As the Hibbing Jubilee heats up this weekend, so does your home. Northern Minnesota summers might seem short, but they can get surprisingly intense — and if your house isn't keeping up, you're not alone.

At Ingenuity Builders, we work with homeowners all over Hibbing, Chisholm, and surrounding towns who want better comfort, lower energy bills, and real long-term solutions — not just quick fixes.

If your house is hard to cool down, here are a few smart home upgrades that can make a real difference:

1. Upgrade Old Windows — It’s More Than Just Looks:
Older or poorly sealed windows are one of the biggest reasons homes overheat in summer. Replacing them with high-efficiency options — like the Pella windows we measure, order, and deliver ourselves — can:

- Reflect heat and UV rays

- Keep cold air inside

- Help reduce your cooling costs

- Add value to your home

Whether you’re a homeowner or already have a contractor, you can order your Pella windows through us — no stress. We’re the local Hibbing Pella Pros, and we make it easy.


2. Insulation Helps in Summer, Too:
Everyone thinks of insulation in the winter, but it matters just as much in July. Good attic and wall insulation keeps hot air out and your A/C from working overtime. If your house is holding heat — even with new windows — the insulation could be the problem.

We can help assess your home and recommend improvements that actually make a difference.


3. Exterior Upgrades That Cool the Inside:
Your siding, soffit, roof, and even your deck setup can all affect how hot your home gets. If your siding is damaged or faded, it’s likely not insulating well anymore. And if your roof is trapping heat, your attic (and everything below it) will feel it.

We specialize in custom carpentry and remodeling work that makes homes perform better — not just look better.


4. Avoid the “One Fix” Trap:
Many people try to solve comfort issues by throwing money at A/C units or fans. But the real solution is often structural — improving how your house holds in cool air and keeps the heat out.

We offer practical, honest advice and bring decades of combined carpentry experience to every project.

Local. Reliable. No Gimmicks.
We’re proud to be a locally owned business, serving the Iron Range with craftsmanship you can count on for over 20 years!

You’ve found the right crew.

Stay cool, Hibbing. And if your home needs a little help — let’s talk.
