Your Shoreview Contractor for Full-Scope Work

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Shoreview homeowners who need a kitchen gutted, a basement finished, or a full addition built without hiring three different subs and hoping they coordinate. MN License #BC533891 is on file and verifiable through the state. Bob Powers runs every job directly, so the person who quotes the work is the person who shows up on-site, not a rotating crew you meet for the first time on demo day. Call (763) 331-2247 and you reach him, not a scheduler.

Shoreview sits along Lake Owasso and Turtle Lake in Ramsey County, and a lot of the housing stock near the water is mid-century ramblers that have never had a structural update. That matters when a kitchen remodel wants to open a load-bearing wall, or a basement finish runs into a footing that wasn't built for modern egress code. Powerbuilt pulls permits through the City of Shoreview on every qualifying job and has worked the corridor along I-694 and Hodgson Road enough to know what an inspector there is going to ask for before they ask it.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Shoreview

Custom Home Building

Foundation to finish, permitted and managed by Bob directly. Shoreview custom builds get the same oversight as every other Powerbuilt job.

Home Additions

Room additions and second-story additions for Shoreview homeowners who need more square footage without moving off the lake.

Kitchen Remodeling

Layouts, cabinets, and load-bearing wall changes when the design calls for it, handled as one coordinated project.

Basement Finishing

Most Shoreview ramblers have an unfinished lower level. We frame, insulate, and finish it to livable, code-compliant space.

Deck Construction

Permitted deck builds in composite or pressure-treated lumber, sited to Shoreview's setback rules before a board is cut.

Commercial Construction

Powerbuilt holds residential and commercial licensing. Shoreview businesses along Lexington Avenue can reach us for tenant improvements.

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in Shoreview

The Minnesota State Building Code requires permits on most structural, electrical, and mechanical work, and Shoreview enforces that through its own building department. An unlicensed contractor can still frame an addition or finish a basement, but they can't pull the permit, which means the work never gets inspected, and an uninspected addition becomes a disclosure problem when the home sells. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891. Every project we take in Shoreview gets permitted before work starts, not after an inspector notices.

What Shoreview Homeowners Actually Hire Us For

Bathrooms and basement finishes are the two projects that show up most often on our Shoreview job sites.

A lot of the calls we get from Shoreview start with a bathroom that hasn't been touched since the house was built. We handle the full gut, tile, layout changes, and the waterproofing that keeps a remodel from becoming a callback two winters later. The other common project is a lower level finish that needs a proper egress window before it can legally count as livable space, work that has to be done to code because it gets inspected. Powerbuilt coordinates both as one job rather than passing you between single-trade subs.

Shoreview Construction Questions

Does Powerbuilt pull permits for projects in Shoreview?

Yes, always. Shoreview requires permits for structural work, additions, basement finishing, and most remodeling that touches mechanical systems. Powerbuilt files permit applications directly with the city on every qualifying project.

How far is Powerbuilt's base from Shoreview?

Powerbuilt operates out of Ham Lake, a short drive from Shoreview via I-35W and I-694. That's close enough for site visits and day-to-day oversight without scheduling delays.

What kinds of remodeling work does Powerbuilt do in Shoreview homes?

Kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, basement finishing, home additions, deck builds, and structural repairs, all coordinated by one licensed general contractor rather than a stack of separate subs.

What's the best way to get a construction estimate in Shoreview?

Call (763) 331-2247 and talk to Bob directly. Every project in Shoreview is custom-bid after a site visit, not quoted off a square-footage guess.
