Reviews of Minnesota Exteriors
Lynn Swanson
MEI was amazing! Siding, doors, and windows were all replaced. We interviewed NINE companies in depth before choosing, and our sales person Troy won us over! Great pricing, fantastic service, professional crew, good communication! The results were amazing - our house has never looked this good. We would recommend MEI to anyone and everyone!

Great customer service! I had an ordeal with my insurance company trying to get my roof fixed after a storm. Once Bob got involved everything finally started moving forward. I have my NEW roof on and it looks amazing! New siding and gutters are planned for September and I can’t wait! Highly recommend MInnesota Exteriors.
Sept 12: siding project underway!
Alex Gatzmer
Our roof and siding were replaced by these folks. They did a great job. They have attention to detail and clean up far more than other building contractora I've dealt with. Their sales team helped us through any questions and when our insurance adjuster missed a bunch of stuff, they walked through it with them and made sure we got the coverage that was fair. Would absolutely hire again.
Jill Marks
Brandon and MEI exteriors were excellent to work with. They replaced our windows and doors a few years ago and we were very happy with the work and the quality. We reached out to them again when selling our home recently. We proactively had the roof replaced and Brandon went above and beyond with regard to ensuring our insurance claim was taken care of and that all work was completed prior to our home closing. We highly recommend both Brandon and MEI exteriors.
John Filcher
MEI has been fantastic. They have replaced the window and sliding doors in my house, doing a very quality job. The workmanship was top notch, as was their professionalism. Our sales guy, Troy, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We have used MEI twice and it was an excellent experience each time. They also have all the top brands of windows and doors so you can choose the best which fits your budget.
Ron Williams
MN Exteriors did the roof on our house and garage yesterday and this was the smoothest, most organized roof crew I've ever seen. They were driven, never screamed or yelled at each other to do this or that and, in general, treated us friendly and respectfully including our lawn and structures. Really impressed. The upfront sales by Dan was informational as well as full of disclosure of the timing and actual roof job would be done. Really happy with this company.
Carissa Biernat
Our roof and gutters were damaged in a storm, Brandon came out right away to take a look. He kept in contact with my insurance company to make sure we were getting exactly what we needed. They stayed in contact and within 2 weeks they dropped off materials and had the roof completed the very next day. All of our neighbors were still waiting on their different companies months later! We are very happy with their work and will always use Minnesota Exteriors!
Roger Rineck
MEI replaced our siding and installed aluminum soffits and Facia. The salesperson that came out, Troy, was very professional and courteous. There was absolutely no pressure. The installer was fantastic and very hard working. The results are amazing! I recommend MEI!
Tyler McAninch
I called Minnesota Exteriors after being unsatisfied with the quote process from a highly recommended competitor. From my first contact with Troy Dvergsten from MEI I've been nothing but satisfied. I felt like he listened to my needs and concerns and made sure that what he sold me was the best product. After being "sold" to by his competitors I was pleased that he didn't bombard me with well rehearsed bits.
After we signed our agreement he and his team were in regular communication while we waited for our windows to be manufactured and shipped. After a few months they called and told me the windows came in early so they would be able to install a month or so ahead of schedule. The installers were quick and professional. They took great care to ensure everything fit and was properly insulated. Looking forward to a winter without a constant breeze of cold air!
Matt Bissell
Brandon Collins and MEI were great to work with. From start to finish Brandon was beyond professional and transparent in the whole process. MEI provided excellent customer service when working with my insurance company about the hail damage to my home. I truly believe Brandon and MEI set the gold standard in this industry. Cannot say enough great things about Brandon and MEI.
Dennis Kastama
Mn Exterior once again did a great job on our roof, siding and gutters! If you need something done call Brandon Collins’s at MEI. You won’t be disappointed!
john miles
Fantastic job so far!!
We contacted MEI around April of 2021. Met with Gary at our home and he walked us through the process for a full exterior install. Gary walked us through all of the various siding material, colors, styles etc...
We were quoted an approx. price on that day which was very realistic compared to some of the previous companies. Gary was very easy to work with, very knowledgeable, and has a very non aggressive sales approach. Rose took time to put together quite a few mock up's using different colors, styles, stone etc. which was very helpful in deciding which direction to go. We then decided to go to the showroom to look at the different siding and stone options up close. Again, both Gary and Rose helped us decide on our design.
Due to the pandemic, the install got pushed a couple of times, which was fine for us since we needed to do some things of our own before the crew could start. We got on the calendar for May 2022. The Job Sup. Pat came out ahead of the crew and walked the house with me and explained the game plan in detail. Another great experience working with MEI. Pat is very easy to work with and is very transparent about every aspect of the job. Jose and his crew arrived a couple days later, Pat was there as well. These guys were unbelievable!!!! They worked 7am to 7pm every day and had the siding, soffits, facia and trim done in roughly 10 days. Jose and his crew did an absolutely fantastic job, we have a new home!!!!
Pat came out the next day for a job check and final detail cleanup, again nice job!!
Vlad, the Gutter installer was on site this morning and was doing an amazing job. He walked the house with me to explain his game plan and advice on where to position downspouts etc.... Another great experience with these installers. Next up is the stone installer. I'm sure we will be equally impressed with his work as well. Overall, we are extremely impressed with our experience with MEI and there staff and crew and will be recommending to anyone looking for exterior service on their home.
Steve Bergeland
MEI was wonderful to work with in our residing project. Our days of painting the house are behind us! Their saleperson, Troy, was super informative and always on our side, answering questions quickly and keeping us updated regarding schedules/next steps. Our house was transformed from a dingy beige with 50 year-old masonite siding to one with Summit Blue LP siding with white trim. The installers were efficient and very experienced. They also worked with us to sort through minor decisions in the installation. In the end, we were pleased with the work MEI did for us and look forward maintenance-free ownership. I've included a photo showing the project in the final stage.

