EDINA'S TRUSTED EXTERIOR CONTRACTOR
Edina's Exterior Contractor — Four Distinct Neighborhoods, Four Different Approaches
Edina isn't a one-size-fits-all city when it comes to exterior work. The Country Club district has Tudor and colonial homes built in the 1920s and 1930s — some of the oldest residential stock in Hennepin County — with original wood-frame windows, non-standard opening sizes, and interior profiles that standard replacement products simply don't fit. A few miles away in Morningside, colonials from the 1940s and 1950s have similar challenges with aging wood frames and original siding that's been painted over so many times the original clapboard is barely visible underneath.
Then there's the Cornelia area — the bulk of Edina's mid-century housing, built through the 1960s and 1970s with aluminum-frame windows that are conducting cold straight through the frame on every Minnesota winter night. And farther south, the 1980s colonials near Southdale and the newer executive and townhome construction near Centennial Lakes represent completely different eras with their own failure modes and their own right product to match.
Lakeside Exteriors is based in Minnetonka, a few miles from Edina's western edge. The same crew that works Golden Valley, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park works Edina. Every project starts with a free in-home estimate — no ballpark numbers, no pressure, a written itemized quote before anything is scheduled. One project manager from start to finish. You know who to call at every step.

WHAT WE DO
Exterior Services in Edina, MN
From Country Club Tudors requiring custom-sized wood-interior windows to Cornelia ramblers needing full-frame aluminum replacements to Centennial Lakes townhomes with HOA profile requirements — every Edina window project gets measured individually and matched to the right product for the home's era and neighborhood. Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia products installed for Hennepin County winters.
Edina's Country Club and Morningside homes require siding that matches the architectural character of the neighborhood — James Hardie fiber cement with profiles that complement the original construction rather than flatten it. For Cornelia ramblers and Southdale colonials, both fiber cement and premium vinyl are strong fits. For any Edina home, we match the siding profile to the neighborhood style and the product to the exposure conditions.
GAF and Owens Corning roofing systems with proper decking inspection, ventilation review, flashing, and ice shield on every job. Edina roofs deal with the same freeze-thaw cycles and spring hail as the rest of the metro — and Country Club and Morningside homes often have steeper pitches and more complex rooflines that require more careful installation. We work directly with insurance companies when storm damage is involved.
Southdale area colonials and Parkwood Knolls homes built in the 1980s often have original wood decks that are soft, cracked, and overdue for replacement. We rebuild with composite or treated wood systems, proper structural framing, secure footings, and code-compliant railings. For Edina homes where the backyard and outdoor living matter, the deck needs to match the quality of the rest of the property.
Patio Door Replacement
Original patio doors and sliding glass doors on Edina colonials and ranch homes — especially the aluminum-frame sliding doors common in 1970s and 1980s construction — lose heat fast and stop locking securely after decades of freeze-thaw cycling. We install Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia sliding and patio doors built to seal tight through every Minnesota season and match the home's interior finish level.
Hail and wind damage roofs, siding, and windows in Edina every spring. The south Hennepin County corridor sees several significant hail events each year. Lakeside provides free storm damage inspections, documents everything with photos and measurements for your insurance company, and handles the full exterior repair once the claim is approved. No charge for the inspection. Call (651) 431-1877 to schedule.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions About Exterior Work in Edina
Does Lakeside Exteriors serve Edina, MN?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors serves Edina homeowners with window installation, siding replacement, roof replacement, deck replacement, sliding door replacement, and storm damage repair. The company is headquartered at 4737 County Rd 101 in Minnetonka — a short drive from Edina's Country Club district, Morningside, Cornelia, Southdale, and Centennial Lakes neighborhoods. Every project starts with a free in-home estimate and a fully itemized quote before any work begins. No vague ballpark numbers, no surprise charges once work starts.
What window problems are most common in Edina homes?
Edina's housing spans four distinct eras, each with its own failure mode. Country Club Tudors and Morningside colonials from the 1920s and 1930s often have original wood-frame windows with rope-and-pulley sash mechanisms that have been painted shut, are letting in air around the frame, and have wood rot along the sill. Mid-century ramblers in the Cornelia area have original aluminum frames that conduct cold directly through the frame. The 1970s and 1980s colonials near Southdale have early insulated glass now 35 to 50 years old with failed seals and rising heating bills. Newer Centennial Lakes and executive builds have builder-grade glass from the early 2000s failing earlier than most owners expect.
How much do exterior services cost in Edina?
Window replacement in Edina typically runs $500 to $1,600 per window — the higher end reflects custom sizing and profile matching often required in Country Club and Morningside homes. A full-home replacement on a Cornelia rambler usually falls between $9,000 and $20,000. Historic homes with custom openings run higher. Siding replacement on a standard Edina colonial typically runs $14,000 to $30,000. Roof replacement falls between $11,000 and $24,000. Every project gets a fully itemized quote after a free in-home inspection — no ballpark estimates, no surprise charges. Call (651) 431-1877 or request an estimate online.
What siding works best for Minnetonka lake homes and shoreline properties?
For Minnetonka's Lake Minnetonka shoreline homes, James Hardie fiber cement is the significantly stronger long-term choice over vinyl. Lake humidity exposure accelerates moisture penetration into vinyl over time — fiber cement resists it, handles hail better, and won't warp or crack through the temperature swings Minnetonka shoreline properties deal with year-round. For inland Minnetonka ramblers and colonials where moisture exposure is lower, both James Hardie and quality ProVia vinyl are strong fits. Both last 30 to 50 years with proper installation.
Can Lakeside replace windows in Country Club and Morningside historic homes?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors has experience replacing windows in Edina's Country Club Tudors, Morningside colonials, and other historic properties where standard replacement products don't fit non-standard openings and where interior wood grain and profile depth matter. Marvin Ultimate and Pella Architect Series are the right product lines for these homes — they handle custom sizing, deliver interior wood grain options, and maintain the architectural character the neighborhood is known for. Every opening in a historic Edina home gets measured individually before anything is ordered. Projects in Edina's Country Club district may also be subject to the city's Heritage Preservation review process — Lakeside reviews the full scope during the estimate.
Does Lakeside help Edina homeowners with storm damage insurance claims?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors provides free storm damage inspections for Edina homeowners after hail or wind events. The team documents damage with photos and measurements, works directly with the homeowner's insurance company to support the claim, and handles the full exterior repair — windows, siding, and roofing — once the claim is approved. There is no charge for the inspection. The south Hennepin County corridor, including Edina, takes a direct hit from several significant hail events each year.
Is Lakeside Exteriors licensed to work in Edina?
Yes. Lakeside Exteriors is fully licensed and insured in Minnesota under MN Contractor License CR807029. The company is BBB Accredited, 5-star Google reviewed, and certified by Pella, Andersen, Marvin, James Hardie, GAF, and Owens Corning.
