About LBR Partners
We’re not just a business, we’re a family. As a husband and wife team with four children – Aiden, Junieth, Hope, and Emma – we bring our passion for all things construction to every project we undertake. With over 15 years of combined experience, we’ve honed our skills to deliver exceptional results, every time.
While my husband is the hands-on expert in the construction process, I bring my administrative and design talents to the table. Our key strengths include our commitment to communication, quality work, top-notch products, and, most importantly, understanding our clients’ needs. And as a bilingual team fluent in Spanish, we can connect with even more clients and truly make their dreams come to life.
We both come from diverse backgrounds – my husband with an industrial engineering background and myself with a finance and business management background. But we share a love for DIY projects that inspired us to become subcontractors and learn everything we could about the construction industry. And now, as owners of LBR Partners, we’re committed to providing the same level of care and attention to our clients that we bring to our own family.
For me, the construction industry runs in my blood. As a child, my father ran a hardwood flooring company, and I was always immersed in the industry – going to bids with him and talking to contractors. It wasn’t until later in life that I realized that this was my true calling: to help others turn their houses into homes they’ll love for years to come.
And with LBR Partners, that’s exactly what we do.
LBR Partners, LLC. provides Residential Remodeling, Construction & Home Repair Services anywhere in the Minneapolis / St. Paul, greater Twin Cities’ metro and surrounding suburbs.

Industry Associations
Meet our team
Belkis Valdivia
CO-FOUNDER, CEO
Hello world! I’m Belkis, the ever-juggling co-founder of LBR Partners. Think of me as the Swiss Army knife of creativity: I snap, sketch, and style spaces with flair. When I’m not donning my many hats in the business world, I’m rocking the mom hat to four amazing kiddos. And did I mention ? I wear my Nicaraguan pride as brightly as a feathered cap. Dive into my world, and let’s make magic together!
Rafael Valdivia
CO-FOUNDER, CONTRACTOR
Hey there! I’m Rafael, the co-founder and go-to GC of LBR Partners. I’m not just any General Contractor; I’m the on-site maestro, balancing everything from project management to hands-on labor. My brain’s always in math mode, and with my industrial engineering background, I’ve mastered the art of precision. Whether I’m solving complex equations or laying the foundation, I bring a touch of magic to every project. Dive into my world, and let’s build something extraordinary together!
Linkon Foley
Administrative Assistant
Hey there! I’m Linkon Foley, the administrative whiz at LBR Partners. When I’m not orchestrating office magic, you can find me jet-setting around the globe or kickboxing for fun. Oh, and I dabble in making tunes too! Fun fact: I made a vibrant entrance into this world, born with a bright orange hue thanks to some enthusiastic carotene. Life’s never dull with me around!
Our Team
Step into an LBR site, and you’ll be greeted with the rhythmic beats of salsa and bachata, setting the stage for our dynamic crew. While they might shy away from the camera, their craftsmanship speaks volumes. At the heart of it all is Fredy, our lead carpenter and on-site maestro. To his right stands Rafael, our precision-driven GC, and to his left, you’ll find Jonny, the carpenter with a penchant for demolition. Their passion isn’t just in building; it’s in the vibrant Latin tunes and infectious moods that make every project a dance of construction. With LBR, it’s not just about the build; it’s about the journey and the joy in every step!
