Edina Siding, Window, and Door Replacement

What Makes an Edina Exterior Project Different

More than half of Edina’s housing stock was built in the 1960s or earlier, according to the city’s own Comprehensive Plan. That single fact shapes nearly every project we quote here.

Edina projects tend to sort by era:

  • Country Club and Morningside (1920s to 1940s). Stucco, brick, and narrow wood lap, where detail work matters more than speed.
  • Countryside, Birchcrest, Chowen Park, Pamela Park (1950s to 1960s). Ramblers and split-levels with cedar lap, shakes, or painted steel. These are the homes most often ready for full siding replacement.
  • Hardboard-era homes (1970s to 1980s). Swelling at the bottom course and delamination near grade are the usual triggers.
  • Infill and rebuilds. New construction next to 70-year-old neighbors, which raises the stakes on color and profile selection.

We size the scope to the house, not to a template.

Our Clients Say It Best

Outstanding customer service and great company to work with on your siding needs. I had them install a vinyl siding product 10+ years ago and we have had small issue issues over the years where we needed something put back on and they came out without question and fixed the issues. A+ all the way. Classy company and they do it the RIGHT WAY!

Craftsman’s Choice replaced 5 windows, a sliding door, and redid siding on one section of our home back in August. Everyone from Ben, to Chris, to Lee and Donny were pleasant and excellent to work with, and the work looks fantastic. They even went out of their way to fix a bit of siding for me around the replacement area. Next time I have exterior work, I won’t use anyone else except Craftsman's Choice.

James Hardie Siding Replacement in Edina

Most Edina siding replacement projects start with material that has run out of life. Cedar painted six times over. Masonite that wicks water. Steel siding dented by hail and faded on the south wall.

We recommend James Hardie fiber cement here because it holds dimensional stability through the freeze and thaw cycles that break down wood and hardboard, and ColorPlus finishes resist fading on unshaded south and west walls.

Why our siding installers matter:

  • Minnesota’s first James Hardie Preferred Remodeler, back in 2000
  • Elite Preferred contractor and one of the largest Hardie installers in the country
  • Installed to manufacturer specifications, which keeps your warranty intact

Window Replacement for Edina's Postwar and Prewar Homes

Window replacement in Edina splits into two very different conversations.

In postwar ramblers and split-levels, the originals are usually aluminum sliders or single-pane wood units with failed glazing. Replacement here buys real comfort: fewer drafts, fewer January frost lines, warmer lower levels.

In Country Club and Morningside homes, character comes first. Sightlines, sash proportion, and grille patterns have to read correctly in a 1928 opening, which takes careful measurement and product selection rather than a stock order.

Our window installers handle both. We often do windows and siding in the same phase so flashing, trim, and the water-resistive barrier are integrated rather than patched together. See our full replacement window services.

Door Replacement That Fits the Entry You Already Have

Older Edina entries were rarely built for the door sizes sold today. Undersized openings, settled thresholds, and sidelights that no longer seal show up in homes from every era here.

Our door installers handle entry doors, patio and French doors, and storm doors in fiberglass, steel, and wood. Every door replacement includes threshold and flashing correction, not just a new slab in an old opening.

If the entry still feels undersized, a portico or covered porch often does more for the front elevation than the door alone. More on our door replacement services.

Edina Permits, Historic Review, and Tree Protection

This is where Edina projects stall for homeowners who hire the wrong crew.

  • Building permits. Edina requires a permit for work to a permanent weather-resistive surface, which covers siding, windows, and roofing. Re-siding usually triggers an electrical permit too. (Edina Building Inspections, 952-826-0372)
  • Country Club District. Roughly 555 homes, 91 percent built between 1924 and 1944. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for significant structural changes to street-facing facades, and the updated Plan of Treatment took effect January 1, 2026. (City of Edina)
  • Tree protection. A tree protection plan is tied to residential building permit applications, which matters on Edina’s mature lots. (Ordinance details)
  • Watershed districts. Homes bordering a creek, pond, or wetland need Minnehaha Creek or Nine Mile Creek district confirmation during permitting.

We walk clients through all of it before construction starts, so nothing surprises you mid-project.

Edina Siding, Window, and Door FAQs

Yes. Edina requires a building permit for work to a permanent weather-resistive surface, which covers siding, windows, and roofing. Re-siding usually requires an electrical permit as well, since meter sockets and exterior fixtures come off during the work.

A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for demolition and new construction in the district, and for significant structural changes to street-facing facades. Straightforward in-kind replacement is treated differently than altering openings or rooflines. We recommend confirming your specific scope with Edina’s Heritage Preservation Commission before ordering material.

James Hardie fiber cement performs well in Minnesota because it stays dimensionally stable through freeze and thaw cycles that warp wood and delaminate hardboard. It also resists rot, pests, and the fading that shows up quickly on unshaded walls.

Cost depends on square footage, home shape, the number of stories, and what condition the sheathing is in once the old siding comes off. Edina homes vary widely, from 1,200-square-foot Morningside bungalows to 4,000 square foot two-stories. A free on-site estimate is the only accurate way to price it.

Most complete siding and window projects run three to four weeks of active construction. Permitting and material lead times happen before that, and historic district review adds time for Country Club properties.

Yes. Fiber cement can be installed in cold weather, and we run projects year-round. Scheduling around winter often means shorter lead times than peak summer.

Exterior replacement consistently ranks among the higher-return remodeling projects nationally, and in a market like Edina, curb appeal carries real weight at resale. Beyond value, replacing failed cladding stops water intrusion before it becomes structural repair.
