These are real homes in this city, not renderings. Each one shows what was on the wall before and what went up in its place.

Maple Grove’s median home was built in 1991, which explains most of the calls we get from this city. Homes from that era are typically clad in one of three materials, and all three are reaching the end of their service life at once.
| What is on the wall | Why it is failing | What to look for |
| Hardboard (masonite or LP) | Compressed wood fiber absorbs water at cut edges. LP’s Inner-Seal ran from 1985 to 1995 and was the subject of a major class action. | Swelling at butt joints and nail heads, soft spots near grade, paint that will not hold |
| Cedar lap and shakes | Needs repainting every 4 to 6 years. Wooded lots near Elm Creek and Fish Lake draw woodpeckers. | Splitting, cupping, drill holes in gable ends, rot behind downspouts |
| Early vinyl | Brittle in deep cold, dents from hail, fades unevenly on south and west walls | Cracked panels, seam separation, color mismatch after past repairs |
On our Maple Grove projects, masonite and cedar dominate, with a growing amount of aging vinyl coming off in recent years.
North-facing walls dry the slowest and are usually where rot starts. If you inspect one elevation, start there.
Fiber cement holds up here because it doesn’t absorb water at cut edges, doesn’t attract woodpeckers, and keeps its color through freeze-and-thaw cycles.
Product alone is not the answer. Our siding installers treat every project as a wall system, not a surface swap:
That last point separates a 30-year exterior from a 12-year one.
Most homeowners here replace windows alongside siding. With the cladding off, our window installers can flash and integrate the new units properly, and you avoid paying twice for the same trim and disposal work.
Homes built through the 1990s in this city often still carry their original builder-grade units, specified to the energy code of their day rather than today’s.
Signs your windows are due:
We install Marvin, including full-frame replacement windows on homes where the jambs have rotted.
Front entries on 1990s Maple Grove homes are often the single largest air leak in the house. Builder-grade slabs warp, weatherstripping compresses, and thresholds settle out of level long before the door looks worn.
Our door installers handle:
We reset the threshold, correct settled framing, and flash the opening into the wall system instead of relying on caulk. When siding goes on at the same time, door and window openings are flashed into the same drainage plane.

Siding, window, and roofing replacements all require a permit here.
HOA approval. About one in five Maple Grove homes is attached, and many neighborhoods, including the Rush Creek communities, have active associations. Architectural review can take several weeks, so submit before you schedule installation.
We have been installer-based since 1998. Our leadership came up through installation, which means the person estimating your project understands what the crew will find behind your siding.
We also serve neighboring communities including Plymouth and Anoka. See our full Minnesota service area.
Your consultant walks the home, identifies what is actually failing, and proposes colors and profiles that suit your block, whether that is an established two-story near Weaver Lake or a newer build off Rush Creek.
Our certified James Hardie installers have completed thousands of Twin Cities projects, dozens of them in Maple Grove. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and handle the flashing and sheathing work that stays hidden once the siding is on.
Every warranty is issued at completion, and we stay reachable years afterward. Because we install to manufacturer specifications, the coverage you paid for stays valid.
Yes. Maple Grove requires permits for major exterior replacements, including siding, windows, and roofing, and they must be applied for online through the city’s ePermits system. We pull the permit and manage inspections as part of your project.
Most residential projects require plan review, which the city estimates at one to two weeks. Work can begin once the permit is issued and the fee is paid, so plan for that lead time before scheduling installation.
Hardboard looks like painted wood lap siding but swells and softens at the butt joints and nail heads, and the bottom courses near grade usually fail first. If your home was built between 1985 and 1995 and the paint will not hold, have it inspected.
If your home is in an association, almost certainly yes. Architectural review can take several weeks, so submit your color and material selections before booking installation, and we will supply the documentation your board requires.
It often does, depending on your policy and deductible. Damage from hail is not always visible from the ground, and it frequently affects one elevation more than the others, so have all four sides inspected before you file.
Yes, siding and roofing work continues through the winter here, though extreme cold can affect scheduling. Many homeowners book in fall or winter for spring installation to secure a preferred date.
Most Maple Grove siding projects run two to three weeks from tear-off to final cleanup. Window replacement typically adds up to a week, and roofing is usually completed in one to two days.
Whether your cedar has finally given out, your 1990s windows are letting in January, or a storm took a pass at your street, we can walk your home and give you a clear, itemized plan.
