Your Princeton Contractor for Rum River Homes and Highway 169 Acreage

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Princeton in Mille Lacs County, handling kitchen remodeling, interior structural repairs, home additions, pole barns and detached garages, and the rest of the residential and commercial work a Princeton 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.

Princeton sits on the Rum River where Highway 169 meets Highway 95, straddling the Mille Lacs and Sherburne county line. It has a historic downtown, an older core of pre-war and mid-century homes, newer subdivisions on the edges, and a wide belt of farm and acreage country around it. The older in-town homes drive a lot of the work: kitchen reconfigurations, bathroom additions, and structural repairs to floors and headers that have carried a century of load. The subdivisions bring basement finishes and deck replacements. The acreage brings pole barns, detached garages, and new custom homes on land families already own.

Ham Lake, our home base, is about 45 minutes southeast of Princeton by way of Highway 95 and Highway 65. Permits for Princeton projects go through the City of Princeton's building department, and Powerbuilt pulls them on every qualifying job before work starts, not after an inspector flags it.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Princeton

Kitchen Remodeling

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

Interior Structural Repairs

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

Home Additions

Bathroom, bedroom, and room additions planned around setback, septic, and river rules where they apply.

Pole Barns and Detached Garages

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

Basement Finishing

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

Custom Home Building

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

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in Princeton

Princeton 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. In the older homes, past unpermitted work only shows up when a wall comes open. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891 and permits every qualifying job before work starts.

What Princeton Homeowners Bring to Powerbuilt

Century-old homes with real structural questions, and acreage that needs outbuildings.

Kitchen remodels in older Princeton homes are the most common project, and they almost always involve a bearing wall and a beam. Structural repairs to sagging floors and undersized headers are close behind, followed by bathroom additions on homes built with one. On the acreage, Powerbuilt builds pole barns, workshops, room additions, and new custom homes sited around the well and drainfield. Bob Powers manages every job directly, from the site visit through final inspection.
