With Duluth’s new Right-to-Repair ordinance taking effect on January 5, 2026, renters will soon have more options for getting small but important home repairs taken care of. At Ingenuity Builders, we’re excited to support our Duluth neighbors with the reliable interior repair work we’ve been known for across Northern Minnesota.

This new ordinance helps renters address everyday repair needs when they’re not being handled in a timely manner — and that’s exactly the kind of work our crew does best.



What Types of Repairs We Can Help With

Ingenuity Builders is licensed, insured, and experienced in the interior repair work renters commonly need. We do clean, professional fixes without the stress, and we always respect your home.

Here’s what we can assist with:

Fixing or replacing window seals

Repairing trim, casing, and baseboards

Patching holes or dents in drywall

Matching existing texture

Repairing damaged ceilings (non-hazardous, cosmetic only)

Interior door repairs or replacements

Flooring repairs or replacement

Installing grab bars and basic accessibility features

Small interior maintenance projects



We Stay in Our Lane

We don’t handle mold testing, mold removal, asbestos work, or anything requiring a specialized abatement subcontractor. If we see something that needs a specialist, we’ll point you in the right direction before work begins — no surprises.



Why Renters Appreciate Working With Us

Since 2002, Ingenuity Builders has built its reputation on high-quality work that’s beautiful, made to fit, and built to last. Renters choose us because we’re:

✔ Clear communicators
✔ Respectful of your home and schedule
✔ Honest about scope and pricing
✔ Local to the Duluth/Northland area
✔ Experienced with interior repairs of all sizes

We bring the same craftsmanship to a trim repair as we do to a full renovation.
