North Metro Construction Remodeling, Done by a GC

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor handling home remodeling and construction renovation projects across the North Metro Twin Cities. License #BC533891. Bob Powers runs the operation directly, so you deal with the decision-maker from the first call, not a sales rep who hands you off to a crew you've never met. If you're comparing remodelers, that difference shows up on the job site. Call (763) 331-2247 to get started.

Remodeling scope varies more than most homeowners expect. A kitchen remodel might mean swapping cabinets and countertops, or it might mean moving a load-bearing wall and running new electrical. A basement finish can be a single open room or a full build-out with egress, a bathroom, and a wet bar. What drives cost up isn't usually the finish materials. It's structural surprises, permit requirements, and scope that expands once the walls open. Powerbuilt handles all of it under one license. Every job is different, contact Powerbuilt Construction for an accurate estimate.

What We Tackle

Remodeling Scope Powerbuilt Handles

From a single bathroom to a full home renovation, one licensed contractor manages it all.

01

Kitchen Remodeling

Cabinets, countertops, layout changes, and structural modifications. We pull permits and handle the coordination so you're not chasing five separate trades.

02

Bathroom Remodeling

Full gut-and-rebuild or targeted updates. Tile, fixtures, vanity, egress windows for basement baths, whatever the scope, it gets done right under one roof.

03

Basement Finishing

Framing, insulation, drywall, egress, and finish work. Most North Metro homes have an unfinished basement. We convert them into livable, code-compliant space.

04

Home Additions

Room additions and second-story builds for homeowners who want to expand rather than move. See our home addition page for scope details.

05

Commercial Build-Outs

Powerbuilt is licensed for commercial work, tenant improvements, retail build-outs, and light commercial renovation across the metro.

06

Structural Repairs

Load-bearing wall modifications, beam replacement, and structural corrections. This is licensed GC work, not handyman scope.

Work Outside Our Scope Gets Referred Right

kitchen remodeling work, professional service in Ham Lake, MN
Powerbuilt doesn't do plumbing, HVAC, radon mitigation, or junk removal in-house. We won't pretend otherwise. What we do is refer you to people who actually do that work well. For radon testing, check out FamilyRadon.com. Plumbing needs go to tcplumb.com. Junk removal? junkremovalguysmn.com. A contractor who knows where their scope ends is one you can trust when it doesn't. The commercial and residential construction pages cover the full picture of what Powerbuilt handles directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Powerbuilt pull permits on remodeling projects?
Yes. Any structural change, electrical upgrade, plumbing rough-in, or egress window installation requires a permit in Minnesota. Powerbuilt Construction pulls permits as the licensed general contractor of record under License #BC533891. Work that skips permits creates problems at resale, inspectors flag unpermitted work and buyers walk.
What's the difference between a remodeler and a general contractor for a home renovation?
A remodeler typically handles finish work, tile, cabinets, flooring. A licensed general contractor like Powerbuilt can also touch structure: moving walls, replacing beams, adding square footage, and managing subcontractors under a single license. If your project involves anything structural, you need a GC, not just a remodeler.
How long does a full bathroom remodel take in a North Metro home?
A gut-and-rebuild bathroom, demo through final fixtures, typically runs three to five weeks depending on permit timing, tile selection lead time, and whether structural surprises turn up behind the walls. Older homes in the North Metro sometimes have galvanized plumbing or knob-and-tube wiring that adds scope once walls open. Bob can walk you through realistic timelines once he's seen the space.
Can Powerbuilt handle both the framing and the finish work on a basement remodel?
Yes. Framing, insulation, drywall, egress windows, interior doors, trim, and finish carpentry all fall within Powerbuilt's scope. Mechanical rough-ins (plumbing and HVAC) are coordinated with licensed trade partners. The goal is one point of contact for the whole project, not five separate contractors you're trying to schedule around each other.
What questions should I ask a contractor before starting a kitchen remodel?
Ask whether they hold a general contractor license (and get the number, MN License #BC533891 for Powerbuilt). Ask who pulls permits and who's on site day-to-day. Ask how scope changes are documented mid-project. A contractor who can't answer those clearly before a contract is signed is one who'll be hard to reach once demolition starts.
Does Powerbuilt handle remodeling in both residential and commercial buildings?
Yes. Powerbuilt Construction is licensed for both residential and commercial work. Most North Metro remodelers are residential-only. Commercial projects, tenant improvements, retail build-outs, office renovations, follow different code requirements and inspection timelines. Having a contractor who's done both means fewer surprises when the building department is involved. See the commercial page for scope details.
