General Contracting

One accountable point of contact for permits, trades, schedule and site quality across your entire project.

General contracting is the unglamorous half of a good project: knowing which inspection has to pass before insulation, which trade needs two weeks of notice, and who is responsible when a delivery lands short.

As your general contractor, Destiny Home Construction carries the project plan — permitting through completion — as a licensed Minnesota residential building contractor, license #BC756200. That means scheduling subcontractors in the right sequence, walking the site to check work as it goes in, keeping the job clean and secure, and giving you one number to call.

Owners in the Brainerd Lakes Area often struggle to find a general contractor who will simply take the project on and be reachable. That reliability is the service. Calls get returned, trades get called before they are needed, and problems get solved rather than parked.

We are equally comfortable coming in as GC on a project someone else designed, or on a stalled job that needs an organized restart with a clear scope and a realistic sequence to the finish.

Just finished my 3 Season Room. Such a detailed carpenter and took the time to give suggestions that made the room so much more than I ever imagined. The tiled floors are marvelous! Such a great experience!
