little Canada homeowners who want more space without leaving the lake neighborhoods.

Bathroom Remodeling

Tub-to-shower conversions, full gut remodels, and layout changes for the compact bathrooms common in Little Canada's post-war homes.

Basement Finishing

We frame, insulate, and finish lower levels to livable, code-compliant space with proper egress, a common project in Little Canada's split-levels.

Deck Construction

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

Commercial Construction

Powerbuilt holds residential and commercial licensing for businesses along the Rice Street and Little Canada Road corridors.

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in Little Canada

The City of Little Canada requires permits on most structural, electrical, and mechanical work, and the city handles that review. 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 turns into a title problem when you sell. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891 and permits every qualifying project before work starts.

What Little Canada Homeowners Actually Hire Us For

Post-war housing near the Gervais and Round Lake shoreline means structural checks come before any wall opens up.

A lot of the calls we get from Little Canada are remodels on homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, where an original galley kitchen or a chopped-up main floor is holding the house back. We assess what's load-bearing, handle the beam and header work that opens it up, and coordinate the electrical and mechanical updates that older homes need along the way.
