Siding · Minneapolis & the Twin Cities
New siding over rotten sheathing is just expensive wallpaper. We're carpenters before we're siders, and we open the wall, fix what water did, and then install siding that can face thirty Minnesota winters. That order is the whole difference.

Here's what the low bid skips: when old siding comes off a Twin Cities home, there's almost always a story underneath: soft sheathing at the gutter lines, rot around window openings, flashing that never existed. Cover it and the new siding looks great for two years while the wall keeps dying behind it. Our crews are led by master-carpenter standards, so the sequence is non-negotiable: strip, inspect, repair the structure, flash correctly, then side. Housewrap and moisture management done to spec, trim and corners built like furniture, caulk lines you'll never think about again.
Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycle is merciless on walls: water that gets behind siding freezes, expands, and pries; sun cooks south faces while ice works the north. Siding chosen and installed for this climate protects the house. Siding installed over problems just hides the receipts.
Fiber cement: the premium standard for Twin Cities re-sides: rot-proof, hail-tough, fire-resistant, and beautiful painted any color you'll ever want. Heavier and more exacting to install, which is a feature when your crew is exacting. [BRAND - confirm before launch]
Engineered wood: real-wood looks with engineered stability; warmer texture than fiber cement, strong hail performance, and friendlier to intricate trim details. [BRAND - confirm before launch]
Steel siding: the north-metro workhorse for hail neighborhoods: seamless options, excellent impact resistance, fade-resistant modern finishes. The practical pick where storms keep scoring the vinyl.
Premium vinyl: the value option, honestly framed: modern heavy-gauge vinyl in the right profile is a legitimate budget choice, and we install it correctly when it fits. We'll also tell you plainly when your exposure (hail, sun, trees) argues for stepping up a tier.
Sample boards come to the evaluation. You'll see the options on your house's light, not a showroom's.
Cracked panels, wind-peeled courses, woodpecker damage, and hail: siding repairs done with color-matching honesty (we'll tell you when a repair will show, and what the options really look like). After hailstorms, siding claims ride along with roofing claims constantly; we document dents and fractures the way carriers need and handle the claim ethically, never inflated, never "free-siding-if-you-sign-today."

Siding rarely travels alone. Fascia, soffit, and trim carpentry; seamless gutters hung after the siding instead of through it; windows flashed into the wall as one system; exterior painting where wood stays in the picture. One accountable local team means the layers actually integrate, and one call when you have a question in year six.
At Right Away Construction, five-star service is the standard... not the goal.
It ranges widely by material and house: vinyl at the value end, fiber cement and engineered wood in the premium band, steel between. After an evaluation you get a firm, itemized proposal with material options priced side by side, so the trade-offs are yours to make with real numbers.
Often yes, and we're honest about the catch: sun-faded siding means a new patch can read slightly different. We'll show you what a repair will look like and what a full-face or full-side option costs, and let you choose with eyes open.
It can: dents in steel and aluminum, fractures in vinyl and fiber cement. Some damage is cosmetic, some is functional, and carriers treat those differently. We document what's actually there and tell you before you file whether it's worth filing.
For most homes: fiber cement or engineered wood for looks and longevity, steel where hail is a repeat visitor, quality vinyl where budget leads. The honest answer depends on your exposure and your plans for the house. That's a ten-minute conversation at the evaluation.
That's exactly the point of hiring us. Sheathing, framing corners, window bucks: our carpentry crew rebuilds what water took before any new siding goes on. You'll see photos of what we found and what we fixed.
Honest materials, real carpentry, and an exterior that's actually protecting the house. Done once, done correctly.