In early spring of 2022, my son and I finally decided that 20-year-old bedroom windows and a sliding glass door in our town home needed to be replaced. These windows all faced west and got the brunt of the afternoon sun in the summer and during the winter the bedroom windows needed shrinkable window film applied to keep out the drafts.
I did an online search which to say the least was overwhelming. There are a lot of window companies in the Twin Cities area!! I mentioned this to my younger son who told me to call Minnesota Exteriors. He was very pleased with windows, the installation, the price and the warranty (the whole package) that he had received from MEI.
I did call MEI and Troy Dvergsten met us at our home. First of all, we explained to him that the windows and sliding glass door had to look exactly like the ones being replaced (Association mandate), also the screen had to be installed in the same side of each window, just like the rest of the windows at the Association.
We told him that in the summer we could not touch the glass of the windows and door because of the heat transfer. We had even installed tinted window film when we moved in to try to combat some the heat. In the winter the windows would get ice buildup on the bottom of the glass.
Troy said MEI could supply windows and a door that looked exactly like the original ones, only they would have a UV coating on the glass to stop the sun's glare and would have all around insulating properties that the home's original steel windows lacked.
Troy also explained in detail the differences between the old and the new windows, he explained all steps that would be taken at installation to ensure draft-free windows. And he explained the lifetime warranty on the windows and installation. Troy then the measurements of the sliding glass door and windows, counted the number of squares in each created by the inserts and check his numbers again.
My son and I had one more vendor to meet with, but in the end Troy's approach of letting the quality of MEI products and warranty sell itself. I really like a “no pressure” salesperson.
Russell Commers
MEI recently completed siding and window replacement. We couldn't be happier with the communication and responsiveness from start to finish, and the quality and professionalism seen throughout.
Brandon Collins was able to work with us in the sales phase to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. He was responsive and attentive to our many questions and ideas and the end result was fantastic.
Once the project started, our Field Supervisor Steve Faber was out daily to check on progress and make sure we were happy with the work done. He was always quick to get us answers on any questions, and made sure that our satisfaction was the top priority of the project. Materials arrived the day before the project started and were picked up the day following completion. The organization and coordination of everything was top notch.
After the experience we had, we won't be looking anywhere else in the future if we need and exterior work done. In our experience, it's difficult to find contractors that are focused on client satisfaction, quality work, and efficiency, and open lines of communication in all phases of the project. MEI has checked all those boxes and more.
Erin Janke
Chuck and his team did an AMAZING job on our roof. It was a major project with all the garages and the home, and we were super impressed at the professionalism and the clean up of the project. So happy they were the team to tackle this job!
David Lusk
MEi installed 2 Patio doors in our home and did a fantastic job. It all started with Troy coming out and really explaining the product and process to come. Troy took the time to make sure our questions were answered. The installer were professional and did a good job of installation and clean up. We had to have a couple things followed up on and they delivered as promised.
Dave Warren
Troy D. and the entire team at Minnesota Exteriors did a great job. Troy was able to walk me through my project and helped me make decisions that were best for my home. The installation team was professional, cleaned up well, and was inspected by Steve Faber who made sure the quality of the work was top flight as well. We are very happy and are looking to use them again.
Avi Rusinov
I'm very pleased with the recent roof replacement Minnesota Exteriors performed on my home this summer. The process was great from start to finish. Their Sales , Dan showed up to walk my property and take a look at existing conditions. When the estimate was completed, he provided me a very thorough walk through of all the costs. Steve and his crew were amazing. I couldn't believe how fast his crew was. The project was completed in 5 hours . The craftsmanship was very high level. I'm so happy I had Minnesota Exteriors replace my roof. I would highly recommend working with them.
Melanie Danke
After a frustrating experience with another company, we contacted Minnesota Exteriors for a quote --first for new siding and a second, on a replacement roof. Troy D. has been super responsive. We had our quotes on the same day as our meetings. Any messages I've left with questions have been responded to quickly and completely. I'm very happy we got in touch.
Pat Mourning
The salesperson was friendly, patient and creative. He worked with me to achieve the look I wanted within my budget.
The siding team was hard working, friendly and helpful. I am a detail oriented person and they were great to work with right to the end to get the curb appeal I envisioned.
Jamie Graupmann
Me and my husband worked with Bob and he was truly amazing and so helpful with all our questions.we’re both super new to everything with just buying our first home last year to having to make a huge repair like the house roof and garage roof. The workers were super great and fast and did a good job overall with install and clean up. We’re so thankful for MN Exteriors, thank you!! and thank you to Bob for everything it’s soo appreciated and we will definitely recommend you to our friends and family ,you were so great!! 😊
Mike McLean
We have used MEI three seperate times.
First time was for four windows in two of our upper level bedrooms.
When we decided to replace our lower level windows, who did we call? MEI of course, Our house is split entry so our basement windows are half in and half out. We had them replace all eight lower level windows.
We have a bay window in our living room with four casements with two facing forward and the other two angled. The two front facing windows had rotted. So of course we called MEI for their Wellington brand windows.
We love the quality and looks of their windows.
Their sales people and installation people are great to work with. During install, they make a minimum mess and when they leave, the only way hat you can tell they were here is by the great looking windows
When our porch windows go, you know who we will contact. Troy Dvergsten was our last sales contact. Very easy doing business with him.
Thank you again for what you have done for us.

