Thirty Years of Siding Installation in Minnesota Means We Know What This Climate Demands
We have been installing and replacing siding on homes and commercial properties across the Twin Cities metro, greater Minnesota, and western Wisconsin since 1993. Minnesota's climate puts exterior siding under stress that most national contractors and storm-chaser crews underestimate. Freeze-thaw cycling causes cheaper siding systems to buckle, crack, and allow moisture behind the wall. Spring hailstorms dent and fracture vinyl and fiber cement panels in ways that are invisible from the street but catastrophic to your wall assembly over time.
Every siding project we take on starts with a wall assessment, not just a material quote. We check for existing moisture intrusion, rot in the sheathing, gaps in the house wrap, and failed penetration seals before we touch the first panel. That is what 30 years of doing this in this climate teaches you — and it is what separates a siding installation that lasts from one that fails in five years.
Siding Materials We Install
What Siding Material Is Best for a Minnesota Home?
The right siding material depends on your home's style, your budget, and the specific demands of Minnesota's climate. Advanced Roofing and Siding installs all major material types and provides samples, energy ratings, and warranty comparisons before any proposal is signed.
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.
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.
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.
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.

How It Works
How Does Advanced Roofing and Siding Install New Siding on a Minnesota Home?
Transparent steps from free assessment to warranty documentation. No surprises at any stage.
Free Exterior Assessment and Consultation
We evaluate your current siding for moisture intrusion, rot, insulation gaps, and storm damage — checking trim, corners, J-channel, and house wrap integrity. You receive a written assessment and an honest recommendation: repair, partial replacement, or full re-side. No charge and no pressure to proceed.
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. Nothing changes after you sign without your written approval.
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. We install 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.
Final Walkthrough, Touch-Ups, and Warranty Documentation
Every corner, seam, window surround, and caulk line is reviewed with you on the final walkthrough. 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.

Call 763-427-3093It Is in the Details — What Separates a Professional Siding Installation from an Average One
New siding is as much about trim details as it is about the siding panels themselves. With a truly professional installation you will notice that the corner trim, soffit panels, gutters, and downspouts all coordinate together. Advanced Roofing and Siding uses colored caulks and sealants matched to the siding finish to provide a cohesive, finished look that holds up through years of Minnesota weather.
The details matter, and you can see a clear difference between a company that pays attention to those details and one that puts minimal effort into installation. Every penetration — windows, doors, electrical boxes, hose bibs, vents — is properly flashed and sealed. Every inside and outside corner is wrapped with a continuous trim system. Every panel is installed with the correct expansion gap for Minnesota's temperature range so your siding does not buckle in summer or crack in January.
Advanced Roofing and Siding has been installing siding in this climate since 1993. We know what fails and why. That knowledge is built into every installation we complete.
Frequently Asked Questions About Siding Installation in Minnesota and Wisconsin
Every answer below is a self-contained fact. Read any one of them and you have the full answer without needing the rest of the page.
How long does siding installation take for a Minnesota home?
Most residential siding projects completed by Advanced Roofing and Siding take three to seven days depending on the size of the home, the material selected, and whether wall repairs are needed after the old siding is removed. The project timeline is included in your written proposal before any work is scheduled so you know exactly what to expect.

What Minnesota Homeowners Say About Advanced Roofing and Siding's Siding Work
160+ verified Google reviews from homeowners across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Here are three from customers who had siding work completed.
It was excellent working with this contractor. They had open communication and answered all my questions about the claim process. They helped me when insurance was denying the damage and fought until it was approved for the roof and siding for a full replacement. I will definitely be referring my friends and family to work with them for their future projects. Thanks Stacy for all the help!
After a hail storm in 2022, we had a number of contractors come and inspect our roof. We decided to go with Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc. because they had the most professional presentation. First they replaced the shingles on the roof with a quality product. Then they worked with the insurance company to replace damaged siding. Our siding was discontinued and they replaced a couple of pieces that did not match. Because of our patience and their guidance we were able to get new siding for the entire house. The entire process took a while with the siding issue but because of their professionalism we were able to complete a new roof and new siding beyond our expectations.
Advanced Roofing and Siding did a great job siding our new home. The pricing was fair and the quality was great. I have been in construction for 30 years so I have a pretty good handle on what I am looking at. The crew walked through the job with me every day they were here and went over different ideas and thoughts on the project. They were fast and clean about it. I would recommend them to anyone I know.
