Siding replacement and repair
New siding is one of the highest-return exterior projects there is — and in Minnesota it is also an energy and water-management upgrade, not just a look.
What we install
- Vinyl — best cost per year, no painting, wide color range
- LP SmartSide / engineered wood — the metro favorite: real depth and shadow lines, holds paint well, tougher than vinyl in hail
- Fiber cement (James Hardie type) — heaviest, most durable, best fire resistance, highest labor cost
- Steel — excellent hail resistance
- Soffit, fascia, trim, and wraps
What goes on behind it matters
We do not just hang new siding over old problems. Tear-off, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a proper weather-resistive barrier, flash the windows and doors correctly, and — where it makes sense — add continuous exterior insulation. That flashing detail is what keeps water out of a wall for the next 30 years.
Typical cost
| Material | Installed, per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Vinyl | $6 – $12 |
| Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) | $9 – $16 |
| Fiber cement | $12 – $22 |
| Steel | $13 – $24 |
A typical Twin Cities house lands between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on material and size.

FAQ
What is the best siding for Minnesota?
Engineered wood and steel are the sweet spot for our hail and freeze-thaw. Vinyl is the value pick; fiber cement is the most durable and the most expensive to install.
How much does siding a house cost?
Most Twin Cities homes run $14,000 to $45,000 installed depending on material and square footage.
Can you side over the existing siding?
We do not recommend it. Tear-off lets us inspect the sheathing, install a proper weather barrier, and flash the windows — the parts that actually keep water out.
