"I am very pleased with the work done! Cannot say enough good-great things about the company and their workers. Will definitely use them again! Great Job!!"

"Kindal's team did an awesome job renovating our bathroom at our Airbnb "cottage" rental. We had to strip it back to the studs and their drywall work and everything else was seamless! 100% recommend!"

-Jill Barrett

"Ingenuity Builders cut spaces and installed windows and a patio door along the south-facing side of the house. The windows are beautiful, easy to clean and they keep out the cold air. They transformed our plain, manufactured home into a bright space with great views of the birds and flowers."

-Marianne Jylha

"The builders did an excellent job on our new cabin windows! Kindal was easy to work with, demonstrates flexibility with ideas, and proves to have an eye for detail. Our neighbors were so impressed by their professionalism and quality of work that they asked for their contact information. I would not hesitate to hire them again for future work. You can see their work on instagram under Ingenuitybuildersllc."

Making Homes Safer: Ingenuity Builders’ New Accessibility Services

Posted on Friday, October 17th, 2025 by Ingenuity Builders

At Ingenuity Builders LLC, we’ve always been dedicated to improving how homes work for real people. As our community grows and needs change, we’re proud to introduce a new branch of services focused entirely on home accessibility modifications — designed to help you or your loved ones live safely, comfortably, and independently.


Why We Expanded Into Accessibility Work;

After years of remodeling and custom carpentry across Northern Minnesota, we saw a growing need among clients recovering from surgery, aging in place, or adapting to new mobility needs. Too often, homeowners face unsafe conditions simply because their homes weren’t built with accessibility in mind.

That’s why we created a dedicated branch focused on Accessibility Services — practical, professional modifications that make everyday living easier and safer without sacrificing style or craftsmanship.


What We Offer:

Our accessibility services include:

- Grab Bar Installation – For bathrooms, hallways, and entryways to improve balance and safety.

- Doorway & Threshold Modifications – To make movement between rooms smoother and more wheelchair or walker friendly.

- Mobility Ramp Solutions – Custom ramps designed for your home’s layout to ensure easy, secure access.

- Handle & Hardware Replacements – Lever-style handles, non-slip knobs, and other thoughtful details that make daily use simpler.

- Handrail Installation – Indoors or outdoors, for stairways, porches, and more.

We focus on function, safety, and peace of mind, combining our craftsmanship with trusted accessibility products and materials.

Why Choose Ingenuity Builders:

Accessibility changes should be handled with the same care and precision as any major remodel — and that’s where our experience stands out. Every installation is performed by licensed professionals who understand both building codes and real-world use.

Whether you’re helping a loved one transition home from care or simply planning ahead, we make sure your home is ready before you are. From Duluth to the Iron Range, our team provides dependable service, quick response times, and respectful communication from start to finish.

Ready to Get Started?

If you’re in need of home accessibility updates — from grab bars to ramps or threshold modifications — call or text (218) 206-6622 or visit View Here!

We’ll help you make the changes that matter most, so your home can keep working for you.

Preserving History: Repairing the Sod Hut at the Minnesota Discovery Center

Posted on Friday, September 12th, 2025 by Ingenuity Builders

At Ingenuity Builders, we’re always honored to work on projects that connect the past to the present. One of the most meaningful projects we’ve had the privilege of working on was the repair and restoration of the historic Sod Hut at the Minnesota Discovery Center in Chisholm, MN.

A Piece of Iron Range History:

The Sod Hut is more than just a building — it’s a living reminder of how Minnesota’s early settlers and immigrants survived and thrived on the Iron Range. Built with blocks of sod and natural materials, these humble homes were a first shelter for many families who came to this region to mine, farm, and build a life. Standing inside the Sod Hut, you can almost feel the resilience and determination that defined life in northern Minnesota generations ago.


Our team stepped in to:
Repair and stabilize the hut’s framework
Refresh aging materials while keeping true to the original look and feel
Ensure the hut remains safe and accessible for visitors of all ages

It was a rewarding project, not only because of the craftsmanship it required, but because of the story behind it. We don’t just build new — we also protect and preserve what matters most to our communities.

Why It Matters:

Projects like this highlight the importance of historic preservation on the Iron Range and in Duluth, MN. They remind us that our work as builders isn’t only about the present — it’s also about honoring the past and ensuring these stories live on.

We’re thankful to the Minnesota Discovery Center for calling us for this one-of-a-kind project. The next time you’re visiting the Center, make sure to stop by the Sod Hut, step inside, and imagine what life was like for Minnesota’s pioneers.