Thank you M.E.I. for the exceptional roof your team put on my home and garage. Many months were spent selecting a local company I believed would give a great value at a reasonable price point and today I am happy to share that my expectations were surprisingly surpassed in many ways. The materials arrived beforehand along with the receptical bin and work begain exactly on time. My house is older and requires a bit more attention. M.E.I. alerted me to the extra care needed right away so that I could make an informed decision. The crew is very professional and friendly. Completed in rapid fashion, I am amazed at how well my home looks upon completion. Great job with the clean up process and follow up with my satisfaction.
I am looking forward, very much, to the completion of the siding, gutter, and fascia work yet to be done.
If you are in the market for a external home refit, I highly suggest M.E.I. for the job. Local and professional help is the BEST.
Chris M
Just wanted to jump on here and say how fantastic MEI is. I’ve used them twice now, once for windows and now gutters. Both times I worked with Troy, extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain the process. Especially with our windows, which he thoroughly explained the differences between one brand to the other we ended up with. He stayed within our budget and never tried to push us past it. He is a credit to your company. Next, the crew that came out worked efficiently, was extremely friendly, put out some extremely quality finished product, and cleaned after themselves thoroughly. Overall, i won’t use anyone else, and recommend them to everyone I know.
m terhark
Excellent customer service. Brandon was east to work with and looked out for our interests! Always kept us in the loop through out the whole project.
Michael Hanson
I would like to thank Troy D. for a very good presentation on a patio door that we are planning to purchase, he had some really good ideas for hardware selection. MEI install our front basement windows last year, the fit and finish was outstanding, that's why MEI was the first window company I called.
Dave W
I just ordered replacement windows in my third home from Troy. I chose MEI because of Troy and his recommendations. He is honest and trustworthy. If there is something he likes OR doesn't like about a product he's going to tell you. His first goal is to get you set up with the best product that fits your budget, not just to sell windows and get on to the next customer!
James Sogard
Best exterior contractor in Minnesota.. period. No hassel, courteous and the highest quality materials and workmanship.
Save yourself the headache of locating and gambling on unreliable, storm chasing name changers and call MEI.. you will not be disappointed.
Robert Allison
Just had MEI finish my storm damage project. Roof, siding, windows and gutters. I spoke with each of the contractors that performed the work. Extremely professional and high quality work & materials. Brandon Collins was the sales representative and walked me thru the insurance process and was more than excellent. This is a local company and I was impressed how each employee I dealt with was so helpful. I have recommended MEI, which is family run to many friends and neighbors who have been very satisfied as well. I haven’t ever written a review but wanted to take the time to share my experience with this company.
Amanda Lensing
We ordered new windows from MEI and the experience and service was amazing. Huge thanks to everyone on the team - from measuring our windows and getting us a quote to meet our needs, to the super fast installation (complete with vacuuming up after), to painting the indoor trim as a final touch, everyone we interacted with was kind and professional. In addition to our "bigger" window job, we also had one section of gutters added, and the team truly showed that there is no job too big or too small. We will definitely be trusting MEI with any of our exterior work in the future!
Susan Soderblom
We had a great experience with Minnesota Exteriors. The sales representative, Brandon, gave us estimates and materials to review and was not pushy. He was timely in coming out and answered all of many questions. We really appreciated that. This is our second project with Brandon, Joe and his installation team. They did a great job installing our front door and side garage door. They're both so beautiful. I look at them every day and they makes such an improvement to the exterior as well as the energy savings. I would recommend MEI to anyone looking to replace windows and doors. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. They're an honest group of people and take pride in their work.
Ryan Quern
We had all windows in our house replaced by MEI. The only hang-up was a delay in the pre-finishing process of the trim, which took a little longer than expected. But it was definitely worth the wait! Gary, our sales rep, was outstanding and very responsive. He was up front about pricing and extremely thorough. Calvin and his crew did an exceptional job with the install. They were respectful, maintained a clean site, and detailed. I would absolutely recommend MEI to anyone out there looking for exterior home improvements!
Steve Wickstrom
I was very pleased with the work done by Minnesota Exteriors. They replaced our roof, replaced all of our windows, sided the entire house, installed gutters and also installed a new front door. The work was of very high quality and the service from Troy D and Annjannette P was totally awesome! Our house now looks brand new and we continue to get rave reviews from our neighbors and folks passing by. I highly recommend them!
Vicki Kopplin
I couldn't have been more impressed with MEI. From "top" to "bottom" everyone was great to work with. Dan was our contact and was great to work with. We had never done any exterior home improvement work, and he put me at ease. We ended up with new siding, roof and 3 new windows. Dan was accessible, responsive and a real pro - as was everyone we came in contact with. Steve, the project manager, was also excellent. The window "guys" were awesome. I highly recommend MEI!!
Stephanie Buckley
Mn Exteriors is a superior one stop shop for your home improvements. Over the years, I have used this company for gutters, windows, and now a new roof. These jobs have been completed in a timely fashion with much attention to detail. The workmanship has been superb and has increased the overall value of my home. They even made dealing with my insurance company a breeze! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MEI to any homeowner who is looking for an honest and reliable contractor.
Carmin Leyden
This is the second time I have used Minnesota Exteriors, Inc. I am truly impressed with how the company handled my home improvement project from start to finish. MEI replaced siding, soffit/fascia, gutters, windows, and my roof. Bob Guzzo is a kind and fair salesperson, whom I trust with these types of home improvement projects. Steve is an amazing Job Sup, very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions. The siding install was impeccable, the roofing job superb! I 100% recommend MEI!
Tim Harter
We have a house that was built in 1977 where most of the house is original. Derrick came out for a quote and was very professional with he thought needed to be replaced. He laser measured everything and showed us what the house would look like with different color combinations. We ended up getting new vinyl siding, new gutters, and about half our windows were replaced. Our house looks great and installation went well!
Meghan Ronayne
Minnesota Exteriors provided us with great service. We recently purchased a home and soon found many falling pieces of siding. They were quick to respond and quickly scheduled a time to come out and repair the falling pieces. We certainly plan on using them in the future.
Michelle Lhotka
We were very happy with our entire experience from beginning to end which included replacing siding and gutters. Highly recommend Troy and Minnesota Exteriors, Inc.
Doug-Dana Cousins
We built a home and MN Exteriors did the windows, siding, doors and gutters. They did an amazing job with everything. We used Weathershield contemporary series windows. They are by far the best windows on the market right now. The windows, screens and hardware are well made. We used LP siding. I was so impressed by the quality and the look of this product. Even the gutters turned out great. All the installers are very knowledgable and obviously experienced. They did quality work. It is clear, MEI has decades of experience and knowledge when it comes to exterior house projects. The price was reasonable. I would definitely use them again.
Karl Rydeen
We had a great experience with Minnesota Exteriors. Troy was our salesperson and did an outstanding job. We felt comfortable through the entire process. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for replacement windows, we are very happy with our purchase!
Sheila Prior
They installed our new windows, and they look great. The Installers seemed really professional and considerate. They also worked very efficiently, so they were done doing 10 windows and a sliding patio door by the afternoon, which really minimized the disruption to our house. The city inspector had a look and said they did a great job. The customer service agent assigned to us was also very nice to work with and did a good job keeping us informed about scheduling and other procedures.
Connie Kuntz
* Quality work, friendly professional crews, and great communication throughout entire project. Starting with Dan during the sales process, he provided me with several great options, answered all of my questions, and came up with a proposal that was perfect for my home. Steve oversaw the installation and that all went smoothly. My house looks beautiful. I highly recommend this team.
