SIDING MATERIALS
Choose the Right Siding for Your Home and Budget
We install several siding materials, and we will walk you through the pros, costs, upkeep, and look of each option.
Waiting Can Make Siding Damage Worse
Small siding problems can turn into bigger exterior repairs. A loose panel, open seam, cracked board, or failed caulk line can let water behind the siding.
Once water gets behind the exterior, it can damage sheathing, insulation, trim, and framing.
A free inspection helps you know what is happening before the damage spreads.

"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."

I worked with Freddy at Lakeside to get custom windows ordered and installed in a house I was selling. When the contractor I was working with stalled out, Lakeside made it happen. They were speedy, professional, and did a great job. Excellent problem solvers. I will definitely work with them in the future!

COMMON QUESTIONS
Minnesota Homeowners Ask. We Answer.
How do I know if I need new siding?
Common signs include cracked siding, warped siding, loose panels, fading, rotted trim, moisture behind siding, hail dents, rising energy bills, and siding that needs constant repair. A siding inspection can help you decide between repair, partial replacement, or full siding replacement.
What siding holds up best in Minnesota?
James Hardie fiber cement siding and LP SmartSide engineered wood siding are strong options for Minnesota homes. Steel siding is another durable choice for homeowners concerned about hail and impact. Vinyl siding can be a more budget-friendly, low-maintenance option.
Is James Hardie siding good for Minnesota homes?
Yes. James Hardie fiber cement siding is a strong choice for Minnesota homeowners who want durability, curb appeal, low maintenance, and protection from harsh weather.
Is LP SmartSide good for Minnesota weather?
Yes. LP SmartSide engineered wood siding is a strong choice for homeowners who want the look of wood with added durability, impact resistance, and design flexibility.
Does homeowners insurance cover siding replacement?
It depends on the cause and your policy. Hail, wind, and storm damage may be covered. Wear, age, poor installation, and long-term neglect are often not covered. Lakeside Exteriors can inspect your siding and help document damage.
Can Lakeside handle windows along with roofing or siding at the same time?
Sometimes it is technically possible, but full tear-off is often better. Removing old siding allows the crew to inspect sheathing, moisture damage, house wrap, flashing, and trim details before installing the new siding system.
Can you install new siding over old siding?
Yes. Combining a window replacement with a siding project or roofing replacement on the same Minnetonka home saves time and usually reduces the total cost compared to separate projects. One crew, one schedule, one cleanup. We handle all three exterior services and can sequence the work efficiently.
