To consistently deliver on that promise, we know that expert craftsmanship must go hand in hand with industry-leading materials. If you are currently figuring out how to budget properly for an exterior renovation project in Minnesota, choosing the right materials from the start is the most important step to ensure a high return on your investment.
Minnesota's weather can be unpredictable and harsh, which is why we don't take chances on the products we install. Here’s an in-depth look at the top 6 trusted brands we use to ensure your home is beautiful, efficient, and fully protected from the elements.
Reliable Roofing Systems to Weather Any Storm
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against spring thunderstorms, summer heat, and heavy winter snowfalls. At Tony's Lifetime Exteriors, our roofing contractors install both asphalt and metal roofing, with proven durability to protect your home.
1. Owens Corning Duration Shingles for Asphalt Roofing
In a state where storm damage is a frequent concern, having asphalt shingles that provide reliable protection is crucial!
For our asphalt roofing projects, we exclusively trust Owens Corning Duration shingles. These high-performance shingles are designed to withstand high winds and severe weather, offering homeowners peace of mind and long-lasting curb appeal.
2. Fabral Metal Roofing Systems
For homeowners looking for an alternative to asphalt, we install premium metal roofing, which includes metal shingles, steel roofing, and stone-coated steel roofing.
For these projects, we prefer Fabral’s metal roofing products, which are finished with a highly durable silicone-modified polyester paint system called Enduracote. This advanced finish ensures your metal roof will withstand Minnesota's brutal elements while retaining its vibrant color without excessive fading over the years.
If you are on the fence about roofing materials, we highly recommend comparing asphalt shingles and metal roofing for Minnesota winters to see which option best fits your needs.
Unmatched Exterior Protection: Steel Siding
Steel siding, especially seamless steel siding, is one of the absolute best ways to protect your home against Minnesota's brutal weather. Superior to many other materials, steel easily withstands the rigors of freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and hail, creating a permanent, reliable shield for your home.
Because we want our customers to have the highest return on investment and incredible longevity, we proudly use two industry-leading brands for our steel siding installations: Klauer and EDCO.
3 & 4. Klauer or EDCO Steel Siding
When it comes to durability and a flawless finish, Klauer and EDCO are the brands we trust implicitly. These brands provide unmatched durability and vibrant, fade-resistant finishes that will keep your home looking brand new for decades.
By utilizing EDCO and Klauer, we provide a product that not only strengthens your home's exterior but also handles extreme temperature fluctuations without warping or cracking.
The Classic Look of Wood: Engineered Wood Siding
If you love the authentic look of real wood but want superior durability, engineered wood siding is the perfect solution.
5. LP SmartSide for Engineered Wood Siding
For these installations, we are certified LP SmartSide installers. This engineered wood siding is designed to resist moisture, rot, and pests, making it incredibly resilient against Minnesota's harsh climate while offering the traditional warmth of wood without the constant upkeep.
Cost-Effective Exterior Beauty: Vinyl Siding
If you are looking for a beautiful, highly cost-effective exterior update, vinyl siding is an excellent choice!
6. Market Square for Vinyl Siding
For our vinyl siding installations, we rely on Market Square. This brand offers a wide variety of colors and textures that can completely transform your home's visual appeal while still providing excellent protection against the Minnesota climate.
Market Square gives homeowners the flexibility to find the exact style that fits their decor without sacrificing quality or budget.
