General Contractor Services in Minneapolis

Searching for a general contractor in Minneapolis means sorting through a lot of names that look the same on screen. Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed Minnesota general contractor, License #BC533891, operating across the Twin Cities metro, including Minneapolis neighborhoods from Northeast to South Minneapolis to Uptown. Bob Powers runs the operation directly, which means you're talking to the decision-maker when you call (763) 331-2247, not a sales coordinator passing messages upstream. We carry 4.9 stars across 27 Google reviews, and we pull permits on every job that requires one.

We work regularly in the Minneapolis area on new home construction, kitchen and bathroom remodels, home renovations, additions, and commercial construction. Minneapolis has a wide range of housing stock, older craftsman bungalows in the Longfellow and Nokomis neighborhoods, mid-century builds near Lake Harriet, newer infill construction across North Minneapolis. We know how that variation plays out in framing, foundation work, and finish decisions. If you're comparing general contractors in Minneapolis, the license number is verifiable at the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. We'd rather you check than take our word for it.

What We Build in Minneapolis

Full-scope construction from ground up to finish, across the Minneapolis metro.

New Home Construction

We build custom homes from the ground up in the Minneapolis metro. That means site prep, framing, mechanicals coordination, and finish work under one licensed contractor. No handoffs between separate builders.

Kitchen Remodeling

Full kitchen remodels in Minneapolis homes, including layout changes, cabinet installation, countertop work, and anything structural that comes with opening up a wall between the kitchen and an adjacent room.

Home Additions

Room additions, second-story additions, and attached garage expansions for Minneapolis homeowners who want more square footage without moving. We handle permitting through the City of Minneapolis.

Basement Finishing

Minneapolis basements are workable space. We frame, insulate, finish, and add egress windows where required by code. We don't skip the permit step, finished basements without permits cause real problems at resale.

Commercial Construction

We hold a residential and commercial general contractor license, which means we can handle commercial projects in Minneapolis including tenant improvements, office remodels, and light industrial work.

Interior Structural Repairs

Older Minneapolis homes sometimes need load-bearing wall corrections, beam replacements, or structural fixes that a handyman can't legally touch. We pull the permits and do the work correctly.

How We Work

From First Call to Final Walkthrough

We keep the process direct because Minneapolis homeowners and business owners don't have time to manage a contractor who can't manage themselves.

Why It Matters

Licensed Work Holds Up in Minneapolis

new home construction work, project example in Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis has active inspection and permit enforcement, and the city's older housing stock means surprises inside walls are common. We've done enough work in the metro to know what to expect in a 1940s stucco bungalow versus a 1990s frame build near the lakes. That experience changes how we budget and how we sequence the work. An unlicensed contractor might quote you less upfront. What they can't give you is work that passes inspection, work that doesn't void your homeowner's insurance, and work that won't have to be redone when you go to sell. We hold MN License #BC533891 because the license exists for a reason. Every Minneapolis job we take gets managed the same way: permits pulled, inspections scheduled, work completed to code. We also serve adjacent communities including Fridley, Crystal, and Richfield if your project spans multiple locations or you're comparing contractors across the south and north metro.

General Contractor Questions for Minneapolis Projects

Does Powerbuilt Construction pull permits for Minneapolis remodeling projects?

Yes, every job. Minneapolis has active permit enforcement, and the City of Minneapolis requires permits for structural work, additions, basement finishing, and most major remodels. We handle the permit application, coordinate required inspections, and close everything out correctly. If a contractor tells you a Minneapolis job doesn't need a permit and you're not sure that's true, call the city's 311 line and verify. Unpermitted work creates real problems at resale and can void your homeowner's insurance coverage for that scope of work.

How far does Powerbuilt travel to take on Minneapolis jobs?

We're based in Ham Lake, which puts us roughly 20 to 25 miles from most Minneapolis neighborhoods. We regularly work in Northeast Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, Uptown, and North Minneapolis. We also work in adjacent suburbs like Fridley, Richfield, and Edina. Distance isn't the deciding factor for us. The scope and fit of the project are. Call (763) 331-2247 and describe what you're working with.

Can Powerbuilt handle commercial construction work in Minneapolis?

We're licensed for both residential and commercial work in Minnesota. In Minneapolis, that's covered commercial projects including office space remodeling, tenant improvements, and light commercial builds. Most contractors in the North Metro only hold a residential license. Our commercial license means we can legally take on a wider scope of work and coordinate the trades required for commercial jobs, including those that go through commercial plan review at the City of Minneapolis.

Minneapolis has a lot of older homes. Does Powerbuilt have experience with pre-1950 construction?

Older Minneapolis housing stock is where experience matters most. Bungalows, craftsman builds, and two-story frame homes from the 1920s through 1950s have their own structural realities: older framing dimensions, knob-and-tube wiring in some cases, plaster walls, and foundations that weren't built to today's standards. We've worked in enough of these homes to know what to look for before we finalize an estimate. That's why we walk the site before we quote. Interior structural repairs in older homes require a licensed contractor who understands load paths, not just finish work.

What's the best way to get a project estimate for a Minneapolis job?

Call Bob directly at (763) 331-2247. We're available Monday through Friday and can often do a site visit within a few days for Minneapolis projects. We don't quote over email without seeing the scope, because Minneapolis homes vary enough that a number without a walkthrough isn't worth much to either party. You can also use the contact form at /contact-us to request a callback. Every job is different, so we quote based on the actual scope, not a price list.
