🏡 A Complete Guide on What to Expect During Your Exterior Renovation

Updating the front of your house is one of the most powerful investments you can make. Especially in a climate like Minnesota’s, it helps protect your home from the elements, boosts curb appeal, and increases property value. While the transformation is exciting, not knowing what to expect can make it feel overwhelming.

At Midwest Exteriors MN, we believe the renovation process should be just as impressive as the final results. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve developed a professional, step-by-step approach focused entirely on the homeowner experience. Whether you’re planning a full exterior overhaul or focusing on one element—like roofing or siding—this guide will walk you through what to expect.

🛠️ Step 1: Complete Exterior Inspection & Free Consultation

It all begins with a simple conversation. Once you reach out to us, we’ll schedule a free, no-obligation consultation at your home. This visit goes far beyond basic measurements—we take the time to understand your goals, evaluate your property thoroughly, and identify any hidden issues.

Our seasoned experts will walk you around the property, highlight potential problem areas, and discuss your preferences regarding materials, design, and long-term maintenance. You’ll walk away knowing what’s working, what needs attention, and which improvements will provide the greatest return on investment.

During this step, you can expect:

• A detailed exterior inspection

• Evaluation of roofing, siding, windows, gutters, soffit, and fascia

• Open discussion about your concerns, goals, and design preferences

📋 Step 2: Tailored Proposal & Transparent Estimate

Following the consultation, we’ll develop a custom project proposal that includes everything you need to make an informed decision—not just a vague estimate. You’ll receive a comprehensive breakdown of materials, budget, timelines, warranties, and more.

We believe in transparent pricing and honest communication. No hidden costs. No pressure. Just facts and options that align with your needs.

Key elements of your proposal include:

• Project schedule and estimated start date

• Premium, USA-sourced material breakdown

• Financing options (with partners like Snap Financial)

• Warranty details and coverage

📆 Step 3: Pre-Project Planning & Scheduling

Once you approve the proposal, we shift into the planning phase. Our team will finalize material orders, schedule your job, and assign a dedicated project manager who will be your point of contact throughout.

Unlike many companies that rely on subcontractors, we use in-house, fully insured crews trained to meet our high standards. Before the project begins, we will walk you through what to expect, including landscaping protection, debris cleanup, and material staging.

This phase includes:

• Confirming your project start date

• Ordering any specialty materials (like standing seam metal roofing rolled on-site)

• Assigning your dedicated project manager

• Pre-construction check-in to verify all final details

🧱 Step 4: Renovation Begins – What Happens On-Site?

This is where the transformation happens. Our team shows up on time and ready to work on your scheduled day. We take pride in not only the quality of our work but in how we treat your home—with care, respect, and professionalism.

You’ll start to see results immediately. From setup to cleanup, every stage is handled with precision. Your project manager will provide frequent updates, including photos, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening.

During construction, we ensure:

• A safe, clean job site set up with proper protection

• Daily cleanups and courteous crew behavior

• Real-time progress updates and clear communication

• Full compliance with permits and building codes

✅ Step 5: Final Inspection & Quality Control

Before we consider your project complete, we conduct a thorough final inspection. Every flashing, seam, vent, and detail is reviewed to ensure it meets our rigorous quality standards.

You’ll walk the project with your project manager, have an opportunity to ask questions, and address any final concerns. We don’t leave until you are fully satisfied.

The final quality check includes:

• Exterior walkthrough with you, the homeowner

• Structural and workmanship verification

• Complete site cleanup and removal of debris

• Delivery of warranty documents and care instructions

🔁 Step 6: Post-Project Support & Ongoing Care

We maintain our relationship even after the final detail is completed. We believe in ongoing support and accountability. After your project wraps up, we’re here for any follow-up questions, maintenance guidance, or future services you may need.

Many of our clients return for additional work or refer friends and family—because they remember how seamless and respectful the experience was.

Post-project support includes:

• Access to our responsive customer service team

• Follow-up calls or visits as needed

• Maintenance tips and future service options

• Invitations to review and share your experience
