Plekkenpol Builders, together with Housing First Minnesota Foundation, is renovating two South Minneapolis apartment units for AVIVO, a nonprofit that specializes in addiction treatment and recovery.

This facility houses women along with their children as they seek services for substance addiction. Safe housing is critical for mothers to focus on recovery, go back to school and find employment.

The projects will include everything from plumbing and electrical to cabinets, countertops and appliances. Project Manager Pam Velander said, “I believe this will give them the tools and work to achieve their goals of a better life.”

The two units are scheduled to be finished by this summer.

We are extremely concerned about the spread of the COVID-19 virus and want to assure you that we are prudently following recommended safety steps.

• Only crucial support staff are working at the office (4 or less) and their work areas are at a safe distance from one another.
• Our staff at the office are sanitizing surfaces, doorknobs, and all other frequently touched areas and items daily.
• Our other staff that typically work at the office, have been provided the tools to work from home.
• If you are invited to come to the office to meet with your Project Manager, we will sanitize the office before your visit and after you leave and practice safe distancing.
• We have asked our customers to follow safety precautions at the jobsite and when visiting the office.
• We have asked our customers to let us know immediately if someone in your household is ill or has been exposed to the virus.
• Our Project Managers are instructed to notify office staff if they intend to come to the office to meet with a customer or get something from their work area that they cannot obtain electronically, so that the space they will use is sanitized.
• Our field staff and associates have been instructed to use recommended safety steps on jobsites and when visiting vendors.
• All staff members are instructed not to come to the office or a jobsite if they are feeling ill or have been exposed to the virus.
• We have asked our employees to let us know immediately if they or someone in their household is ill or has been exposed to the virus, and we will inform our customers and vendors if you may have been exposed.

We ask that both employees, associates and homeowners minimize unnecessary face-to-face and hand-to-hand contact to slow the potential spread of the virus.

We will continue to make thoughtful decisions as we navigate this unexpected and serious situation. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for doing your part to help keep others safe. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Project Manager, your Production Supervisor or call our office at 952-888-2225.

COVID-19 Preparedness Plan

2020 marks 50 years in business for us! What started in 1970 as a one-person operation in Craig and Judy Plekkenpol’s home has grown into one of the area’s premier design-build remodelers, employing over 50 people and providing high-quality design and construction services to homeowners throughout the Twin Cities.

We are thrilled to have reached this milestone, and we credit our dedicated and talented team of employees for our longevity and success. We want to acknowledge our customers as well and thank them for their decades of patronage. It is very rewarding to know that much of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals.

We look forward to creating residential remodeling projects that are as functional as they are beautiful for many more years to come.
