Hibbing, MN
Built for the
Iron Range.
Garages, additions, and remodeling for Hibbing's boom-era homes — houses that have already stood a century of Range winters and deserve work that will stand the next one.
Building in Hibbing
The town that
moved for ore.
Hibbing is the town that literally moved for mining — starting in 1919, hundreds of buildings were hauled two miles south so the Hull-Rust-Mahoning pit could expand into what's now called the Grand Canyon of the North. The houses that line Howard Street and the residential blocks south of it mostly date to that relocation boom: sturdy, mining-company-era homes that were built fast but built to last.
A century on, those homes need what older Range houses always need — a real garage (many lots never got one), an addition that doesn't fight the original roofline, and interiors brought up to date without gutting their character. That's the work we do in Hibbing. It's a longer run from Duluth than our core radius, so we batch Range trips and plan the schedule tight — you get the same owner-led crew without paying for wasted windshield time.
What we build in Hibbing
On the map
An hour and change up Highway 37.
Garages first —
for a reason.
Ask around Hibbing and you'll hear the same thing: the snow comes earlier, sits deeper, and leaves later than it does down by the lake. The Iron Range routinely out-snows Duluth's sheltered neighborhoods, and a winter's worth of scraping windshields at -20°F is what finally pushes most Hibbing homeowners to call about a garage.
We build detached garages sized for Range reality — room for two vehicles plus the snowblower, ice gear, and sleds — with frost footings set for Iron Range ground and trusses rated for the snow load this far north. A standard two-car goes up in 4–8 weeks, which means a fall start still beats the first real storm.

Hibbing questions
Answered.
Do you really come up to Hibbing from Duluth?
Yes. Hibbing is about an hour and a quarter from our Duluth base up Highway 37, and we serve it as part of our Iron Range coverage. We plan Range projects so crew time is spent building, not driving — and your estimate is still free, with a reply within 24 hours.
Can you work on one of Hibbing's older mining-era homes?
That's exactly the housing stock Hibbing has — much of it dates to the 1920s relocation era, when North Hibbing moved south for the mine. We've spent nearly three decades on Northern Minnesota homes of that vintage: balloon framing, plaster walls, undersized openings. We know what's behind the walls before we open them.
How big a garage can I build on a Hibbing city lot?
It depends on your lot's setbacks and the city's zoning rules, which we confirm with Hibbing's building department before design. Most in-town lots take a 24×24 two-car comfortably; larger lots on the edges of town can carry a 26×28 or bigger with storage above.
How long does a garage take in Hibbing?
Typically 4–8 weeks from groundbreaking, weather allowing. On the Range we aim to pour footings well before freeze-up — if you call in late summer, you can realistically park inside before the heavy snow flies.
