Effective water management protects your Bloomington home's foundation, landscaping, and structural components from moisture damage. Quality gutter systems require proper sizing for roof area and pitch, adequate downspout capacity and placement, and secure mounting that withstands ice and snow loads. We calculate gutter sizing using roof square footage and pitch to ensure adequate capacity during Minnesota's intense thunderstorms. Seamless aluminum gutters eliminate leak-prone seams while providing superior appearance.
Proper installation includes hidden hangers spaced appropriately for ice load resistance, end caps sealed to prevent water escape, and outlet placement that optimizes flow. Downspout extensions direct water away from foundation walls, preventing basement moisture issues common in older Bloomington homes. Fascia and soffit components serve critical functions beyond aesthetics, providing ventilation pathways and weather protection for roof structure. We repair or replace deteriorated fascia boards before gutter installation, addressing moisture damage and ensuring secure mounting surfaces.

Custom-fabricated seamless aluminum gutters formed on-site for perfect fit and minimal seams. Our installations use hidden hanger systems spaced for Minnesota ice loads, proper pitch for water flow, and sealed end caps. We calculate appropriate gutter sizing based on roof area, include adequate downspouts, and extend discharge points away from foundation walls for effective water management.
Professional installation of gutter protection systems reducing maintenance while preventing clogs from leaves and debris. We offer multiple guard styles including micro-mesh screens, solid covers with surface tension technology, and foam inserts. Product selection considers roof pitch, tree coverage, and ice dam potential. Proper installation maintains gutter pitch and integrates with existing shingle edges.
Repair and replacement of damaged fascia boards and soffit panels protecting roof structure and providing attic ventilation. We address moisture damage from failed gutters or ice dams, replace deteriorated wood with treated lumber or composite materials, and install vented soffit panels that ensure adequate attic airflow. Aluminum wrapping options provide low-maintenance alternatives to painted wood trim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Exterior Remodeling can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
Most residential exterior projects in Bloomington require permits when changing structural elements, replacing significant building components, or modifying footprint. Roofing replacement generally doesn't require permits for tear-off and replacement, though adding structural elements does. Deck construction over 200 square feet or 30 inches high requires permits including structural plans and inspections. Siding replacement typically doesn't need permits unless changing wall structure or adding insulation requiring electrical work. Window replacement in existing openings usually doesn't require permits, while enlarging or adding new openings does. Our team handles permit applications when required, providing necessary documentation and coordinating inspections. Building without required permits creates complications during home sales and potentially voids insurance coverage. We ensure all work meets current building codes regardless of permit requirements, protecting your investment and ensuring safety compliance.
Project duration varies significantly based on scope, size, and weather conditions. Complete roof replacements typically require 1-3 days for residential homes. Full house siding installations generally take 1-2 weeks depending on home size and material complexity. Window replacement projects average 1-3 days for whole-house projects. Exterior painting requires 5-10 days including preparation, application, and drying time between coats. Custom deck construction takes 1-3 weeks from foundation to completion. Complex projects combining multiple services extend timelines accordingly. Minnesota weather significantly impacts scheduling, with winter months limiting certain exterior work. We provide realistic timelines during estimates and communicate any delays from weather or material availability. Rush scheduling sometimes available for emergency repairs though quality workmanship shouldn't be compromised for speed.
We serve Bloomington and surrounding communities including Richfield, Edina, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, Eagan, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park. Our service area extends throughout the Twin Cities metro region typically within 30 miles of Bloomington. We focus on southern and western suburbs where our crews efficiently travel between projects maintaining quality service. Bloomington's central location allows us to serve most Twin Cities communities effectively. Projects outside our standard service area may be possible depending on scope and scheduling. Our local focus ensures rapid response for emergencies, efficient project management, and familiarity with local building requirements and common housing characteristics throughout the region. We maintain relationships with local suppliers ensuring material availability and supporting the regional economy.
We provide comprehensive warranty coverage protecting your investment in exterior improvements. Workmanship warranties typically span 5-10 years covering installation defects and labor issues. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product type, with premium products offering 25-50 year coverage on siding and roofing materials. We register all products with manufacturers activating transferable warranties that benefit future homeowners. Window and door warranties typically include lifetime coverage on frames and seals with shorter terms on hardware. Our written warranties specify coverage terms, claim procedures, and maintenance requirements. We stand behind our work and address warranty issues promptly. Material failures are handled directly with manufacturers when covered under product warranties. Proper maintenance affects warranty validity, with documentation of recommended care required for some coverage. We provide maintenance guidelines with all completed projects.
