Services
Seamless Steel Siding
Our steel siding outperforms standard products with a ceramic hybrid paint finish enhanced with DuPont Teflon. This stain-resistant coating allows easy cleaning with just a garden hose. Blower door testing identifies air leaks before installation, while pre-work energy recommendations optimize efficiency. The durable finish maintains curb appeal year-round.
Vinyl Siding
We install 16-inch 4-length vinyl siding requiring fewer panels for seamless finishes. Double-lifetime warranties protect homeowners against material defects. Energy Star-rated options with heavy-duty weather stripping reduce air and water infiltration. Custom color selections accommodate diverse architectural styles across large or uniquely shaped homes.
Radon Mitigation
We provide accurate radon testing per Minnesota Department of Health guidelines. Certified technicians install mitigation systems to address this odorless, cancer-causing gas. Services include diagnostic testing, system installation, and post-mitigation verification. Our solutions protect families by reducing radon levels below EPA action thresholds through proven soil depressurization techniques.
Insulation Installation
Cellulose insulation made from 85% recycled paper improves home R-values while supporting sustainability goals. BPI-certified technicians perform pre- and post-installation blower door tests to verify effectiveness. This eco-friendly solution reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling systems while qualifying homeowners for potential utility rebates.
Window Replacement
We offer PlyGem vinyl windows with Energy Star certification since 1990. Product lines include double-hung, sliding, casement, awning, bay/bow windows, and sliding patio doors. Multi-pane configurations with low-E coatings enhance thermal performance. Durable construction and weather stripping create airtight seals that lower utility bills while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
