Powerbuilt is based in Ham Lake and works regularly throughout Hennepin County, including St Louis Park and the surrounding southwest metro neighborhoods near Highway 100 and the Minnetonka border. St Louis Park's housing stock runs heavily toward mid-century ramblers and split-levels, and a lot of that square footage is underused. Whether that means a basement finishing project, a kitchen remodel, or a room addition that finally captures the backyard, Powerbuilt brings the full general contractor scope to get it permitted, built, and finished.

What Powerbuilt Builds in St Louis Park

Full-scope general contracting, not just one trade.

01

Kitchen Remodeling

St Louis Park kitchens from the 1960s and 70s were built for a different era. Powerbuilt handles full kitchen remodels: layout changes, cabinet replacement, new flooring, and everything that needs a permit pulled before the first wall comes down.

02

Bathroom Remodeling

From a single full-bath update to a complete master suite renovation, bathroom work is some of the most common remodeling in St Louis Park's older homes. Powerbuilt manages tile, fixtures, plumbing rough-in coordination, and code-compliant ventilation.

03

Home Additions

Instead of selling and moving, more St Louis Park homeowners are expanding their existing footprint. Powerbuilt designs and builds room additions, garage additions, and second-story expansions, handling structural, mechanical, and finish work as the general contractor of record.

04

New Home Construction

Powerbuilt builds custom homes from the ground up. If you have a lot in or near St Louis Park, Bob can walk you through site prep, design coordination, permitting, and construction management through certificate of occupancy.

05

Deck Construction

A deck adds real usable space to a St Louis Park home. Powerbuilt builds decks with permits pulled, proper footings set below frost line, and material choices matched to the home's existing exterior.

06

Commercial Construction

Powerbuilt's license covers commercial work as well. Light commercial build-outs, tenant improvements, and small commercial new construction in the St Louis Park corridor are all within scope.

Why It Matters

Licensed GC vs. Unlicensed Handyman in St Louis Park

St Louis Park is one of the more permit-active suburbs in Hennepin County. The city requires permits for structural changes, electrical, plumbing, and most additions. Hiring someone without a general contractor license means the work may not pass inspection, or worse, may never get inspected at all. That becomes your problem at resale. Powerbuilt holds MN License #BC533891, pulls every required permit, and schedules inspections through the city. You don't have to manage that yourself. We won't take a job that doesn't get permitted correctly, and honestly, any contractor who suggests skipping that step is telling you something important about how they work.

Structural and Specialty Work St Louis Park Homes Need

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Accessory Buildings

Frequently asked questions

Does Powerbuilt Construction pull permits for work in St Louis Park?
Yes. St Louis Park requires permits for structural changes, additions, basement finishing, and most remodeling projects. Powerbuilt handles the permit application directly with the city as the licensed general contractor of record. You don't manage that process. MN License #BC533891 is what makes that possible. Any contractor who tells you a project in St Louis Park doesn't need a permit is worth questioning before you sign anything.
What kinds of remodeling projects does Powerbuilt do in St Louis Park?
Powerbuilt handles kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, home additions, deck construction, accessory buildings, interior structural repairs, and new home construction. St Louis Park's housing stock skews toward ramblers and split-levels from the 1960s through 1980s, so basement and kitchen work comes up often. Commercial projects are also within scope. Every project gets a site visit and scope-based estimate before any work begins.
How far does Powerbuilt travel to projects in St Louis Park?
Powerbuilt is based in Ham Lake and works regularly throughout Hennepin County, including St Louis Park and the southwest metro corridor along Highway 100. The drive from Ham Lake to St Louis Park is roughly 35 to 40 minutes. Bob does site visits across the full service area and won't charge a travel fee for the initial estimate meeting in St Louis Park.
St Louis Park has a lot of older homes. Can Powerbuilt handle the structural surprises those jobs tend to bring?
That's the honest part of remodeling work nobody advertises. Older St Louis Park homes often have modified framing, improper load-bearing wall removals, or outdated materials behind the drywall. Powerbuilt holds a general contractor license specifically because that scope of work requires one. Bob does interior structural repairs, beam replacement, and header corrections. If something unexpected comes up mid-project, it gets handled through proper engineering and permitting, not covered back up.
What is the first step to getting a remodeling estimate in St Louis Park?
Call Bob directly at (763) 331-2247. He'll ask a few questions about the project, then schedule a site visit to the St Louis Park property. Estimates are based on actual conditions, not square-foot formulas. Every job is different, and the only way to price it accurately is to walk the space. Contact options are also available through the site at the contact page.
Does Powerbuilt do commercial contractor work in St Louis Park?
Yes. Powerbuilt's MN general contractor license covers commercial scope, not just residential. Light commercial build-outs, tenant improvements, and small commercial new construction in the St Louis Park area are within the business's capabilities. If you have a commercial project in St Louis Park, the process starts the same way as residential work: a direct call to Bob and a site visit.