We accept multiple payment methods including checks, credit cards, and bank transfers for your convenience. Typical payment structure includes deposit at contract signing (often 25-30% for material ordering), progress payments at project milestones, and final payment upon completion and your satisfaction. Large projects may include multiple progress payments aligned with work stages. We provide detailed payment schedules in written contracts before work begins. Credit card processing available though potentially subject to processing fees depending on transaction size. Financing options may be available through third-party lenders for qualified customers on larger projects. We require payment in full before leaving completed projects unless alternative arrangements were established in writing. Material deposits are often non-refundable once ordering begins. We provide detailed invoices documenting all work performed and materials supplied. Payment terms are clearly specified in contracts with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Absolutely. We provide detailed written estimates free of charge for all exterior projects. Our estimators visit your property, assess existing conditions, discuss your goals and preferences, take measurements, and identify any underlying issues requiring attention. Estimates include comprehensive breakdowns of materials, labor, project timeline, and warranty information. We explain various material options with associated costs helping you make informed decisions within your budget. Estimates remain valid for specified periods (typically 30-60 days) though material prices occasionally require adjustment if projects delay significantly. We never pressure customers to make immediate decisions. Our detailed estimates allow meaningful comparison with other contractors. We're happy to answer questions and provide additional clarification on any estimate elements. Scheduling estimates is simple through phone or online contact, with most estimates provided within 3-5 business days of site visits. Emergency situations receive priority scheduling for assessment and estimates.
Minnesota properties with nearby trees require gutter cleaning at least twice annually, typically in late spring after seed drop and fall after leaf accumulation. Properties with heavy tree coverage may need additional cleanings preventing clogs causing overflow during intense summer thunderstorms. Clogged gutters direct water against fascia boards and down foundation walls causing structural damage, basement moisture, and landscaping erosion. Fall cleaning proves especially critical preventing ice dams when trapped water freezes in gutters. We inspect gutters during cleaning for developing issues including loose hangers, separated seams, and inadequate downspout discharge. Professional gutter guards substantially reduce cleaning frequency though periodic inspection remains necessary ensuring proper drainage system function.
Five-inch K-style gutters handle water volume adequately for most Bloomington homes with typical roof areas and pitch. Larger homes, steeply pitched roofs, or areas with concentrated water flow benefit from 6-inch gutters offering increased capacity during Minnesota's intense summer thunderstorms. Gutter sizing calculations consider roof square footage, pitch, and valley concentration points. Undersized gutters overflow during heavy rain directing water down foundation walls. We also evaluate downspout quantity and placement ensuring adequate capacity distributing water from gutter systems. Proper sizing prevents overflow while maintaining aesthetic proportions. Northern exposure gutters handling snow melt and ice dam runoff sometimes warrant oversizing for additional capacity during spring thaw periods.
Fascia repair depends on damage extent and moisture source. Isolated rot from failed gutter sections allows targeted board replacement preserving sound material and reducing costs. Extensive deterioration typically justifies complete replacement ensuring secure gutter mounting and proper roof edge protection. We identify moisture sources before fascia repair including inadequate roof edge flashing, missing drip edge, or ice dam damage. New fascia installation uses treated lumber or composite materials resisting moisture damage. Aluminum wrapping over wood fascia provides maintenance-free alternative preventing future deterioration though requiring complete board replacement during installation. Our assessment considers repair costs versus replacement value factoring expected service life and gutter installation requirements.
Gutter guards deliver value for properties with significant tree coverage by substantially reducing cleaning frequency and preventing clogs during Minnesota's heavy rainfall events. Quality guard systems maintain water flow while excluding leaves and debris. However, guards require appropriate product selection for your specific situation considering tree types, roof pitch, and ice dam potential. Micro-mesh systems handle small debris effectively but may trap seeds and needles. Solid covers with surface tension work well in moderate debris environments. We evaluate your property conditions recommending appropriate guard types or advising against installation when conditions don't justify costs. Guards reduce but don't eliminate maintenance, with periodic inspection ensuring proper function and debris removal from guard surfaces.

After three quotes for our ice dam issues, these folks were the only ones who actually explained the thermal dynamics causing the problem rather than just selling heat cables. They upgraded our attic insulation and ventilation, and we haven't had ice dams since. Plus our heating bills dropped noticeably. The crew was professional, thorough with cleanup, and the project manager kept us informed throughout. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with Minnesota winter challenges.

We needed complete exterior transformation including new siding, windows, and deck reconstruction. The estimate was detailed, explaining every component and offering options within our budget. Installation took about three weeks with minimal disruption. They found hidden moisture damage during siding removal and addressed it properly before continuing. The attention to flashing details and moisture barriers impressed us. Our home looks fantastic and we're already noticing improved comfort and lower energy costs.

Emergency roof repair after severe storm. They responded quickly with temporary protection, worked directly with our insurance, and documented everything thoroughly. The adjuster initially missed several damage areas, but their supplement documentation got those included. New roof installation was completed professionally despite weather delays. They also recommended some preventive improvements we implemented while scaffolding was up. Fair pricing, quality work, excellent communication throughout.
