Midwest Building Exteriors
Best Overall in Prior Lake — Lakefront restoration specialists, documented HOA approval history, Scott County coverage from Eagan office.
Midwest Building Exteriors covers all of Scott County from our Eagan office on Nicols Road — Prior Lake jobs are dispatched daily with locally insured crews. Our installation history across Prior Lake includes Lakefront Park, Wilds, Northwood, Spring Lake, Boudin's Manor, and the older established neighborhoods near downtown.
Our certifications: GAF Master Elite (top 2% of US roofers, with full Designer shingle line authorization), James Hardie Elite Preferred, Andersen Certified Contractor, Trex Pro. We also maintain DaVinci synthetic slate installer training for lakefront properties where premium material is the standard.
Lakefront restoration on Prior Lake properties is its own discipline. Standard install spec on lakefront homes: full ice and water shield to six feet up from every eave (vs. three feet code minimum), complete re-flashing and re-wrap on every install, fastener replacement on all flashing terminations, upgraded ridge venting calibrated to actual attic geometry, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles as standard recommendation. Patch repairs on lakefront properties fail within two storm seasons — full re-wrap lasts the life of the system.
HOA architectural review handling: standard process pulls current design guidelines before quoting, submits review applications on the homeowner's behalf, coordinates color and material approval before tear-off scheduling. Documented experience across Wilds, Lakefront Park, and Boudin's Manor HOAs.
Our claim documentation process: drone aerial inspection, ground-level core samples, attic ventilation and ice dam assessment, full Xactimate scope to your adjuster within 48 hours, in-person attendance at every adjuster meeting (free), unlimited supplement handling. Our 24-month claim approval rate is 99% across 842 submitted claims.
Full-spectrum service: roofing (asphalt, synthetic slate, metal, cedar), James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide siding, Andersen windows, K-style, half-round, and copper gutters, Trex/AZEK composite decking. Bundled exterior projects close 4–6 weeks faster than equivalent scope split across multiple contractors.
Every Prior Lake installation crew is W-2 employee — senior project managers walk every job from first inspection through final warranty handoff. We do not subcontract production. Call (612) 750-6051 or request a free drone inspection online — typical scheduling within 48 hours.
