Travis Pender is the owner of TAP Construction in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, with over 20 years of experience in residential construction. He studied Carpentry at Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Moorhead and specializes in high-detail interior and exterior work, including remodeling and new home construction.
As a hands-on general contractor, Travis keeps much of the building process in-house, serving as a single point of contact while actively managing projects and performing key work such as framing, siding, and finish carpentry.

Quality is more than a finished product, it’s how the job is done.
We take pride in delivering results that not only look great but stand the test of time.
Every project begins with listening. We work closely with homeowners to understand goals, timelines, and budgets before construction begins. Our hands-on approach ensures consistency, accountability, and attention to detail throughout the entire process.
As a local contractor, we understand the needs of homes in northern Minnesota and take pride in serving our community with dependable construction services.
