MBE Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty: A 2026 Twin Cities Guide
When you invest in a new roof, siding, or windows, you're buying more than just materials—you're buying the quality of the installation. That’s why at Midwest Building Exteriors, our work is backed by our Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty. It's our simple, direct promise to you: we stand behind our installation for as long as you own your home. If something we installed was done incorrectly, we make it right.
What a 'Craftsmanship' Warranty Actually Covers
Our Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty covers the quality and correctness of our labor for the entire time you live in your home. This warranty applies to the installation itself, not the physical materials used. It means that if an issue arises because of how our team installed your residential siding or roof, we will correct the labor at no charge for the lifetime of that material's suggested lifespan.
As a family-owned, A+ Rated with the BBB contractor holding Minnesota Class A License #BC793031, we believe in accountability. This warranty is our commitment to the families we serve across the Twin Cities, from Minneapolis to Stillwater.
Craftsmanship vs. Material Warranties: What's the Difference?
Your exterior project is protected by two separate and important warranties: our craftsmanship warranty for labor and the manufacturer's warranty for the materials themselves. Think of them as two layers of protection that work together. We handle the expert installation, and respected brands provide the high-quality products.
- MBE's Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty: Covers the installation. If a piece of siding is improperly fastened by our crew and comes loose, our warranty covers the labor to fix it.
- Manufacturer's Material Warranty: Covers defects in the product itself. If a shingle is found to have a manufacturing flaw, that falls under the warranty provided by a brand like Owens Corning or CertainTeed.
We install trusted brands like James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and Andersen Windows, and we'll ensure you have the material warranty information for your specific products. Our job is to install them exactly to manufacturer specifications to ensure both warranties remain valid.
