If you're searching for a siding contractor in Minnesota, the most important question isn't who's cheapest, it's who's going to be standing behind the work in five years when a Minnesota winter tries to find every weak point in your exterior. TWS Remodeling has been installing and replacing siding across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area for 25 years, and we've seen firsthand what the freeze-thaw cycle does to improperly installed or low-grade materials. We don't cut corners on fasteners, underlayment, or flashing details, because those are exactly the details that fail. Call (612) 445-4352 to schedule a free in-home inspection, you'll have a quote the same day.
A full siding replacement on a typical Twin Cities home involves removing the old material, inspecting and repairing the sheathing underneath, installing a moisture barrier, and applying the new siding with proper overlap and fastening patterns that account for seasonal expansion. What drives cost up or down: the square footage of your home, the condition of the existing sheathing, the profile and texture you choose, and whether you need trim work or soffit replacement at the same time. Vinyl siding and LP SmartSide engineered wood siding sit at different price and performance points, and we'll walk you through the real tradeoffs, not just push whatever has the highest margin. Cost for a siding project can range from roughly $6,000 to $25,000 or more depending on home size, material selection, and scope of work. Every job is different, contact TWS Remodeling for an accurate estimate.

Materials We Trust
For those who want the beauty of engineered wood with advanced durability, LP SmartSide siding offers a premium solution. It's designed to resist moisture, impact, and extreme temperatures.
LP SmartSide adds timeless character with realistic wood textures, sharp finishes, and versatile design options, backed by industry-leading warranties.
Color is the single decision that affects how your house reads from the street for the next 20 years. Through our partnerships with Norandex and Mastic vinyl siding, TWS Remodeling installs more than 30 stocked colors plus another two dozen specialty tones. Our siding color charts cover the classic neutrals (clay, almond, sandstone, autumn red) as well as deeper saturations (Pacific blue, forest green, midnight) that have become popular on Twin Cities new construction and remodel jobs over the past five years. We bring physical sample boards to your consultation so you can hold the actual chip against your roof, your trim, and your stone or brick accents in your own light, not under showroom fluorescents.
Darker siding colors absorb more solar heat, which matters in our climate two ways. In summer, dark vinyl can expand more at the seams if it was not installed with proper spacing. In winter, deeper colors can shed light snow more efficiently. The manufacturers we use have addressed thermal expansion with high-performance pigment formulations, so dark colors hold their fit and finish through Minneapolis freeze-thaw cycles. Lighter colors will always show less UV fade over a 20-year horizon. We will walk you through the trade-off based on your home's orientation, your trim choices, and how exposed the elevation is to direct afternoon sun.
The Twin Cities housing stock is shifting visibly. Charcoal, dark gray, and matte black exteriors with white trim are the dominant new-build aesthetic across Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, and Woodbury. In established neighborhoods like Linden Hills, Highland Park, and Northeast Minneapolis, homeowners are pairing warm taupe and clay tones with stone water tables for a craftsman or farmhouse read. We do not push trends. We will tell you what holds value on your block, what fights your roofline, and which combinations our crew has watched homeowners regret eight years later. Twenty-five years of looking at the same houses every December gives you a clear sense of what ages well.
Patching and repair is fine when damage is localized to one or two panels from impact or storm debris. Full replacement is the right call when moisture is showing behind the panels, when the underlying sheathing or house wrap has failed, or when the original siding has reached the end of its 20- to 30-year service life and is showing fade, brittleness, or cracking across multiple elevations. TWS Remodeling removes every old panel, inspects the sheathing, addresses any moisture or rot before new house wrap goes on, and installs your new vinyl or LP SmartSide siding to the manufacturer's spec so the warranty stays intact. The crew that pulls into your driveway works directly for TWS. Nothing gets subcontracted out.
FAQ
Most single-family homes in the Twin Cities metro take two to four days for a full siding replacement, depending on square footage, number of stories, and whether sheathing repairs are needed once the old material comes off. Homes with complex rooflines, a lot of trim work, or significant sheathing damage can run longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the time of your estimate, not a number that sounds good and then slips.
LP SmartSide is the finished exterior cladding, it replaces vinyl or wood siding as the outermost layer. Standard OSB is the structural sheathing underneath, behind the moisture barrier and whatever cladding you choose. LP SmartSide has its own structural properties and is treated with zinc-borate to resist moisture and insects, which standard OSB is not. They serve entirely different roles in a wall assembly and shouldn't be confused when you're comparing bids from different contractors.
It does, particularly when installed over continuous rigid foam insulation. Minnesota's climate creates significant thermal bridging through wood studs, and adding even one inch of foam outboard of the sheathing breaks that bridge and meaningfully improves the wall's effective R-value. Homes without existing house wrap or with original felt paper that's degraded also see improvement simply from a properly installed moisture barrier. The gains are real, but they're greatest on older homes that haven't had the wall assembly updated.
Vinyl becomes less flexible at very low temperatures, which makes it more susceptible to cracking from impact, a falling branch or a hard strike from a ladder. It doesn't crack from cold alone during normal conditions. Exterior Portfolio's heavier panel profiles hold up better in cold weather than thinner commodity vinyl. If you're in an area with significant tree cover or hail exposure, that's worth factoring into the material choice conversation. We'll tell you straight which option makes sense for your specific situation.
Insurance coverage for siding depends on the cause of failure. Hail damage, wind damage, and impact from falling objects are typically covered under standard homeowner's policies. Age-related wear, rot, and gradual moisture infiltration are not. If you suspect storm damage, document it before the next rain event and contact your insurer promptly, most policies require timely reporting. We can provide documentation of the damage we observe during our inspection, but we don't work directly with insurance adjusters on your behalf.
It's more common than homeowners expect, particularly on homes over 20 years old or anywhere the original installation left gaps in the moisture barrier. When we find rotted sheathing, we stop, photograph the damage, and contact you before proceeding, we don't repair and bill without approval. Sheathing replacement adds to the overall cost, but addressing it during the siding project is always less expensive than letting it progress and dealing with structural framing damage later.
