WHY CHOOSE REPLACEMENT

Minnesota’s Harsh Weather

Generally, Minnesota siding lasts between 20 to 50 years before needing replacement, but extreme weather conditions, including high winds, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV rays wear down materials.

We now have the prettiest house in the neighborhood! PEI did an excellent job on the exterior of our home. They helped with the design, executed the vision perfectly, and their pricing was very competitive. James, the project coordinator, was a pleasure to work with. We had old steel siding and went with LP (board and batten style) and added new decorative stone work. The craftsmen were professional, very detailed oriented, had excellent communication during the project, cleaned everything up and were very personable. We are super happy and it gives us joy to see the finished product – a high return on investment!

Siding, 5-Star Google Review

Massive shout out to Randy Asher and Dan Breacher for going above and beyond my expectations with repairing my home from hail damage. Randy did an excellent job explaining the claims process and was extremely helpful keeping me in the know of what was going on every step of the way. Dan and his crew lead Jose did phenomenal work on my house, between getting me all new siding/ accessories, complete roof and repairing rot they found during the process. I am thoroughly impressed with their craftsmanship, attention to detail and genuine care they had for my home. I would go out of my way to recommend their services to anyone. They are genuine good people that care and take pride in their work.

Siding Frequently Asked Questions

How long does siding last in Minnesota?
Depending on the material, proper installation, and maintenance, siding can last anywhere from 20 to over 50 years. Minnesota’s weather can shorten its lifespan.
How do I know if my siding needs to be replaced?

Common signs your siding may need replacement include:

  • Cracks, holes, or broken panels
  • Warping or buckling
  • Loose or missing siding
  • Rot or soft spots
  • Mold or mildew growth
  • Bubbling or blistering paint
  • Faded color
  • Higher heating and cooling costs
  • Water stains inside your home
  • Frequent repairs

Even if damage appears minor, moisture may already be getting behind your siding. A professional inspection can determine whether repairs or replacement are the better long-term solution.

Can you repair the siding instead of replacing it?
Yes. If the damage is localized and matching materials are available, repairs are often possible. During your free inspection, we’ll let you know whether repair or replacement is the better long-term solution.
What type of siding is best for Minnesota?
The best siding depends on your home’s style, maintenance preferences, budget, and performance goals. We install vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, steel, composite, cedar, and other siding systems to match your needs.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes. We have extensive experience documenting storm damage and assisting homeowners throughout the insurance restoration process by providing detailed inspections and supporting documentation.
Should I replace my roof and siding at the same time?
Many homeowners choose to complete both projects together after storm damage or during a major exterior renovation. Coordinating the work can improve efficiency, reduce disruption, and create a cohesive finished appearance.
Can hail damage siding without creating holes?

Yes. Many homeowners assume siding is undamaged if there aren’t obvious holes. Hail can create:

  • Hairline cracks
  • Fractures beneath the surface
  • Dents
  • Chipped finishes
  • Weakened panels that fail later

Professional inspections often identify damage that’s difficult to see from the ground.

Can wind damage siding?

Absolutely. Strong winds may:

  • Pull panels loose
  • Break locking systems
  • Damage trim
  • Lift corner pieces
  • Allow water behind the siding

Even one loose panel can allow moisture into the wall assembly.

What happens if water gets behind my siding?

Water intrusion can eventually cause:

  • Mold growth
  • Rotting wall sheathing
  • Insulation damage
  • Interior drywall damage
  • Structural deterioration

Early repairs can prevent much more expensive restoration work.
