Sometimes you can’t buy exactly what you want so you build it for fun.

This new detached garage was installed in Columbia Heights MN.

This custom cabinet was a notable feature in a downtown condo remodeling project we undertook in collaboration with a designer from James Dayton Design Studio. While we typically handle our own design work at Prima Construction, projects like this offer a refreshing change and a valuable learning experience. It's always enjoyable to join forces with external designers, broadening our creative perspectives.

Finished an unfinished basement, including these stairs

The homeowners were told the floor structure was sound to finish for living space. Due to the spans, the first-floor ceiling joists did not meet the requirements to be second-floor floor joists.

In order to provide a solid base for the new living space, we consulted our engineer. The existing 2x6 members spanned beyond the distance they could while still structurally supporting the new living space floor. We determined throughout most of the space we needed to add in (“sister”) 2 additional 2x6 joists between the existing joists.

Different basements call for different flooring choices - some opt for carpet, while others prefer Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). Here's an example of an unfinished basement we transformed by installing LVT and adding a warm, inviting fireplace to the design.

In this project, the client's request was simple but practical. They wanted us to install spray foam insulation and sheetrock in the attic, transforming it into a cleaner, dust-free storage space.

In a complete condo overhaul we performed in NE Minneapolis, we incorporated custom-built shelves and a fireplace, significantly enhancing the charm and functionality of the space.
