Most Popular in MN
Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie fiber cement siding is the premium choice for Minnesota homes because it does not crack, warp, or rot under freeze thaw cycling and is non combustible. It carries James Hardie's ColorPlus finish warranty and holds paint color significantly longer than wood or vinyl. Fiber cement is the recommended choice for homes in active hail zones because it resists impact without denting.
Best Value
Vinyl Siding
Premium vinyl siding offers a wide color selection, excellent affordability, and low long term maintenance. Modern insulated vinyl siding systems add an additional R-value layer to your wall assembly, reducing drafts and lowering heating costs. Vinyl is available in dozens of profiles including horizontal lap, vertical board and batten, and shake styles.
Wood Look Without the Work
LP SmartSide
LP SmartSide engineered wood siding delivers the authentic look and feel of real wood without the maintenance demands of traditional wood siding. It is treated to resist moisture, fungal decay, and pest damage, issues that are particularly relevant in Minnesota's humid summers and wet springs. LP SmartSide carries a 50 year limited warranty and accepts paint and stain finishes like real wood.
Maximum Durability
Steel Siding
Steel siding is the most impact resistant exterior cladding available and is an excellent choice for properties in Minnesota's hail corridor where repeated storm events are likely. Steel does not crack, warp, or melt, and it carries a Class 4 impact rating on qualifying products. Steel siding requires minimal maintenance and carries long manufacturer warranties on paint finish and structural integrity.
Siding Styles and Profiles
Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc. offers eight distinct siding profiles, from traditional cedar shake to Class 4 impact resistant steel, giving Minnesota homeowners options across every architectural style and budget.
What Siding Styles and Profiles Does Advanced Roofing and Siding Install?
Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc. installs fiber cement, vinyl, LP SmartSide, and steel siding for Minnesota and Wisconsin homeowners, with each material selected based on budget, architectural style, and performance needs in this climate.
Cedar Shake Siding
Traditional and engineered cedar shake profiles create a natural, textured appearance for Minnesota homes that want authentic wood character, and engineered versions resist the moisture and pest damage that affect traditional cedar in this climate.
Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie lap, panel, and shingle profiles with ColorPlus factory finish give homeowners a fire resistant, freeze thaw resistant siding option backed by a long term finish warranty, making it the most requested material for Minnesota installations.
Vinyl Siding
Horizontal lap, dutch lap, and insulated vinyl profiles are available in dozens of colors, offering an affordable and low maintenance option that still performs well through Minnesota's temperature swings.
Masonite Siding
Hardboard siding panels are installed when a homeowner needs to match an existing original profile, allowing a partial repair or replacement without altering the home's established appearance.
Board and Batten
Vertical board and batten profiles are available in fiber cement, vinyl, and engineered wood, giving homeowners a modern architectural look with the same freeze thaw performance as the base material selected.
Steel Siding
Impact resistant steel panels carry Class 4 ratings and are the strongest option available for hail prone Minnesota properties, resisting denting and cracking through repeated storm seasons.
Shake Siding
Polymer and engineered shake profiles replicate the look of natural wood shake without the ongoing maintenance, staining, or pest vulnerability that traditional wood shake requires in Minnesota's climate.
LP SmartSide
Engineered wood lap and panel siding carries a 50 year limited warranty and is treated to resist moisture, fungal decay, and pest damage, making it a durable option for homeowners who want a wood appearance.

How Our Siding Installation Process Works
Transparent steps from free assessment to warranty documentation. No surprises at any stage.
Step 1, Same Day: Free Exterior Assessment and Consultation
A licensed project manager with Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc. evaluates your current siding for moisture intrusion, rot, insulation gaps, and storm damage, checking trim, corners, J-channel, and house wrap integrity. We know deciding between repair and replacement can feel confusing, so you receive a written assessment and an honest recommendation with no charge and no pressure to proceed.
Step 2, 1 to 2 Days: Material Selection, Color Matching, and Written Proposal
We walk you through premium options including vinyl, fiber cement, LP SmartSide, and engineered wood with samples, energy ratings, and warranty comparisons. Your written proposal specifies every panel, trim piece, fastener type, and moisture barrier, and nothing changes after you sign without your written approval.
Step 3, 2 to 5 Days: Professional Installation with Full Moisture Management
Old siding is removed and the wall is inspected for rot or moisture damage before anything new goes on. Our licensed crew installs a continuous house wrap system, then panels and trim with proper overlap, expansion gaps, and sealed penetrations, ensuring your home breathes correctly through Minnesota winters and stays dry through spring thaw. This work is performed under MN License BC630441 and WI License 2992-DCRF.
Step 4, Same Day as Completion: Final Walkthrough, Touch-Ups, and Warranty Documentation
Every corner, seam, window surround, and caulk line is reviewed with you in person on the final walkthrough, so you see the finished work firsthand rather than take our word for it. Any touch ups are completed on the spot before we consider the job closed. Manufacturer warranty documentation is provided in writing and our workmanship guarantee is in your hands before the crew leaves.
