"I started Lakeside after years at large nationwide contractors because I wanted to do this the right way — where the homeowner actually knows what's happening, the crew shows up when they say they will, and nobody cuts corners because they're rushing to the next job. That's still how we operate on every single project."

COMMON QUESTIONS

Homeowners Ask. We Answer.

Straight answers to the questions we get most. No runaround.

What is the best exterior remodeling company in the Twin Cities?

The best exterior remodeling company for your home depends on experience, installation quality, product selection, warranties, and customer reviews. Lakeside Exteriors serves homeowners throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Wayzata, Golden Valley, and surrounding communities with replacement windows, siding, roofing, doors, exterior painting, and complete home exterior renovations.

How much does it cost to replace windows in Minnesota?

Replacement window costs vary based on window size, style, brand, and installation requirements. Most homeowners can expect costs to range from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars per window. Lakeside Exteriors installs Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia windows and provides free estimates throughout the Twin Cities metro.

What home improvements provide the best return on investment?

Replacement windows, siding, roofing, entry doors, and exterior painting are among the most valuable exterior improvements homeowners can make. These upgrades can improve appearance, energy efficiency, and resale value.

How long does a roof replacement take?

How do I know if my home needs exterior remodeling?

Signs may include drafty windows, damaged siding, missing shingles, fading paint, rising energy bills, moisture issues, or an outdated exterior appearance. A professional exterior inspection can help identify which improvements will provide the greatest benefit.

Most residential roof replacements can be completed within one to three days, depending on the size of the roof, weather conditions, and project complexity. Larger projects may require additional time.

Yes. Replacement windows can improve curb appeal, energy efficiency, comfort, and resale value. Many homeowners choose new windows to modernize their home's appearance and reduce heating and cooling costs.

What is the difference between full-frame and insert window replacement?

What are the best replacement windows for Minnesota winters?

The best replacement windows for Minnesota winters are energy-efficient windows designed to handle extreme temperature changes. Features such as Low-E glass, insulated frames, and multi-pane glass help improve comfort and reduce energy loss. Popular choices include Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia replacement windows.

Full-frame window replacement removes the entire existing window and frame so hidden damage can be addressed and insulation can be improved. Insert replacement keeps the existing frame in place. Lakeside Exteriors specializes in full-frame window replacement to provide a more complete installation.

What is the best siding for homes in Minnesota?

The best siding depends on your goals, budget, and home style. Many Minnesota homeowners choose James Hardie fiber cement siding, LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, or MarketSquare vinyl siding because they perform well in Minnesota's weather conditions.
