Hear From Our Valued Clients

We made an excellent choice using Wensmann Contractors for our remodel. It was very extensive. Flooring, countertops, ceilings, closet demo and built ins, fireplace remodel floor to ceiling, tile, painting, door framing, new plumbing, and more. From bid, planning, construction, and completion it was a great professional and fun project. The whole crew is great throughout the process (we have kids and pets and they were wonderful to work within our space and busy life). The bid to final cost was very accurate. Their knowledge was shown as obstacles came up and our options were laid out. They have a wide range of services/skills. And a solid awareness of being cost effective and operating within a budget. The timeline was fair and when we made changes, they accommodated without hesitation. Professional, cost effective, skilled, and great customer service.

Joe Schwarzkopf

Excellent company! We had them help us with a major floor issue in an area of our home. Greg was super helpful and creative in coming up with a solution so this doesn’t happen again. The new flooring looks amazing and we couldn’t be happier! We also had great customer service and communication throughout the project!

Lindsey

We ended up purchasing a home instead of building, but if we ever need work done or do decide to build in the area in the future, Wensmann is the only contractor we’ll deal with. The communication from Greg and Courtney put every other contractor we dealt with in the area to shame; It’s not even remotely close.

Common Questions About Building & Remodeling in Big Lake

What are the specific shoreland regulations for a project on Big Lake?

Projects on Big Lake or Mitchell Lake must adhere to Sherburne County's shoreland ordinances. These rules govern building setbacks from the water, impervious surface coverage (driveways, patios, etc.), and vegetation management. We are experts in these regulations and will ensure your project is fully compliant.

What is the permitting process like in Sherburne County?

A building permit from Sherburne County is required for most new construction, additions, and major renovations. The process involves submitting detailed plans for review to ensure they meet all state and local building codes. We handle all plan submissions and inspections for you.

How do you accommodate the needs of commuting families?

We understand that many Big Lake residents commute. We are adept at creating functional spaces like home offices and organized mudrooms. We also maintain clear and consistent communication through phone, email, and on-site meetings that can be scheduled to fit your busy lifestyle.
