Siding Replacement & Repair In Minneapolis & The Twin Cities
Rated five stars by most homeowners, Google
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.
- The rot gets fixed, not covered. Carpentry-first is our standing policy.
- Strip, inspect, repair the structure, flash correctly, then side.
- Local crews, start to finish. No subcontracted strangers on your walls.

What's Under Your Old Siding?
When old siding comes off a Twin Cities home, there's almost always a story underneath. Our carpentry crew rebuilds what water took before any new siding goes on.
Siding Is A Carpentry Job First
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 and 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.

Siding Materials, Honestly Compared
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.
Engineered Wood
Real-wood looks with engineered stability; warmer texture than fiber cement, strong hail performance, and friendlier to intricate trim details.
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.
Siding Repair & Storm Damage
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 inspect honestly and tell you whether you actually have damage. If you do, we document it and write our own itemized estimate for the work. We talk to your adjuster about two things: what is damaged, and what it costs to fix. We price the work honestly: never inflated, never "free-siding-if-you-sign-today."
That Is Where Our Lane Ends
We do not represent you, adjust your claim, or negotiate on your behalf. You own the claim. If your carrier denies it, we stop, we hand you everything we have documented at no charge, and what happens next is yours to decide.
One Team For The Whole Envelope
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.

Siding FAQ
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. We document what's actually there and tell you whether you actually have damage. Whether to file is your call. We cannot tell you what your policy covers, and by Minnesota law we are not allowed to.
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.
