Lakeville is one of our two home-base cities, and we know the city's neighborhoods, permit process and the kinds of homes built here.
Lakeville homes and what they need
Lakeville has grown fast. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates, about 48% of Lakeville's homes were built in 2000 or later and another 37% between 1980 and 1999, with a median build year of 1999. Nearly 9 in 10 occupied homes are owner-occupied.
That means many Lakeville homes are reaching the age when original builder-grade materials wear out: roofs and siding that have taken years of hail and wind, windows with failing seals, decks that need new boards or railings, and unfinished lower levels that families now want to use. Lakeville's older neighborhoods, including homes around the original downtown along Holyoke Avenue and older lake homes, often need deeper updates, such as kitchens, bathrooms and energy upgrades.
Services Lakeville homeowners ask for most
- Roof replacement and hail and wind damage repair
- Siding and window replacement
- Basement finishing, including egress windows and lower-level bathrooms
- Kitchen and bathroom remodeling

Why Lakeville homeowners choose Bischel Building
We're a family-owned company with an office just down the road at 100 8th St in Farmington, accredited by the BBB. When you call, you reach people who live and work in the area, not a call center or an out-of-state storm crew. One team handles roofing, exteriors and interiors, so a leak that damaged a ceiling or a remodel that touches several trades is all managed in one place.
Permits in Lakeville
Lakeville's Building Inspections department enforces the Minnesota State Building Code and issues permits online. Re-roofing, re-siding, decks, lower-level finishes, additions and egress windows all need permits. You can look up your property's permit history on the city's Building Inspections page. We pull permits when required and schedule the inspections.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to re-roof or re-side my Lakeville home?
Yes. Lakeville requires permits for re-roofing and re-siding. The city even lets contractors email photos of the ice and water underlayment and house wrap to its inspections team instead of posting them on site. We handle the permit and photos for you.
Can you finish my Lakeville basement?
Yes. Basement finishing is one of the most common projects in Lakeville's newer homes. Lakeville's residential permit includes lower-level framing, insulation and final inspections, plus egress windows, and we schedule all of them.
How quickly can you get to Lakeville after a storm?
Lakeville is right next to our Farmington office, so it's one of the quickest areas for us to reach. Call us and we'll set up an inspection as soon as we can.
Do you work on townhomes and HOA properties in Lakeville?
Yes. We've worked with HOAs and property management firms on roofing and exterior projects, as well as on single-family homes.
