Your St. Francis Contractor for Rum River Homes, Additions, and Shops

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving St. Francis in Anoka County, handling basement finishing, home additions, pole barns and detached garages, kitchen remodeling, and the rest of the residential and commercial work a St. Francis 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.

St. Francis sits on the Rum River along Highway 47 in northern Anoka County, a small city with a compact downtown, a school district that anchors the north end of the county, and a surrounding belt of rural acreage and newer subdivisions built through the 2000s. The subdivision homes are mostly split-entries and two-stories from the 1990s and 2000s, and the common projects there are basement finishes, deck replacements, and kitchen updates. The older homes closer to downtown and along the river bring additions and structural repairs, and the acreage brings pole barns and detached garages.

Ham Lake, our home base, is about 20 minutes southeast of St. Francis by way of Viking Boulevard. Permits for St. Francis projects go through the City of St. Francis building department, and Powerbuilt pulls them on every qualifying job before work starts, not after an inspector flags it.

What Powerbuilt Handles in St. Francis

Basement Finishing

Egress windows, framing, insulation, and bathrooms that turn a St. Francis lower level into code-compliant living space.

Home Additions

Room and second-story additions, planned around river setbacks or septic placement where they apply.

Pole Barns and Detached Garages

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

Kitchen Remodeling

Layout changes, cabinetry, and countertops, including load-bearing wall work when an open plan is the goal.

Deck Construction

Composite and pressure-treated decks on frost footings with code-compliant ledger connections.

Commercial Construction

Tenant improvements and build-outs for St. Francis retail and office space under a licensed general contractor.

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in St. Francis

St. Francis issues its own building permits and inspects structural, plumbing, and mechanical work. Properties along the Rum River can fall under shoreland or floodplain review that limits where an addition or deck can go, and acreage on well and septic adds setbacks of its own. An unlicensed contractor cannot pull the permit, so none of that gets checked. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891 and permits every qualifying job before work starts.

What St. Francis Homeowners Hire Powerbuilt For

A quick drive from our Ham Lake shop, with subdivision and rural work in equal measure.

Basement finishing on 2000s split-entries and two-stories is the most frequent St. Francis project, usually with an egress window, a bathroom, and a family room. Deck rebuilds and kitchen remodels follow. On acreage outside town, Powerbuilt builds pole barns, workshops, and room additions sited around the well and drainfield. Commercial tenant improvements along Highway 47 run under the same license.
