"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."
-Freddie Macalus, Owner, Lakeside Exteriors
COMMON QUESTIONS
Homeowners Ask. We Answer.
Questions Minnesota homeowners ask us most often before scheduling an estimate.
How much does window replacement cost in Minnesota?
Window replacement typically costs $100-$1,500 per window for mid-range double-pane units, depending on size, style, and brand. A full-house project for an average 2,000 sq ft home runs $8,000-$20,000. Location, window condition, and trim work affect final pricing. We provide itemized quotes after measuring your specific openings.
When is the best time to replace a roof in Minnesota?
Late spring through early fall (May-October) offers the best weather for roof replacement. Shingles seal properly in warm temperatures. We can work year-round for emergency repairs, but plan major projects during dry, moderate weather.
What siding holds up best in Minnesota weather?
Fiber cement and quality vinyl siding both perform well in Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Fiber cement (like James Hardie) is more impact-resistant but costs more. Vinyl is maintenance-free and budget-friendly. Both last 30-50 years with proper installation.
How long does an exterior remodeling project take?
Windows: 1-2 days for most homes Roofing: 1-3 days depending on size Siding: 1-2 weeks for full-house replacement Gutters: 1 day for most homes Doors: Same day for most installations

Yes. Lakeside Exteriors is fully licensed and insured in the state of Minnesota. The MN license number is CR807029.
