Why Choose Our Siding Replacement Systems?
Choosing Empire State Builders for your siding project means investing in a family-owned firm that prioritizes both the aesthetics and the structural health of your home. We understand that siding is your home’s primary defense against Minnesota’s driving rains, heavy snow, and fluctuating humidity. Unlike large contractors who might rush the job, our family crew takes the time to inspect what’s underneath your old siding, ensuring that every board and panel we install is backed by a solid, rot-free foundation.
We specialize in high-performance materials like James Hardie fiber cement and premium insulated vinyl, specifically chosen for their ability to withstand the “freeze-thaw” cycles of the North State. Our siding solutions don’t just look beautiful; they are engineered to resist warping, cracking, and fading under intense UV exposure and sub-zero temperatures. By partnering with our family firm, you are ensuring that your home remains energy-efficient and protected from moisture infiltration that can lead to costly internal damage.
The secret to long-lasting siding lies in the details that most homeowners never see—the house wrap, the flashing, and the ventilation. Our master installers are experts in creating a complete “moisture management system” for your exterior. We use professional-grade barriers and precision-cut trim to ensure that your home can “breathe” while staying completely sealed against pests and water. This meticulous approach to installation is why our family reputation has remained strong in the Twin Cities for years.
A siding renovation is one of the best ways to increase your home’s resale value and curb appeal. We believe this process should be transparent and rewarding, which is why we offer a wide array of textures and colors with zero high-pressure sales tactics. As a local family business, we take immense pride in the transformation of every house we touch. Once the job is done, you can rest easy knowing that our lifetime craftsmanship support covers every panel, ensuring your home stays beautiful and secure for the next generation.

Our Work Process
1. Step: Exterior Integrity Audit
We perform a comprehensive inspection of your home’s exterior walls. Before any new siding goes up, we identify and repair any underlying issues like wood rot or poor insulation to ensure your new siding has a 100% stable and secure foundation.
2. Step: Precision Wrap & Install
Our crew applies high-grade house wrap and installs your chosen siding with surgical precision. We pay obsessive attention to the corners, windows, and door trims—the areas where most "big box" contractors cut corners—to guarantee a seamless, weather-tight finish.
3. Step: Clean-Site Final Walkthrough
We take pride in leaving your yard as clean as we found it. After a 20-point quality check of all seams and trim work, we perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets our family’s high standards of excellence.
Common Questions
Typically, a full siding replacement takes 7–14 days, depending on the size of the home and the material chosen (fiber cement takes longer than vinyl).
Fiber cement (James Hardie) is the gold standard for durability and fire resistance, but insulated vinyl is also an excellent, cost-effective choice for energy efficiency.
Most modern siding comes with "baked-on" color technology that lasts 15+ years. You won't have to worry about scraping or painting for a long time.
We strongly advise against it. To guarantee our lifetime warranty, we remove old materials to inspect the wood underneath for rot or pests.
