We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    Our first task is to remove your existing siding while carefully preserving the underlying sheathing. Depending on the project’s size and the type of existing siding, this typically takes two to seven days. While materials like vinyl or cedar can be quickly removed, others, such as stucco or stone, may require more time. For new homes, we skip this step.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection

    We meticulously examine your sheathing for any signs of damage, such as rot or mold, that may require repairs before installation begins. We’ll provide a cost estimate if repairs are needed and inform you of the expected timeframe, whether that’s a few hours or several days. Fortunately, most homes don’t need sheathing repair, so we typically proceed smoothly to the next step.

  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    We enhance your walls’ durability by installing a rain screen, which promotes airflow between the sheathing and siding. This is an optional but recommended step, especially considering Minneapolis’s summer humidity and winter snowfalls. We also add building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh to safeguard against water damage.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    Next, we install the siding and trim boards around windows, doors, soffits, overcap corners, and fascia boards. We incorporate insect screens, flashings, dryer vents, and light fixture boxes. Then, we meticulously apply touch-up paint to nails, ensuring a seamless, professional finish. Most installations take between 7 and 10 days, considering siding type, home size, and custom finishes.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    Finally, we ensure a pristine property by cleaning up and recycling all construction debris, following industry best practices for disposal. The only evidence of our presence will be your stunning new siding, magically transforming your home’s exterior.

FAQ

Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.

Do you need to see my home in person before giving a siding estimate?

Minneapolis homes – whether older craftsman houses, classic bungalows, or newer suburban builds – each have different exterior conditions. An on-site visit lets us check for freeze-thaw damage, measure accurately, examine moisture barriers, and assess the overall structure. This ensures we give you a quote based on real needs, not assumptions.

What factors influence the cost of new siding?

Pricing depends on your home’s size, architectural complexity, siding material, and whether we need to remove your old siding. Homes in Minneapolis often require additional insulation, moisture protection, or repairs due to winter weather, ice dams, and long-term temperature swings—all of which can affect cost.

Can you help if my siding damage might qualify for an insurance claim?

Absolutely. Minneapolis often experiences hailstorms, high winds, and heavy snow loads. If your siding was damaged by weather, we can document the issue, provide findings for your adjuster, and help you navigate the insurance process.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Minnesota?

Yes. We carry proper licensing along with full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects your home, your investment, and our team throughout the entire installation process.

How long does siding installation take from start to finish?

Most siding projects take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on material availability, weather conditions, and the size of your home. Winter weather and spring storms may cause delays, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Can you assist with HOA rules or any required permits?

Definitely. Many suburban Minneapolis communities have HOAs with specific exterior guidelines. We assist with design submissions, color approvals, and any necessary city permits to keep your project fully compliant.

What should I do if something doesn’t look right after my siding is installed?

Simply contact us. If it’s covered under your warranty, we’ll inspect it promptly and resolve the issue. We stand behind our workmanship and want your siding to perform flawlessly.

How long does new siding typically last in Minneapolis?

Depending on the materials and upkeep, siding can last 25 to 50+ years. Fiber cement and engineered wood hold up especially well against winter stress, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

Will you remove my old siding before installing the new material?

In most cases, yes. Removing old siding allows us to inspect sheathing, insulation, and moisture barriers—critical steps in a region where winter weather can hide underlying damage.