Gabe G
We replaced all our windows with Pinnacle Lindsay replacement windows through Minnesota Exteriors. This was a large investment to do all the windows but it came out much better compared to other companies and installers out there. The two installers arrived on-time each day and completed the work quickly and professionally. They were VERY experienced and cleaned up after themselves as well. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone. If you are looking at some of those large companies out there selling their own windows, take a look at Minnesota Exteriors. They have a large selection of windows of better quality and at a lower price. You'll get an unbiased opinion, not sold on a single brand of windows. For us we went with the Pinnacle Lindsay Windows which are made here in Minnesota. I would highly recommend Minnesota Exteriors for your replacement windows - they know their stuff!
Omar Alkatout
We had hail damage last summer and needed our roof, siding, storm doors and gutters replaced. John G helped us through it all. Working with insurance was not a problem to them, John came and met with our adjuster on a Saturday for the entire time. The people in the office and warehouse made scheduling and insurance work super easy for us. We were able to pick out our products and colors by going to the show floor. One of the biggest reasons we used MEI for a second time is because they have a great service repair crew, if you ever have any issue with your install big or small they guarantee it and send out a crew to fix it. Call them and ask for John G. from sales.
Shelly Carter
From beginning to end the experience with Minnesota Exteriors was wonderful. My sales person did not pressure me into buying anything, he explained my options and worked within my budget. The installers were professional and did a nice job of cleaning up. After the install Joe was very thorough with inspecting each window to ensure it was operating correctly. There were a few items that didn't quite meet his approval, those items have been ordered and will be installed/replaces once they arrive. All in all very satisfied!! I will be referring Minnesota Exteriors to anyone needing windows and/or siding. Thank you!!!!!
Matt Lucey
Overall a great experience with MEI and my window installation! Troy was very informative on my window needs. Explained the whole process. Not like other quotes that I had gotten. Which made my decision to go with MEI over others. But everyone that I had contact with were very informative and easy to talk to. Highly recommend MEI for your home improvement needs!
Heidi Smith
Had new vinyl siding installed by Minnesota Exteriors and the experience was AWESOME!!!!! Gary, our sales rep, was extremely professional and very communicative every step of the way. The installation crew was professional, took responsibility for their cleanup and very FAST. Superintendent Steve went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teresa Schumacher
Our installers finished up the job today and we couldn't be more happy. From our sales rep, Derrick, who answered all of our questions and had our best interests, including budget and timeline in mind to the install, led by Calvin and his team. It was a huge investment but seeing our new patio doors, entry doors and windows help us know we made the right choice with MN Exteriors. Thanks a ton!!!
M Gus
Troy was such a wonderful sales contact. He took time to explain all of my options and helped me pick out what turned out to be a wonderful entry door, storm door and sidelight. My old door was original to my1970's built residence so this is quite an improvement. The installers were fantastic - polite, clean, and helpful with answering questions. I'm extremely satisfied and would recommend MEI to anyone.
Jeff Snegosky
We had 6 different window companies come give us estimates and MEI was the cheapest by far. Plus the Lindsay windows they used were perfect for our house. They aren't the top of the line, but they are more than adequate for our neighborhood. Doug the sales guy was great to work with. Overall I would definitely recommend MEI to anyone looking for quality windows at a great price!
Jane Frazier
This is our second time using MEI because we were very happy with our first experience. We had the pleasure of working with Troy D both times. He is knowledgeable, personable, prompt, and delivers great customer service.
Terry Mitchell
We hired MN Exteriors to install three windows and replace the entire house siding, sofitts and fascia. Our sales rep, Troy, was an advocate to get the job we wanted done within our budget. The window guys were neat, communicated at each step of the replacement and exceeded our expectations for timing and quality. The siding job foreman was onsite day one and whenever we requested. He responded to any request in a timely manner. The crew, lead by Edgar, was very professional and conscientious. The crew was hard working and did a great job. I recommend MN Exteriors for your window or siding job!
Joel Helgeson
I've owned a number of homes throughout the years, also a few rental properties. In total, I've replaced 5 roofs, and sided 3 homes in the past 20 years, all with different contractors. I mention this to qualify this: That working with Minnesota Exteriors has been by far the best I have ever dealt with. The levels of communication were outstanding. Prior to job start, they started sending me mail and email telling me what to expect and when. As I read the letters, I could hear the voices of previous customers "It would be nice if you could have let us know XYZ before hand." Well, they must have listened because it was all there, in writing. I received phone calls coordinating supplies delivery, dumpster delivery, etc. Everything was en pointe, and that was all prior to starting work.
We did both roofing and siding replacement. The roof was the first project. We have a large home (the roof alone was 1,700 sq ft) and I expected it to take several days, but they got the entire roof done in one day! I suspect it went so well because there was no hidden damage or rot, which of course would have drawn things out. This was in May 2020, so all the kids were schooling at home, and there was nowhere to take them because everything was shut down. Having it all done in one day was a major blessing.
The roofing crews arrived on time, bright and early and worked all day long, non-stop, from 7a to 7p. They started by placing tarps around the entire house perimeter to catch debris. All was done and cleaned up in one day. I didn't think that would be possible but they did it. The dumpster was removed the following day and the siding crews showed up the following week, along with another dumpster.
The siding crew was just two guys, which surprised me considering the massive workforce that was sent out to do the roof. But it was very obvious that these two had many years of experience. They worked quickly and accurately. They again laid out tarps prior to starting any work.
They had the entire house siding done in just under 2 1/2 days. They started on a Wednesday and were finishing up on Friday morning. It probably could have been done in 2 days but we discovered that the master bathroom shower must have had a leak at some point in the past as there was lots of water damage (rot) to the housing exterior. Thankfully it was all dry now, so whatever the cause, it was no longer happening. They got it all remediated in short order, but I'm sure they would have had it all completed in 2 days otherwise. Again, this is a big house, over 2600 sq ft.
They had separate folks that came out to inspect the job at each stage, and after completion they walked the lawn and flower beds to pull out any lost nails or debris that escaped the tarps.
It was a grand total of 3.5 days of work over the span of 9 calendar days. From the moment the project entered their work pipeline through to project completion - I felt like I had stepped onto a conveyor belt of a well oiled machine. Everyone did their work quickly, efficiently, expertly, and at the end of the ride - all I could think was 'wow, that was fast'!
There were some 'mistakes' but it was all simple stuff - like a utility box used for remote reading of my water meter, that was mounted on the wall such that when the hose reel was re-mounted, the handle would hit the box. I never liked where the reel was mounted in the first place so it got moved to a different spot. Another oversight was a louvered vent above the garage doors - the insurance co missed that and of course so did MEI, so we got that ordered and it was installed a week later. All very minor stuff.
All the staff I worked with, Derrick T. (sales) & Tom W. were my primary contacts - I had all their contact info, all were first class. This was an insurance job, and they maintained communication with the insurance company and ensured everything was handled.
TL;DR: Minnesota Exteriors (MEI) is a first class outfit and I could not be happier with their work. I recommend them without hesitation or reservation.
Mary Cantin
The staff of Minnesota Exteriors was great to work with. Brandon was so very helpful assisting us with the insurance adjuster, offering advice for shingle selection and color scheme for the siding. The roofing crew, the siding crew and their supervisors was always available to answer our questions or give advice. The young man who installed our gutters was so very nice and so easy to talk to. I would strongly recommend MEI. Loved that they are locally owned and want to make sure that as a customer all our needs were addressed and taken care of. Thank you to everyone who helped.

