Founded in 1982, Tappe Construction is now the largest framing contractor in the Twin Cities. Thorough and constant training by Tappe experts ensures every project is constructed with the same attention to the best building practices. We also assign a foreman to every job rather than dividing their time and attention among several jobs as smaller companies must do. We even employ our own quality control staff that evaluates every single job site. We’re serious about control, skills and finished quality. That’s why we don’t employ subcontractors.

Ensuring Your Deadline • 300 strong and growing, Tappe has the horsepower and flexibility to meet agreed upon deadlines, accelerated deadlines, regardless of weather, crew illnesses or other obstacles. We also stay on top of the latest code requirements, which often threaten to hold you up. Because we build and install our own panels, we offer additional time savings vs. stick framing. We make you look good by matching your schedule, not the other way around.

Watching Your Back • Our service guarantee means we’ll stand behind our labor quality and deal with any problems long after the job is completed. We’re in the business of earning and keeping your trust. It’s one reason why we’ve continued to grow and why we’ve recently been awarded the National Housing Quality Silver Award.

Saving You Time • We make using Tappe labor easier on you and your people. Since we own our own equipment, cranes, and generators, your job sups will spend less time worrying about and coordinating these logistics. That means they can spend more time dealing with the bigger problems that could delay your projects.

Protecting Your Reputation • Since we represent you in front of your client, it’s very important that we carry a very professional demeanor and appearance, keeping the job site clean and orderly. Your reputation is safe with us.

Ending Pricing Uncertainty While Saving Estimating/Engineering Time • Since we have our own in-house estimating and the ability to value engineer, we can offer you thorough quotes, engineered plans and guaranteed pricing instead of less reliable unit pricing.

As an innovator in construction labor, Tappe is constantly refining the process of framing and interior carpentry. Our goal is to eliminate wasted and unsafe steps and improve cycle times. This commitment to continuous improvement separates Tappe from other conventional local framing labor companies and ensures builders and remodelers will get the greatest value for their money. Because of standardization and our ongoing continuous improvement initiative, our employees are taught standardization practices of carpentry and management. By learning the best carpentry skills and methods, we are able to deliver a timely and quality product to our customers.
