"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."
-Freddie Macalus, Owner, Lakeside Exteriors
Is Your Home Exterior Showing Signs of Age or Damage?
Your home does not always need a complete exterior remodel. Sometimes one failing part of the exterior can be the source of drafts, water intrusion, rising heating and cooling costs, or recurring repairs.
Lakeside Exteriors helps Minnesota homeowners identify the problem and decide what type of exterior improvement makes sense for the home.
Cold Rooms and Drafts
Drafts, cold rooms, foggy glass, and rising heating costs may point to aging or poorly installed windows.
Cracked or Failing Siding
Cracks, loose panels, fading, rot, or moisture concerns may mean the siding system needs repair or replacement.
Roof Leaks or Missing Shingles
Water stains, lifted shingles, granule loss, and storm damage should be inspected before the problem spreads.
Doors That Leak or Stick
Cold air, water intrusion, difficult operation, and outdated locks can mean it is time to replace an entry or patio door.
Peeling or Faded Exterior Paint
Faded paint, peeling surfaces, and exposed wood can affect appearance and leave exterior materials less protected.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
You Do Not Need to Know Which Service You Need
A draft may be caused by a window problem. A stain near a wall could be related to roofing, siding, flashing, or another exterior issue.
You do not need to diagnose the problem before contacting Lakeside Exteriors.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Homeowners Ask. We Answer.
I would replace the current FAQ set with questions better matched to someone searching for a broad residential exterior contractor.
What services does a residential exterior contractor provide?
Lakeside Exteriors provides window replacement, siding replacement and installation, roof replacement, patio door replacement, entry door installation, exterior painting, storm damage repair, and coordinated full exterior remodeling for Minnesota homeowners.
When is the best time to replace a roof in Minnesota?
Late spring through early fall (May-October) offers the best weather for roof replacement. Shingles seal properly in warm temperatures. We can work year-round for emergency repairs, but plan major projects during dry, moderate weather.
What siding holds up best in Minnesota weather?
Fiber cement and quality vinyl siding both perform well in Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Fiber cement (like James Hardie) is more impact-resistant but costs more. Vinyl is maintenance-free and budget-friendly. Both last 30-50 years with proper installation.
How long does an exterior remodeling project take?
Windows: 1-2 days for most homes Roofing: 1-3 days depending on size Siding: 1-2 weeks for full-house replacement Gutters: 1 day for most homes Doors: Same day for most installations
Is Lakeside Exteriors licensed and insured in Minnesota?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors is fully licensed and insured in the state of Minnesota. The MN license number is CR807029.
Does Lakeside Exteriors serve the Twin Cities and Brainerd Lakes Area?
Both. Lakeside serves the full Twin Cities Metro from the Minnetonka headquarters, and the Brainerd Lakes area out of the Crosslake office. That covers cities like Brainerd, Baxter, Crosslake, Pequot Lakes, and surrounding lake communities.
