"I started Lakeside after years at large nationwide contractors because I wanted to do this the right way — where the homeowner actually knows what's happening, the crew shows up when they say they will, and nobody cuts corners because they're rushing to the next job. That's still how we operate on every single project."

How long does a roof replacement take?
How do I know if my home needs exterior remodeling?
Signs may include drafty windows, damaged siding, missing shingles, fading paint, rising energy bills, moisture issues, or an outdated exterior appearance. A professional exterior inspection can help identify which improvements will provide the greatest benefit.
Most residential roof replacements can be completed within one to three days, depending on the size of the roof, weather conditions, and project complexity. Larger projects may require additional time.
Yes. Replacement windows can improve curb appeal, energy efficiency, comfort, and resale value. Many homeowners choose new windows to modernize their home's appearance and reduce heating and cooling costs.
What is the difference between full-frame and insert window replacement?
What are the best replacement windows for Minnesota winters?
The best replacement windows for Minnesota winters are energy-efficient windows designed to handle extreme temperature changes. Features such as Low-E glass, insulated frames, and multi-pane glass help improve comfort and reduce energy loss. Popular choices include Pella, Andersen, Marvin, and ProVia replacement windows.
Full-frame window replacement removes the entire existing window and frame so hidden damage can be addressed and insulation can be improved. Insert replacement keeps the existing frame in place. Lakeside Exteriors specializes in full-frame window replacement to provide a more complete installation.
What is the best siding for homes in Minnesota?
The best siding depends on your goals, budget, and home style. Many Minnesota homeowners choose James Hardie fiber cement siding, LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, or MarketSquare vinyl siding because they perform well in Minnesota's weather conditions.
