From a pickup truck
and a plan — to a full irrigation & contracting team
After graduating from Mankato State University in 1999 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Brent began his career at Polaris Industries in Roseau, Minnesota. Life took an unexpected turn when a serious ATV accident forced him to return home to recover — and it was during that time that the idea of building something of his own first took root.
Once healed, Brent moved back to the Twin Cities and launched Image Property Management, which later became Image Contracting. What began as a small operation grew steadily as Brent earned a reputation for honesty, quality work, and the kind of reliable service that gets you called back season after season.
"We're just getting started."
— Brent Johnstone, FounderImage Contracting has since expanded to include office staff, multiple construction crews, and a full irrigation division with its own installation and service team — handling everything from new residential sprinkler systems to commercial irrigation, spring startups, and fall winterizations across the North Metro.