I am thoroughly happy with the work that MN Exteriors did for me. I had contacted two other companies about my siding and was put off by their aggressive approach. The MEI salesperson was not only courteous, helpful and not the hard-sell type, he was the only one who pointed out I had hail damage. He put extra effort into making me happy. I had siding, roofing, new windows and a storm door put in. The work done in a timely manner, they cleaned up after themselves and they did a professional job. I now have a beautiful home that looks new! I would recommend MEI with no reservations.
Maria Morris
My husband and I recently had new windows installed, and I am in LOVE with them! They come with a Lifetime Warranty, and I'm so pleased with how the Installers Cleaned up after they were done installing. You would never know that anyone came and was tromping up and down our yard. During the "picking out" process, we made an appointment with Cher to have a Sales Rep show us around the showroom. We met with our Sales person (Derrick I think his name was).. And he was very friendly, explained everything well. Had a lot of knowledge on each product we looked at.
I will be recommending MEI to anyone and everyone who was effected by the Storms that have recently hit the Midwest, and or are just looking for a Face Lift.

I purchased a home with Wellington Windows already installed. I was having issues with one of the windows and called Minnesota Exteriors. I found out that the windows I have are no longer made. Minnesota Exteriors was unable to help me, but Cher was very helpful in giving me some suggestions. I will keep Minnesota Exteriors in mind for when my next remodel project comes around.
Sara Sederberg
UPDATE: We just had our inspection and the inspector commented on how well the windows were installed and sealed and finished from the outside. He said it looked like they had always been there.
Derrick was great at our initial consultation and provided us the price without having to play the "call my manager" games. Cindy was great at communication while we waited for the order to arrive and setting up final steps.
We had a large window job (25+ windows) and the windows look and work great!! The crew that installed the windows cleaned up after themselves each day and were easy to work with. They went above and beyond on some surprises they found along the way and completed our job in 3 days!! I have already referred one friend to MEI and would not hesitate to refer again.
Colette Hoeschen
We are very happy with our windows and door! From start to finish these guys didn’t disappoint. Great install crew and we would highly recommend.

