Minnesota's severe weather events cause significant damage to exterior systems requiring rapid response to prevent secondary issues. Wind damage compromises roof integrity through shingle loss, flashing displacement, and structural uplift. Hail creates impact damage on siding, gutters, and roofing materials, often requiring complete replacement. Ice dams cause water intrusion damaging interior finishes and insulation systems. Our storm response begins with comprehensive damage assessment documenting all affected systems for insurance claims.
Photographic evidence, detailed measurements, and material specifications support claim submissions. We provide temporary protection measures including emergency board-up, tarp installation, and water extraction to prevent further damage. Permanent repairs follow proper sequencing, addressing structural issues before cosmetic restoration. We work directly with insurance adjusters to ensure complete damage documentation and appropriate repair scope. Our restoration process returns homes to pre-loss condition while implementing improvements that reduce future storm vulnerability.

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.
We maintain 24/7 emergency response capability during severe weather events providing temporary protection preventing additional damage to Bloomington properties. Our emergency services include board-up of broken windows, roof tarping over damaged areas, water extraction from interior spaces, and immediate assessment of structural concerns. Response time depends on storm extent and service demand though we prioritize active water intrusion and exposure situations. We document emergency measures as part of comprehensive insurance claims. Temporary protection stabilizes properties while permanent repair planning proceeds. Our emergency response team carries essential materials including tarps, fasteners, and boarding supplies allowing immediate site protection.
Coverage depends on your specific policy, damage type, deductible amount, and policy exclusions. Most homeowner policies cover sudden storm damage including wind, hail, and falling trees. However, policies typically exclude maintenance-related deterioration, cosmetic damage not affecting function, and pre-existing conditions. We provide detailed damage documentation supporting claims but cannot guarantee insurance coverage. Our experience working with adjusters helps identify all covered damage ensuring complete assessment. We explain coverage limitations honestly and recommend appropriate improvements beyond insurance scope when properties show additional issues. Thorough documentation during initial assessment prevents supplement battles later when additional damage becomes apparent during repair work.
Comprehensive documentation includes detailed photography from multiple angles showing damage extent, written descriptions of all affected systems, material specifications for damaged components, and complete estimates including labor and materials. We photograph subtle damage easily overlooked including hail impacts on vents and flashings, wind damage to roof edge details, and secondary damage from water intrusion. Documentation includes pre-loss condition assessment, damage-specific observations, and repair methodology. We provide adjusters with detailed material specifications ensuring appropriate replacement rather than inferior substitutes. Our experience with insurance protocols helps secure appropriate settlements covering complete repairs. We supplement documentation when initial adjustments miss damage or undervalue repair scope.
Insurance covers restoring pre-loss condition using comparable materials, with policyholders responsible for upgrade costs exceeding baseline coverage. However, storm damage repairs offer opportunities implementing improvements enhancing future durability when investing additional funds. We identify sensible upgrades including impact-resistant shingles in hail-prone areas, heavier gauge gutters resisting damage, and enhanced roof ventilation preventing ice dams. Upgrade recommendations balance cost with performance improvement avoiding unnecessary expenses. Some improvements including ice dam prevention measures deliver long-term savings through reduced heating costs and future damage prevention. We provide separate pricing for insurance-covered work and optional upgrades allowing informed decisions about additional investment during necessary repairs.

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.
Michael T., Bloomington homeowner

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.
Jennifer S. Burnsville, homeowner

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.
