Construction Company in Belle Plaine Minnesota
Home
Behnke Construction, Inc. serves Belle Plaine and the surrounding Minnesota communities with dependable commercial, residential, and agricultural construction. As an independently owned and family operated contractor, we believe every project deserves the same attention to detail, whether it is a quick emergency repair after a storm or a full ground up build. Our team shows up on time, communicates clearly, and delivers a finished product that holds up to the way you live and work. When we say no job too big or too small, we mean it. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
Clients choose us because we combine local knowledge with proven craftsmanship. From the first on site walkthrough to the final cleanup, we keep the process simple and stress free. You will always know what is happening, who is on site, and when each step will be complete. We coordinate permits, manage materials, and schedule trades so you get a smooth path from idea to completion. If an unexpected issue comes up, we address it quickly and explain your options in plain language.
Our commercial experience covers offices, retail spaces, hospitality renovations, and light industrial improvements. Business owners value our ability to work around operating hours, protect customer areas, and meet tight timelines without sacrificing quality. On the residential side, we help homeowners reimagine kitchens and bathrooms, finish basements for more usable space, and plan additions that blend naturally with the existing home. Agricultural projects are a core part of our work as well, including post frame buildings, machine sheds, livestock facilities, and storage solutions built to withstand Minnesota weather.
Insurance restoration and storm damage are areas where fast action and solid documentation make a difference. We provide thorough assessments, detailed scopes of work, and clear photos to support your claim. Our team coordinates with your adjuster so your property gets back to normal quickly. If you need help the day a storm hits, we offer emergency services to secure the site, prevent further damage, and protect your investment while the full repair plan is prepared.
Quality is more than a nice finish. It is the framing you do not see, the flashing that keeps water out, the ventilation that prevents moisture issues, and the fasteners that hold long after the paint has dried. We choose reliable materials, follow manufacturer guidelines, and build to code. Our goal is to hand you a project that looks great on day one and continues to perform year after year.
About
Behnke Construction, Inc. is a family operated company built on straightforward values. We answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we stand behind our work. The business grew from hands on experience in the field, where timeliness and craftsmanship are non negotiable. That background guides every decision we make today. We maintain a practical crew size that allows us to be responsive while keeping oversight tight on each job.
Our approach is simple. First, we listen. We want to understand why you want to build or renovate, how you use the space, what your budget targets are, and what concerns you have. Second, we make a plan that fits. That plan includes clear milestones, realistic lead times, and a scope that matches your goals. Third, we execute the work safely and cleanly. We protect adjacent spaces, respect your schedule, and leave the site orderly at the end of each day.
Community matters to us. We live and work here, and our reputation is tied to the quality of what we build. That is why we partner with trusted local suppliers and trades who share our standards. When your project carries the Behnke name, it reflects the pride we take in the craft and in the relationships we build with clients.
Services
Your business space should work as hard as you do. We handle tenant improvements, office buildouts, retail refreshes, service counters, accessibility upgrades, and back of house reorganizations that improve workflow. Our team develops phased plans to limit downtime and protect customer facing areas. We coordinate electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and life safety requirements so inspections pass cleanly. Whether you need a full reconfiguration or cosmetic improvements to modernize finishes, we deliver a result that supports productivity and brand image.
Residential Construction and Remodeling
Homes change as families grow, and careful remodeling adds comfort and value. We remodel kitchens with smarter layouts, durable surfaces, better storage, and proper task lighting. In bathrooms, we update tile, fixtures, and ventilation for a cleaner, safer space. Basement finishing transforms unused square footage into family rooms, guest suites, play areas, or home offices with code compliant egress and insulation suited to Minnesota seasons. For additions, we focus on roof lines, proportions, and materials that blend with the original structure so the new space feels like it has always belonged.
Agricultural Construction
Agricultural buildings demand tough materials and practical details. We construct machine sheds, equipment storage, livestock facilities, grain handling support structures, and multipurpose post frame buildings. Ventilation, footing design, snow load capacity, and durable cladding all factor into our plans. Doors and openings are sized for modern equipment, and interior layouts are designed with workflow in mind. We know farm schedules are tight and weather windows are short, so we prioritize efficient construction and long lasting solutions.
Insurance Restoration and Storm Damage
Wind, hail, and heavy rain can create complex damage that is not always obvious at first glance. Our team assesses roofs, siding, windows, doors, and structures to document issues accurately. We prepare a clear scope, provide photos, and coordinate with your insurance adjuster. Temporary protection comes first to prevent further damage. Then we move into permanent repairs using quality materials matched to your property. We keep you updated at each step so you can make informed decisions without guesswork.
Emergency Services
When a storm or sudden failure creates a hazard, action cannot wait. We provide board up, tarping, site stabilization, and short term repairs to keep your property safe. Once the immediate risk is controlled, we outline the long term plan and timeline. This fast response protects interiors, prevents water intrusion, and reduces the chance of secondary issues like mold or structural shifts. Save our number so help is close at hand when you need it most.
Basements, Additions, Kitchens, and Bathrooms
Basement finishing turns underused spaces into everyday rooms. We address moisture control, insulation, sound management, and egress to deliver a comfortable, code compliant space. Additions can include primary suites, larger family rooms, mudrooms, or sunrooms. Proper foundation ties, structural connections, and exterior details ensure the new work integrates seamlessly. In kitchens, we improve traffic flow, appliance placement, storage, and lighting so cooking and gathering feel natural. Bathroom updates focus on practical durability with tile, waterproofing, and fixtures that stand up to daily use.
Our Process
Consultation begins with a site visit in Belle Plaine or nearby communities. We review your goals, take measurements, and discuss budget ranges. Next comes planning and estimating, where you receive a written scope and timeline so expectations are clear. During construction, we provide progress updates and coordinate trades to keep work moving. At completion, we walk the site with you, address punch list items, and hand over warranties and care guidance. The same attention continues after the job; if something needs a tweak, we are a phone call away.
Why Local Experience Matters
Minnesota weather tests every detail of a building. We select materials and techniques that handle freeze and thaw cycles, wind exposure, and snow loads. Proper flashing, attic ventilation, and insulation make the difference between a project that looks good today and one that lasts. Because we work here year round, we know what holds up, which products perform, and how to sequence tasks around seasonal conditions. That knowledge protects your investment.
