Siding Materials and Products We Install
Weatherguard Construction installs the highest-quality siding products available for Minnesota homes. Our siding specialists are certified installers for multiple premium brands, ensuring your new siding is installed to exacting manufacturer standards for maximum warranty protection.
- LP SmartSide — Engineered wood siding with SmartGuard technology that resists impacts, moisture, fungal decay, and termites while delivering the authentic look and feel of real wood. Available in lap, panel, shakes, and trim profiles with a 5/50-year warranty.
- James Hardie — Fiber cement siding engineered specifically for Minnesota's climate zone. HardiePlank lap siding and HardieShingle panels resist moisture, fire, and insects with ColorPlus technology for fade-resistant factory finishes.
We also install premium vinyl siding, insulated siding systems, board and batten profiles, and architectural shake panels. Every installation includes proper housewrap, flashing, and weatherproofing to create a complete moisture management system.
Siding Cost Factors in Minnesota
Siding replacement costs in Minnesota vary based on your home's size, the number of stories, architectural complexity, and your chosen materials. Here are typical ranges for Minnesota homeowners:
- Premium vinyl siding: $8,000 – $16,000 for an average-sized home
- LP SmartSide engineered wood: $12,000 – $25,000 including trim and accessories
- James Hardie fiber cement: $15,000 – $30,000 depending on profile and finish
- Insulated siding systems: $10,000 – $22,000 with energy savings of up to 20% on heating/cooling
Most siding projects also include replacement of soffit, fascia, and trim — these components are critical to your home's moisture protection and should be addressed during any siding project. Weatherguard provides comprehensive estimates that include all components so there are no surprises.
Comparing Siding Options
Selecting the right siding material for your Minnesota home involves balancing durability, aesthetics, maintenance requirements, and budget. Here's how the leading options compare:
LP SmartSide vs. Vinyl: LP SmartSide offers the beauty of real wood with superior impact resistance and a more substantial feel than vinyl. It can be painted any color and accepts stain finishes. Vinyl is lower cost and maintenance-free but can crack in Minnesota's extreme cold and has limited color-change options.
Engineered Wood vs. Fiber Cement: Both are premium options with excellent longevity. LP SmartSide is lighter weight (easier installation on existing framing), more impact-resistant, and has better cold-weather performance. James Hardie fiber cement is completely fireproof and insect-proof but is heavier and more labor-intensive to install.
Insulated vs. Non-Insulated: Insulated siding adds a layer of rigid foam behind the panels, increasing your home's R-value and reducing thermal bridging. In Minnesota's climate, this can reduce heating and cooling costs by 10-20% while also reducing outside noise transmission.
Storm Damage and Siding in Minnesota
Minnesota's severe weather — including hail, high winds, heavy snow, and ice storms — can cause significant damage to your home's siding. When storm damage strikes, Weatherguard Construction provides rapid-response assessment and repair services throughout Minnesota. Our experienced team documents all damage thoroughly, works directly with your insurance company, and advocates on your behalf to ensure your claim covers the full scope of necessary repairs.
We maintain emergency response capability year-round and can typically provide a damage assessment within 24-48 hours of a major storm event. Our goal is to restore your home to pre-storm condition quickly and professionally while making the insurance process as stress-free as possible.
Our Siding Process
Weatherguard follows a proven, systematic process for every siding project to ensure consistent quality and customer satisfaction:
- Consultation & Assessment: Our siding specialist evaluates your current siding condition, measures your home's exterior, discusses material and color options, and provides a detailed written estimate.
- Material & Color Selection: Choose from an extensive range of profiles, colors, and textures. We provide large-format samples so you can see exactly how your selection looks against your home's trim, roof, and landscaping.
- Preparation: Our crew carefully removes existing siding, inspects and repairs the underlying sheathing, and installs premium housewrap for moisture management.
- Installation: New siding is installed with precision, including proper overlap, fastening, and clearance at all penetrations, windows, and doors. We integrate flashing and trim for a weathertight seal.
- Trim & Detail Work: Custom-fit trim, corners, J-channel, and soffits are installed to complete the look and seal every transition point against moisture intrusion.
- Final Walkthrough: We inspect every surface, clean up completely, and walk you through the finished project to ensure everything meets our standards and your expectations.
