About us
About Elevate Community Management.
Founded in 2025, Elevate brings association operations and residential construction experience to community management across the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. Our standards center on clear financial reporting, responsive communication and documented follow-through.
Our story
Steve and Dmitriy founded Elevate to bring their association and construction experience into one management team. Their goal is practical: give volunteer boards the information and operational support they need to care for their communities.
The founders bring complementary experience. Steve spent more than forty years working with homeowners associations and management companies. Dmitriy spent more than twenty years in residential construction, a becoming a licensed general contractor at 23 and working on renovations, new homes and additions, including projects involving homeowners associations.
That combination informs how we organize the work: an agreed scope, named responsibility, financial records the board can review and vendor work coordinated against clear expectations. The board keeps its decisions and can inspect the information behind our recommendations.

What we hold ourselves to
Four commitments, stated so you can measure us against them.
Improve communication
Clear channels, stated response times, and modern tools that keep owners informed. A published standard — replies within one business day — that we expect boards to hold us to.
Financial transparency
Monthly, detailed financial reporting to the whole board. Association-owned accounts, reserves held separately, and numbers presented so a non-accountant can question them.
Reliable vendors
Vetted, insured trades selected on leveled bids. No markups, no referral fees — a bid reaches your board exactly as it reached us.
Concerns handled promptly
Every owner inquiry tracked from intake to resolution, so nothing depends on someone remembering. Responsiveness is a system, not a personality trait.
Our company and our experience
Elevate’s company history begins in 2025. The decades of experience described on this site belong to our team members’ careers. We make that distinction so your board can evaluate both the business and the people responsible for its work.
Compare the responsibilities we handle in our management services, then ask how the scope would work for your property and board. Your proposal identifies the work, fee and service expectations.
