Your White Bear Lake Contractor for Full-Scope Work

Powerbuilt Construction is a licensed general contractor serving White Bear Lake homeowners who need a kitchen remodel, an addition, or a full lower-level finish managed by one crew from start to finish. MN License #BC533891 is on file and verifiable. Bob Powers runs every job directly, so you're talking to the person doing the work when you call (763) 331-2247, not a scheduler.

White Bear Lake straddles the Ramsey and Washington county line, and the housing near the lake itself skews older, often mid-century cottages that were winterized and expanded over the decades, while the neighborhoods further from the water are newer builds. That mix means permitting and structural review can differ block to block. Powerbuilt has worked both sides of that line and knows what each county's inspection process looks for on a remodel near the water versus a newer build further out.

What Powerbuilt Handles in White Bear Lake

Custom Home Building

Foundation to finish, permitted and managed by Bob directly, whether the lot is near the lake or further inland.

Home Additions

Room additions and second-story additions for White Bear Lake homeowners expanding an older cottage or a newer build.

Kitchen Remodeling

Layouts, cabinets, and structural modifications handled as one coordinated project.

Basement Finishing

Many older White Bear Lake homes have an unfinished or partially finished lower level. We bring it to code.

Deck Construction

Permitted deck builds sited to local setback requirements, which run differently on lakefront lots.

Commercial Construction

Powerbuilt holds residential and commercial licensing for the business district along Highway 61.

Why It Matters

Licensed vs. Unlicensed Work in White Bear Lake

Whether a property sits on the Ramsey or the Washington County side of the city, structural, electrical, and mechanical work requires a permit. An unlicensed contractor can still frame an addition on a White Bear Lake property, but they can't pull the permit, and uninspected work near the water creates real problems at resale. Powerbuilt operates under MN General Contractor License #BC533891 and permits every qualifying job before work starts.

What White Bear Lake Homeowners Actually Hire Us For

Additions and full remodels are the two projects that show up most often on our White Bear Lake job sites.

Additions and second-story build-outs are the most common request we get from White Bear Lake homeowners, usually on an older cottage-style home that's outgrown its original footprint. We also handle a steady volume of kitchen and bathroom remodels in homes that haven't been updated since the original build decades ago. Powerbuilt manages the structural and permitting side of both so the project doesn't stall waiting on a subcontractor who isn't coordinated with the rest of the job.
