Midwest Building Exteriors
Best Overall in Woodland — Lakefront restoration specialists. Synthetic slate, copper standing-seam, cedar shake, Class 4 impact-resistant standard.
Midwest Building Exteriors serves Woodland with the same premium-material crew and senior project management we deploy across Deephaven, Minnetonka, and Edina. Our installation history across Bracketts Point and the Woodland village includes DaVinci synthetic slate, copper standing-seam roof accents, James Hardie ColorPlus pre-finished fiber cement, and full lakefront re-flashing and re-wrap restoration.
Our certification stack is the strongest available: GAF Master Elite (top 2% of US roofers, with full Designer shingle line authorization), James Hardie Elite Preferred (top siding tier, including ColorPlus), Andersen Certified Contractor (including Architectural Collection), Trex Pro. Additional installer training for DaVinci synthetic slate, EDCO standing-seam steel, and copper standing-seam through specialty distribution.
Lakefront restoration on Woodland properties is its own discipline. Standard install spec: 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 (no flashing reuse, no underlayment top-off), fastener replacement on all flashing terminations, and upgraded ridge venting calibrated to the home's actual attic geometry. Patch-style repairs on Lake Minnetonka frontage fail within two storm seasons — full re-wrap lasts the life of the system.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are our default recommendation for Woodland — GAF Timberline AS II or Owens Corning Duration Storm. The UL 2218 impact rating qualifies for an insurance premium discount with most Minnesota carriers, and given Woodland's storm exposure profile, the discount typically pays back the upgrade cost within 5–7 years while also reducing long-term claim friction.
Our claim documentation process: drone aerial inspection, ground-level core samples, attic ventilation and ice dam assessment, tree-strike impact analysis (relevant for Woodland's mature canopies), 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-service scope: roofing (every material), James Hardie ColorPlus and LP SmartSide siding, cedar siding restoration, Andersen windows including Architectural Collection, K-style, half-round, and copper gutters, Trex/AZEK composite decking. Architectural review and city permitting handled in-house by our project management team.
Every Woodland installation crew is an in-house team — senior project managers walk every job from first inspection through final warranty handoff. We do not subcontract production. Woodland projects start with a free on-site consultation; call (612) 750-6051 or request online.
