Siding Contractors in Minneapolis, MN

Gopher Roofing & Restoration Inc. is a licensed siding contractor in Minneapolis, MN. We handle siding installation, siding replacement, and siding repair on houses, townhomes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties across the Twin Cities. Minnesota siding takes a beating. Hail in July, straight-line wind in October, and a freeze and thaw cycle that runs from November through April. We install vinyl siding, steel, engineered wood, cement shake, and vertical panels built for that climate. Most people searching for siding contractors in Minneapolis call us after a storm. We hold a Minnesota contractor license BC794536. Call (612) 331-7663 for a free siding estimate.

Siding Installation and Siding Replacement in Minneapolis

Siding replacement starts with what is behind the panel. We pull a section before quoting. That tells us whether the sheathing is sound, whether the house wrap was ever installed correctly, and whether water has been sitting in the wall.

You get a written scope after that, not a number over the phone.

Our siding installation crews work with 20- to 25-foot panels. On a larger home, that means far fewer seams. On a smaller home, it often means no seam on a run at all. Most siding companies in the Twin Cities install 12-foot stock, so the wall ends up with a visible joint every twelve feet. Ours does not.

Every siding replacement includes new house wrap, corrected flashing at windows and doors, and new J channel. Siding installed over failed flashing will leak no matter how good the panel is.

Siding Repair in Minneapolis and St. Paul

Not every wall needs replacing. A wind event often takes out one elevation and leaves the rest untouched.

Our siding repair work covers single panel replacement, corner and trim repair, and re-flashing around windows. The hard part is color. Vinyl fades, so a new panel of the same code will not always match a wall that has been up for fifteen years. We tell you before the work starts whether a clean match is realistic.

If it is not, replacing one full elevation usually looks better than a patch. We will say so.

Hail Damage Siding Repair and Insurance Claims

Hail cracks vinyl. It also dents steel and splits the seams on older panels. Damage on the north and west elevations is easy to miss from the ground.

For hail damage siding repair in Minneapolis, we inspect all four elevations, photograph every hit, and meet your adjuster on site. Our estimator walks the property with them, so siding is not left out of the scope that only covers the roof. That happens often, and it costs owners real money.

We work directly with your insurance company on the paperwork. If the roof was hit in the same storm, our Minneapolis roof repair crew handles both under one claim and one schedule.

Siding Materials We Install Across the Twin Cities

• Vinyl siding, the most common choice in the metro for cost and low maintenance
• Steel siding is the strongest option against hail and is popular on exposed lots
• Engineered wood siding, for the look of real wood with better moisture performance
• Cement shake siding, for accent gables and historic elevations
• Vertical siding, for modern elevations and commercial facades
• Soffit, fascia, trim, and aluminum wrap to finish the exterior

We will tell you which of these actually fits your building and your budget. Not every wall needs the most expensive product on the list.

Our Vinyl Siding, Built for Minnesota Weather

Most vinyl siding installed around Minneapolis is builder-grade. It cracks in a hail event and warps on a south wall. The product we specify is not that.

Stormlite locking system

The panels lock harder along the full length of the run. That stiffens the panel and holds it on the wall in high winds. It is why we specify this product on exposed lots and lakefront properties.

Premium .046 inch gauge

Builder-grade vinyl runs thinner. At .046 inches, the panel takes a hail strike without cracking and does not oil can in the heat. Thickness is the single spec most worth paying for.

Exceeds ASTM impact standards

Impact testing on this panel exceeds the ASTM standard. That matters in a state where one storm can total the siding on an entire block.

Three-quarter-inch panel projection

A deeper panel throws a stronger shadow line. The wall reads as closer to real wood siding than flat plastic. It also sits better against the sheathing across a long run.

Geloy resin colors

Color runs through the panel in a resin engineered to resist UV, heat, and moisture. Dark colors on south-facing walls are where cheap vinyl fails first. This is the layer that stops that.

Insulated vinyl siding with foam backing

Foam backing sits behind the panel and fills the gap against the wall. Insulated vinyl siding raises the wall assembly’s R-value, gives the siding a solid feel instead of a hollow one, and cuts high-frequency noise from wind and traffic. On a Minnesota winter bill that adds up.

Commercial and Multi-Family Siding Contractors in Minnesota

We side apartment buildings, townhome complexes, offices, and retail properties across the state.

Occupied buildings need a different plan than a single-family house. Commercial siding contractors have to sequence one elevation at a time, stage materials off walkways, give residents written notice, and keep entries and parking clear. For association work, the estimate comes broken out by building, so a board can phase it across budget years.

We handle roofs on the same properties. See our apartment building service if you manage rentals.

Signs It Is Time for Siding Replacement

Call for a siding inspection if you see any of these:

• Cracks, splits, or holes, especially on the north and west walls after a storm
• Panels that have warped, buckled, or pulled away from the wall
• Soft or spongy spots when you press on the wall, which means water is behind it
• Peeling paint or wallpaper on the inside of an exterior wall
• Heating bills are climbing with no change to the furnace
• Fading so heavy that a repair panel will never match
• Mold, mildew, or fungal growth along the seams

Most of these mean water is already in the wall. Waiting turns a siding job into a framing job.
