About TenPenny Home

TenPenny Home connects Minnesota and Wisconsin homeowners with vetted local contractors who understand our climate, our soil, and our building codes.

We cover 31 home services across 11 counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin. For the trades where we have vetted a contractor, we approve one per county. If a contractor does not meet our standards, we list no one rather than send you to someone we would not hire ourselves.

How we vet

Our vetted contractors are checked for licensing and insurance, verified reviews, and a real interview. The pages marked with a verification badge show exactly what we confirmed and when.

Why local matters here

Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow load, ice dams, clay soil, and hard water all shape home projects in the Upper Midwest. The contractors we list work in these conditions every season.