I’ll start by saying that it is always scary to choose products for your home and companies to do work on your home. I am writing to help you make that decision! After obtaining several estimates for replacing windows in the condominium building I live in, it became very apparent that all 12 condo owners in my building liked what Minnesota Exteriors, Inc. (MEI) had to offer! We had a unanimous vote from the owners to use this company! It was a total pleasure working with our Salesperson, Brian Carlson, who was able to beat the competition and offer us great pricing on some great windows. The installation teams they send out are very fast and very good. They take care of you and you get what you want in no time! If anyone ever asks me where to buy windows, I will always and forever recommend MEI!!!
Matt Proulx
MEI did windows for our entire house plus a patio door. We were satisfied with the work and the costumer service was great. Cindy was our sales rep. and she was great to work with and always got back to us in a timely manner with answers to our questions. I would recommend MEI to anyone looking to replace windows in their home.

We recently had our windows and siding done in the spring of 2019 by Minnesota Exteriors. Brandon Collins was excellent to work with. He was very knowledgeable in the products and always willing to answer questions throughout the process. The work crews were timely, neat, and had a high attention to detail. Thanks for the excellent service.
Christopher Hughes
MN Exteriors was great to do business with. My girlfriend and I purchased our house in April and our first big project was to replace the roof. Brandon came out and provided us with an estimate. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with all our options. The work was done quickly and the results are what we expected.
Todd Sharkey
We used MEI this past winter to perform a full window replacement of our 1960s era single pane casement windows with brand new wood framed Anderson dual paned windows. Brian, our salesman, came out and inspected the windows, took measurements and a trim sample and provided a quote within a couple days.
What was really excellent was the service when the installation team came out to our house. They came during the coldest stretch of the winter this past January and installed 14 out of the 15 windows. This whole process of removing and reinstalling new windows, including any interior sash work and exterior wrapping, was done in the same day, keeping the cold out of the house as much as possible. On the 15th window, it was noticed that the measurements were off and that a different window was needed. To MEIs credit, they placed an order with Anderson and had a new replacement within a couple weeks. They also corrected an error in milling with the new window trim and having all of that replaced versus trying to make a size that was too small fit into the opening. Each of these errors were handled professionally and without any financial impact to our family.
I have been very satisfied with our new windows now that they have been installed these last 7 months. The windows look great, the trim matches wonderfully with our house's interior, and I would be happy to have them come back into our house for another project. Thank you MEI!

Minnesota Exteriors did a excellent job with the installation. However, I'm extremely disappointed with Marvin Windows. There are a number of issues with the screens (everyone of them looks like there are fine line scratches in them). The Marvin Patio door has a small hole in the interior frame. Marvin said this was not field replaceable. Someone from AM painting was supposed to fix it and bill it back to MN exteriors. This has not happened yet. The screen for the patio door was wrong. MN exteriors reordered it. When it came in it didn't look right...you can see daylight on both sides of the screen when it is closed. I'm not satisfied with that. Marvin sent the wrong interior for the half-moon window in the kitchen...MN exteriors reordered it. It's been nothing but delay after delay. Per my contract, I was only allowed to withhold 5% of the amount due. You can bet that when I decide to do the rest of the house, I will demand a 20% withholding. I only think this is fair.
After contacting Marvin Windows, a rep from Marvin came out an looked at the installation. He corrected 2 problems with the initial install, and added the missing parts.
The above was from last year (2016)
Now it's October, 2017.
I had the rest of my house done with Marvin Infinity series windows. Not the cheapest but the best. I was very satisfied with results. The installers put down tarps in all the rooms and walkways first. They did the entire job in one day (well they worked into the dark).
Interior clean up was great, including the garage where they unwrapped the windows, and the driveway where they cut the finished wood (which by the way matched the woodwork in the house exactly). Exterior cleanup around the house, not so good. I did find two nails laying outside the patio door...I didn't look at the rest of the area yet. But it was dark and hopefully they'll come back and look around.

