Midwest Building Exteriors
Best Overall in Edina — Specialists in DaVinci synthetic slate, copper standing-seam, James Hardie ColorPlus, and architect-led exterior remodels.
Midwest Building Exteriors is the south-metro contractor of choice for architect-led Edina remodels. Our project management team has installation history across Country Club, Morningside, Indian Hills, Highlands, Cahill, and the south Edina executive corridors — including DaVinci synthetic slate installations, copper standing-seam roof accents, full James Hardie ColorPlus fiber cement re-siding, and intricate flashing work on 1920s Tudors.
Our certification stack is the strongest available: GAF Master Elite (top 2% of US roofers), James Hardie Elite Preferred (top siding tier, including ColorPlus pre-finished product), Andersen Certified Contractor (including Architectural Collection and 400 Series), Trex Pro. We also maintain installer training and product authorization for DaVinci synthetic slate, EDCO standing-seam steel, and copper standing-seam through specialty distribution.
Edina projects routinely involve material specifications that no entry-tier contractor can execute. We carry GAF Designer shingle lines (Camelot II, Glenwood, Slateline) for projects where Timberline HDZ is too utilitarian, full DaVinci synthetic slate (12 color options, Class 4 impact rated, 50-year material warranty), and copper accent work fabricated by our specialty sheet-metal partner. For Country Club and Morningside historic-sensitive properties, we match shingle profile and color to surrounding homes and pull all required city design review approvals on the homeowner's behalf.
Our claim documentation process is the most rigorous in the market — and Edina is the city where that rigor pays off most visibly. We document every inspection with drone aerial photography, ground-level core samples, tree-strike impact analysis (critical for Edina, where branch impacts often dominate the damage scope), and a full Xactimate scope of loss delivered to the adjuster within 48 hours. Our 24-month residential claim approval rate is 99% across 842 submitted claims.
Service scope is intentionally full-spectrum: residential roofing (asphalt, synthetic slate, real slate, metal, cedar shake), James Hardie ColorPlus and LP SmartSide siding, Andersen windows (including Architectural Collection custom configurations), K-style, half-round, and copper gutters, Trex and AZEK composite decking with custom railing systems. One contractor across the full exterior scope is materially faster than coordinating two or three.
Every Edina installation crew is in-house. Senior project managers (not commission-only estimators) walk every job from first inspection through final warranty handoff. We do not subcontract production. Architectural review approvals, city permitting, and HOA design review are handled in-house by our project management team.
Edina projects start with a free, no-obligation consultation — typically on-site at your home, with material samples brought to the meeting. Call (612) 750-6051 or request a consultation online. We work with architects, designers, and homeowners directly, and our scope of work documents are detailed enough to bid against competitively without leaving room for mid-project surprises.