We just recently used MEI for our roofing and siding. I was completly amazed with how quickly everything was done and how great it looked. The roof was done in a day and the siding was done quick as well. The installers were super friendly and went out of their way to make sure things were done to our satisfaction. I dealt with Barbara in customer service and she was amazing as well. She responded very quickly to any and all of my crazy emails! The whole process went smoothly and the workers went the extra mile to fix the damaged plywood under the old siding. I would highly recommend them for any home remodeling or repairs. Thanks MEI!
Todd Gak
Top notch service from this company that replaced our soffits and fascia. Worked with company representative, Troy, who came out to our home to evaluate our repair. His quote was 700 dollars less than the next lowest quote we received from the other companies we received bids from. Once installed over two days, final impression was A+! And Troy and crew took away our gutters at no charge despite telling him initially I'd recycle myself. The company, Troy, and install crew highly recommended!!!
Don Poole
MEI did a great job on our replacement windows. Work was done on time and very professionally. They installed our windows when we weren't home (as planned), came home to new windows, installed perfectly and everything was neat/clean as if they hadn't been here (except for new windows)
Ashley Weber
I recently called Minnesota Exteriors when I wanted to replace some of my windows and a sliding glass door. The salesman came out and gave me a quote. He was not pushy at all and took his time explaining everything to me. When the installer came out and put in the new windows and door, he was very neat and completely cleaned up after the work was done. I would recommend Minnesota Exteriors to my friends or family and would definitely use them again for any repairs I may have in the future.
Bill Bixby
We planned to have some windows replaced on our home in Eden Prairie this spring. We had Wellington Windows replace our front bow window last year and were very happy with the whole experience. When we tried to contact Wellington we found that they were no longer in business. My wife went to the Home Show and noticed the Wellington sign along with Minnesota Exteriors. She then saw Troy Dvergsten who was our salesman when we did business with Wellington. She was very happy to see Troy as we really enjoyed working with him at Wellington. Troy remembered my wife and she called me to say how happy she was that she found Troy again. We have complete confidence in Troy's knowledge of the industry, his honesty and desire to give us the best product and value. Needless to say, we had Troy out to our house a few days later and signed up for more Wellington windows. We don't have to shop around when we have Troy to take care of us. Next year we will have him back to do a few more.
Buster Heiman
I thought they were a great company to do business with. I checked with a few and found them to be easy and convenient to work with. Salesperson was knowledgeable and laid out all options. Good communication, but could do better especially in area of on site personnel. Had both installation of siding and stone work done quickly and efficiently, but more attention to detail like set up of ladders to protect plants and cleanup or walk through would have been nicer, but I'm sure each crew is different. Overall a very nice job! The house looks 100 times better and I would go back to them for more work as needed. Competitive pricing.
Kayla
We bought windows from Minnesota Exteriors years ago. Recently, we noticed the seals leaking on a few of them. It seemed the seals were wearing and they needed repair. We weren't sure if we should call the manufacturer of the company that sold us the windows. So I decided to call MEI first and they were awesome! More than willing to help us with the next steps to get our windows repairs. It was really good customer service, they were great to work with!
Michael Cain
Minnesota Exteriors, Inc. provided my family with an excellent experience from beginning to end. We had particularly great experiences with Kelly O'Brien, their knowledgable sales professional and Lorna Carlson, their customer service representative. My wife and I made numerous changes (we were rookies) to the color of the materials and the scope of the project. We were never met with any resistance and were only treated professionally and MEI was very responsive to our questions. We had a tight budget and MEI was willing to honor our limits. They never tried to pressure us into spending more than we could afford. Once we met Mr. O'Brien, it was immediately clear that he is a wealth of knowledge about the products and industry. He was willing to give us the time we needed to completely understand the process, time frame and cost. When the job was being performed, the workers were respectful of our property and offered to lend an extra hand with some of the prep work that was needed to get ready.
After the roof was put on, we realized that we should have taken an old basketball hoop down first. When we finally did, it left a gap in the trim where the hoop was covering. Without hesitations, MEI sent out a crew a few months later to touch it up. Now, It looks great.
In short, our experience with Minnesota Exteriors, Inc. exceeded expectations for quality and timeliness. I will use this company again and have recommended their services to my friends. Could not be happier. Thanks again, Kelly!
Johnny Z
Very pleased with the work MEI performed for my house. I had the roof, siding, windows, and patio doors all replaced by MEI. I had several companies come out to bid on the project. I frankly told everyone everyone the same thing, and Dan came out on top. Dan had understood me best and offered the most competitive bid to earn my business. Some of the other companies were $10-20k more. If you have a window project ask for Tim and his brother for the job. Great group of guys to have a fun time and get the work done right. Thank you
Jeana Beberg
We had a great experience with Dan and the whole crew at MN exteriors. We contacted them after we had storm damage to our home and from the first appointment to meeting with our insurance rep to the finished job, Dan made everything easy and simple and everything was done in a very timely manner. We are thrilled with results of the project and the upgrade it gave to our home exterior. We’d highly recommend working with Dan and with Minnnesota Exteriors.
Cynthia Blackmon
I had new siding installed. Troy came out and gave me a estimate. He was great and he showed up on time. He answered all my questions. During the process of the installment, I had a problem , i called him and he came out right away. Everything was taken care of.. I will use the company again and ask for Troy. He was amazing.
Trudy Johnson
The siding on our home was damaged by a hail storm in August 2013. Our Minnesota Exteriors rep walked us through the claim process with our insurance company and took care of the paperwork.
The installation crew did a great job, working in some very tough weather, to get the project completed. The siding looks great and we are very pleased with the result.
Christopher Nelson
Right from the beginning Derrick was AWESOME! He stayed till 7pm so that my wife and I could pick out what we wanted put on our home. He also had great insight from personal experience to what would work best for our home and budget. The customer service was spot on too, keeping me well informed as to what was going on with our project. The crew worked hard and completed the project in 2.5 days!!! No mess, no fuss, problems. Our house looks SPECTACULAR. I was proud to have their sign in my yard and have no problem referring them to you!
April Wolters
We have used MEI for multiple renovations. This time around we were able to get our roof done. They provided excellent customer service and presented us with the lowest rates in town and even treated us to a gift for being a repeat customer. I always recommend MEI to friends and family for their home renovations. We will definitely keep them in mind when considering our next home improvement project.
Nathan Nasgovitz
In December of 2013, I had Minnesota Exteriors replace all nine of my home's windows with vinyl Lindsay windows. I had first contacted MN Exteriors in January of 2013 to get a quote. It wasn't until November of 2013 that I actually decided to follow through and again contacted MN Exteriors. By this time, however, the salesman that I had dealt with in January had taken some type of personal leave, so I was put into contact with a different salesman. I thought that this was going to cause some troubles or delays, but the new salesman was very responsive. He suggested that he come out, and he basically redid my quote since I had some additional questions. He thought it best just to start over and be involved from the beginning so that we could work through it together, giving me the best chance of having the best windows for me. Both of my salesman were very friendly and helpful in deciding the best windows for me. I'm a young, single, new home owner with no window experience; their suggestions were helpful and appreciated.
After I put in my order and waited the few weeks to manufacture my custom windows, the installers came. It just so happened that the day of installation was during one of the extremely cold streaks with really bad roads. The installers braved the treacherous roads to come the day of my install. They were a little late, but, really, who can blame them? They put blankets down in the entrance way where they stored most of their gear and took shoes off when inside. It was a two man team with one outside and one inside. They moved quickly and were focused despite the terribly cold weather. They stayed a full day and managed to install all the windows. They cleaned up after themselves both inside and out, vacuuming wood shavings due to cutting out the old windows and picked up and hauled away all pieces of the old windows.
All-in-all, my Minnesota Exteriors' window replacement was a positive experience and have no set backs to speak of. I tested for any airflow around the newly installed windows during the extremely cold days when it was around -20 degs F and windy and couldn't feel a thing. I'd say they did a quality install. The new windows are so much better than my breezy, rotted, 27 year old wood windows. Not to mention, I was happy with costs, considering they handled everything from beginning to end, including scheduling and paying for the inspector. Everything was very convenient, done on time, and done well. If you're looking to replace windows, I recommend MN Exteriors.
Kayla Dutton
We recently purchased gutters at Minnesota Exteriors and we could not be happier with the result and entire process. Our salesman, Brandon, was very attentive to our needs and communicated well throughout the process. The installation was quick and high quality. The whole process was stress free and Minnesota Exteriors truly cares about the customer.
C Sellers
Scott came out to my home to give me an estimate to replace my patio door with window above. He was knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and wasn’t pushy at all. He gave me an estimate on the spot and it was considerably less than other quotes I had received. I most definitely would recommend Minnesota Exteriors to all my friends and family.
Dan Kuntz
Full exterior of home update; Roof, Siding, Windows, and Gutters.
Overall we are very satisfied with the products that Minnesota Exteriors installed on our home and the end result looks great.
The one complaint that we would have was communications. The job foreman rarely knew where his siding sub-contractor was at. Due to poor communications I took several days of extra vacation to monitor the work being done and notifying the job foreman on the status of his crew.
Arlo Darvial
I am very impressed with the skill and professionalism of the MEI workers. They are friendly and helpful. I am very happy with the new look of my house. I would recommend them to anyone looking for siding, windows and doors. I found them by asking my neighbors about their lovely siding and they told me about MEI.
Daryl Mandoza
MEI did an excellent job of communicating the scope of work, recommending the proper products, time frame work would be completed, scheduling of crews, working with my insurance company and the installation, quality and clean up of the siding and roofing project they completed. I am very pleased and have already recommended MEI to my friends.
Kyle Arndt
I recently had a new set of windows installed by MEI. I did A LOT of looking around and getting quotes from other companies. First of all, MEI was the only company to call back in a timely manner. Secondly, MEI has great customer service and didn’t try to push certain products on us. Third, after the installers came and left, you would have never known anyone was in or out of our house. Fast and efficient installation, and excellent cleanup. So far, ZERO complaints or problems to report on the windows. I will defiantly be using this company again for future exterior needs on our house.
Ron H.
Had new shingles,siding and windows installed,looks great,service was great but in the process of it all a large waste management truck with a 30 yard dumpster backed in to the driveway and cracked it.I sent pictures and reported it to multiple people but in the end Minnesota exterior told me they would not repair my driveway and waste management would not either so after spending a lot of money with this company I will have to have my driveway repaired and pay for it myself.
Jeffrey Carlson
I had vinyl siding installed, the tear off and replacement looks outstanding!! Outstanding work and the quality of the materials was superb! Looks Awesome!!
Sarah Moen
We had a great experience with MEI for our roof replacement. Their price is in line with other quotes we received however their professionslism and responsiveness is far superior to the competition. From our first inquiry to the day our roof was replaced our questions were promptly answered and everything went smooth, without a hitch. No surprises or changes with the quote and work done, they are honest and trustworthy! I will definately recommend MEI to others.
Joseph Bristlin
Super awesome company. Customer service was great. Installation was fast and well done. Troy did a great job informing us on the product and followed up son everything when it was done. Will gladly call them again for future windows.
jalunde2
During our recent old fashioned winter we determined that the gentle draft blowing through our house should no longer be ignored. I contacted several contractors to replace the windows and siding on our 63 year old house in St. Paul. MEI won our work with their professionalism, honesty and warrantee. We will return to them for future work due to the fine and conscientious job they did with our siding and windows. I recommend this company.
Nick H
The showroom was excellent! It gave my wife and me a better idea of the large product selection MEI has to offer. The sales representative who assisted us, was very friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us narrow down our options to products that we were confident would look great on our home and fit in our budget. We are very pleased with this company and will definitely be recommending MEI to our friends and family!
Jennifer Osman
I recently had my roof replaced using Minnesota Exteriors Inc. Everything from the initial consultation to working with the office staff ran very smoothly. They were a great company to work with and I loved the finished result of my roof! Many of my neighbors have commented on how great it looks! I would highly recommend them!

Kelly Johnson
We had our leaky roof repaired and shingles replaced/upgraded in Fall 2012 after talking with MEI at the state fair. MEI was prompt in scheduling a meeting to discuss our project, provide shingle samples, and answer any questions. They were forthcoming with two incentives the company was offering – which were great! MEI was competitively priced and within what our insurance company was willing to reimburse. We are very happy with our new roof and would recommend MEI.
Michelle Roering
We had a patio door and picture window replaced on 9/27/18 aft waiting 9 weeks. The installers were professional and the job was done quickly (They get 5 stars). The reason for 4 stars is the new patio screen had a tear it in and it was going to get fixed and installed. I was lead to believe later the same week but 6 weeks later the screen arrived! and will be installed 11/6/18. I assume it is a new screen and the damage screen was discarded. The door couldn't be open all of Oct. and I am frustrated. 3 stars for MEI.
Cody Pyrus Fiereck
Great communication. Friendly and professional staff. Great value at a fair price.
Megan Roche
MEI replaced the siding on my house from the hail storm damage. I am so pleased with the end result. The installers were very professional and did a wonderful job. It looks like I have a new home. I plan on using MEI for future home improvements.

Derrick was our representative from MEI, he was professional and courteous. He made us feel very comfortable in the decision to replace all of our windows. The replacement went fast and easy with no mess. Thanks Derrick and MEI!
Jeff Parupsky
We love our new windows! Troy, Annjanette and the installation team were all great to work with. We'd definitely work with MEI again.
Alyssa Deibert
Excellent service! MN Exteriors was quick to respond to my initial inquiry, and came out to provide a quote within the week. Their costs were fair and they were transparent in explaining the costing breakdown. The customer service was outstanding, and they were able to provide detailed information on the status on our project at any point in time. I look forward to working with them again!
Travis Nelson
The salesman was very patient, helpful and knowledgeable about the siding we were looking at. The construction crew was very friendly and answered any questions we had. The customer support staff was easy to talk to and were willing to find out information about our questions immediately, instead of saying "We'll call you back". Thanks MEI! We would recommend them to anyone!
Katie Bennis
I had my siding and gutters replaced with Minnesota Exteriors. They did a wonderful job, all the way from the salesman, to the delivery men, to the siders that did the work. They are a very professional company and I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends, coworkers, or family.
Doug Birkeland
Really love the appearance of our house! We have had many compliments from neighbors. And we really liked dealing with their salesperson Bob. He answered all our questions. He was very knowledgeable of all their products and patiently explained the pros and cons of the different products we were considering.
Mike K
Company Name: Minnesota Exteriors Inc Categories: Siding Windows Services Performed: Yes * More Weight is given to a review where work has been completed. Work Completed Date: September 30, 2012 Hire Again: Yes Description Of Work: Removed old siding and deck. Replaced all windows and doors. Repair rot as needed and flash for future deck. Installed Azek trim around perimeter to meet LP grade requirements. Installed LP Smartside lap on sides and back. Install LP Smartside on the front in a board and batten design. All siding was prefinished and the windows were Lindsay Sunview series with an Anderson sliding glass door. Member Comments: I bid this job out for over a year and called all the big players in the area and also some smaller companies. My house is about 20 square of siding and the estimates were all over the place. The top estimate was over $50k with a lot of bids coming back in the 40s. I think some companies throw out huge numbers just to see how dumb/rich you are. So when the sales guy, Dan, came out I was already jaded by the whole process. I told him what I was looking for and that I had a number in my head what I thought it should cost. He didn't try any hard sell tactics and out of everyone I talked to he seemed the most interested in getting the job and working with me to get to a reasonable price. I will say he definitely earned his money on this job. We went back and forth for about a year and he ran through many different scenarios to keep the price on budget. It probably bordered on ridiculous how many quotes he sent me but through the whole time he remained professional and didn't seem bothered by all the hoops he was going through to get the job. He even asked me to get other bids and reviewed them with me pointing out things he thought the other guys missed, showing how their low price was too good to be true. I eventually signed up with MEI and once all the materials were ready I stayed home and watched the whole job to make sure it was all done right. The guys were quick and efficient and the finished project looks great. I've gotten a lot of compliments and even an offer to buy the house! I'm satisfied and will call them again for future projects. One area of improvement could have been the communication about the status of the project and the speed in wrapping up all the finishing touches. The job was basically done in a week but there were small things that needed to be finished that got dragged out. Some of that was my fault because I'm away quite a bit for work but I think the project management could have been a bit more thorough. I was expecting the project manager to come out and see the job or at least call me to discuss but it was me calling customer service asking about the status of the final details and when they were going to schedule the inspection! It wasn't a huge deal for me since I'm a details person and prefer to be in control anyways. Cindy in customer service did a great job following up on everything and making sure I was taken care of. All of the little frustrations at the end were pretty minor and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Overall A Price B Quality A Responsiveness B Punctuality A Professionalism A
Megan Jorgenson
I recently had new window inserts put in by MEI. I could not have had an easier experience. The sales rep was very knowledgeable about the products and post selection the contractors did a superb job installing them. I would recommend this company to others
Matt Bjurquist
Bob has a lot of experience and helped me get my siding repaired after a hail storm. He was good to have on my side when dealing with the insurance company.
MEI repairs look great! Thanks TEAM
Dean Johnson
We have worked with Minnesota Exteriors on our new homes and remodeling projects and have had the best experience with them from the quality of their products to their installation expertise to their timeliness and service. We will continue to use their services on our projects as they come up!
Tom Johnson
I rated 4 because there's always room for improvement in anything, most of our experience with MEI was a five however. The MEI team was very professional from our sales rep Ryan Carey and the office staff to the sup's and installers. We had a quality issue with our electrician but MEI was on it and took care of it, and a big language barrier with the siding crew but i tell you what, these guys and gals can work, Thank you all so much.
O K
I recommend MEI for storm damage repairs. They are a local company and have been in business a long time. The staff are great to work with and the work crews were very professional and cleaned up the site very well. The sales person I worked with was very thorough and responsive to our questions. MEI made the process easy and worry free.
Jeffery Thole
My roofing project went ok. They sent a large crew and finished in one day. Unfortunately, they spray painted the new roof vents without my knowledge or permission. The spray paint began to peel in less than one year. After many phone calls and many weeks, they eventually did send a guy out to correct the situation.
Aashly Santiago
After our last debacle with a contractor, we were terrified and very untrusting of all contractors! Bob Guzzo at MN Exteriors Inc. has been phenomenal to work with. He's given our trust and faith back in working with contractors. He's informative, always helpful, always willing to listen and does what he says he will do. We would definitely work with them again in the future.
Loras Holmberg
Quality act from beginning to end. Crew worked hard and with quality on Window installation...rewarded them with a good tip and home-made lemonade. Went with MN Ext because they had replaced the siding on my townhome which my townhome association paid for. I had to pay for windows. Wanted MN Ext so that if there is ever any problem such as a leak, MN Ext is only company involved. No possibility of one contractor pointing their finger at the other.
Jason Towel
I had my roof done at the end of September, and these guys were awesome. Very competitive pricing and very quick completion of the work. They cleaned up all the nails and old shingles, and were on their way. The roof looks great. Thanks!!
Craig Andrews
Our house was affected by the recent storm that came through. This company actually took the time to CALL US! They informed us how the process would go after we filed our claim. So far everything has gone seamlessly. We get a call every couple of weeks from MEI to let us know the status of our project and an estimated timeline for when the new product will be installed.
Angie Adelman
We had an outstanding experience with Minnesota Exteriors. We had all our windows replaced in our home in a day and they were outstanding. The price was affordable and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to future customers.
Feliza Martinez
I was very satisfied with the serviced received through MEI and there employees. From the start I got the help that I needed, questions answered and very nice people. At the beginning I thought that changing all the windows from our house would take about a week but it actually took only to days! Including doors too. I would definitely recommend there services they are great company and it is not too expensive.
Noel Derrick
Took longer than it should have but I spent the day pressure washing my house and saw up close just how good the work was. It was worth the wait.
Also, I've talked to a number of home improvement salesmen in recent years. They all pale in comparison to Bob Guzzo. Bob was easy going, no pressure, knowledgeable and get this - honest.
Alexandra Sanden
I got regular updates regarding the status of my project, and everyone was extremely friendly. Even though my project was small (gutters), they made me feel like my satisfaction was important to them. I will definitely use Minnesota Exteriors for future projects.
Laura Carlson
I needed new siding and windows. I found out my windows were still in good shape when they came to do the estimate. That saved me a ton of money. The job was done quickly and the work is satisfactory after one year.
Mike OConnor
Brandon Collins made the sales process so easy and really bent over backwards to get us exactly what we wanted and more. His help with our insurance issues saved the day and we highly recommend him!
Douglas Gwost
The estimate was done promptly as promised. While the estimate was higher than competitor's, the overall package of what needed to be done seemed to be more complete. The actual insulation work was done professionally; the crew had to do a lot of hard work in close spaces. Cleanup was immaculate: we were told they "tried to make the work area cleaner than when they arrived." There was some confusion on the Xcel rebate, but this the new online submission portal at Xcel, that should improve.
Tracey Benson
1 week ago, I talked with Dan at Minnesota Exteriors about ice dams on the downspouts of our 72 unit condo building. Dan came out the next day, assessed the situation, and within 6 days, the ice has been removed. The whole experience was efficient. Thank you to the crew of Minnesota Exteriors.
Lonny Sekeres
The experience with Troy and MEI have been great. Always a pleasure working with Troy on multiple projects through two different houses! Would definitely recommend!!
Julius Langner
Looking for windows in our home. MEI was very knowledgeable and really cared about our questions, comments and concerns. Bob was great to work with.
Dave Kremer
We shopped for windows for about 5 months after the home improvement show. We also had a contractor bid for us who we had done business with previously. First of all, the other contractors were all over the board in terms of what they recommended and pricing. After spinning our wheels for a few months, we got a quote from Derrick at MEI. We are in the midst of a full house remodel and got delayed ordering our windows. Very understanding, kept in touch, finally we ordered and they told us it would be about 10 weeks, but it was actually 8. The installers were really first class. Joe and three younger guys came out (his son, nephew and another guy). We had 18 windows in by the end of the day. We have 50 year old red cedar siding and some of the boards break when you just look at them. Not one break or chip in the boards, no dust, no muss, no bother:. Not one chip or scratch in any of the Marvin Fibrex Windows. Great support staff in the office (we had Cindy). One and half days and all the windows were in and everything was perfect. Awesome people!

Just want to thank Troy Dvergsten, a very professional and knowledgeable sales contact.
After finding out what exactly we're looking for he explained in details all options, differences in materials, styles and cost of each selected option.

Great experience with Minnesota Exteriors. Had our roof replaced this fall from some hail damage. Would definitely recommend them to others.

They were unable to help with my particular problem. However, the lady on the phone was SUPER nice and gave me the names and numbers of a couple businesses who might be able to help. Thank you so much!
This kind of service goes a long way to insure that I will call back when I have a problem that they can solve.

I've done quite a lot of renovations to the family home, and I must say that this contractor is among the best, if not the best of all 32 contractors that I have utilized. Can't beat 'em for customer service. Not just lip service!

M.E.I. did a great job on our siding and gutter project. Bob in sales, Cindy in customer service, and the crew that did the work were friendly and professional. We were 100 percent satisfied with the job, and would recommend M.E.I. for your project.

Had new siding installed on house and garage, our home and garage are beautiful again. Love coming home and seeing our new siding. Our Project Coordinator was Troy Dvergsten who did an outstanding job from our first meeting to the last. He answered all our questions and answered all our emails in a timely matter. I highly recommend MEI and Troy Dvergsten. Thank you all at MEI and keep making home owners happy.
