Me and my husband worked with Bob and he was truly amazing and so helpful with all our questions.we're both super new to everything with just buying our first home last year to having to make a huge repair like the house roof and garage roof. The workers were super great and fast and did a good job overall with install and clean up. We're so thankful for MN Exteriors, thank you! and thank you to Bob for everything it's soo appreciated and we will definitely recommend you to our friends and family, you were so great!

The salesperson was friendly, patient and creative. He worked with me to achieve the look I wanted within my budget. The siding team was hard working, friendly and helpful. I am a detail oriented person and they were great to work with right to the end to get the curb appeal I envisioned.

Part 1: The installers were nice, but there were many problems with their product, pre-installation information and post-installation care, and the salesman's patronising and dismissive response to my wife when she called and complained. Let's start with the product - and there are several concerns: To start, a couple of windows have mismatched sides - the lines do not match up.

It is NOT an optical illusion. The measurements of each side are different (see photos). Next, one of the windows has a piece of insulation that is already coming out (again, see photos). Next, and this may be better placed in the "post-installation" complaints, is the fact that there a plastic film and smudges on several of the windows, including those that require ladders on the outside to reach, clean, and scrape.

On asking, we were told they do not clean the windows, and a supervisor added "we are not Merry Maids" (regarding cleaning the windows and cleaning the black smudges left on our walls and extensive dust left on our belongings. More on that later, but for sake of completeness, the black smudges were eventually cleaned). I hope to continue in Part 2.

MEI was wonderful to work with in our residing project. Our days of painting the house are behind us! Their saleperson, Troy, was super informative and always on our side, answering questions quickly and keeping us updated regarding schedules/next steps. Our house was transformed from a dingy beige with 50 year-old masonite siding to one with Summit Blue LP siding with white trim.

The installers were efficient and very experienced. They also worked with us to sort through minor decisions in the installation. In the end, we were pleased with the work MEI did for us and look forward maintenance-free ownership. I've included a photo showing the project in the final stage.

MEI was amazing! Siding, doors, and windows were all replaced. We interviewed NINE companies in depth before choosing, and our sales person Troy won us over! Great pricing, fantastic service, professional crew, good communication! The results were amazing - our house has never looked this good. We would recommend MEI to anyone and everyone!

We have used MEI three seperate times. First time was for four windows in two of our upper level bedrooms. When we decided to replace our lower level windows, who did we call? MEI of course, Our house is split entry so our basement windows are half in and half out. We had them replace all eight lower level windows. We have a bay window in our living room with four casements with two facing forward and the other two angled.

The two front facing windows had rotted. So of course we called MEI for their Wellington brand windows. We love the quality and looks of their windows. Their sales people and installation people are great to work with. During install, they make a minimum mess and when they leave, the only way hat you can tell they were here is by the great looking windows When our porch windows go, you know who we will contact. Troy Dvergsten was our last sales contact. Very easy doing business with him. Thank you again for what you have done for us.

After a frustrating experience with another company, we contacted Minnesota Exteriors for a quote --first for new siding and a second, on a replacement roof. Troy D. has been super responsive. We had our quotes on the same day as our meetings. Any messages I've left with questions have been responded to quickly and completely. I'm very happy we got in touch.

Just wanted to jump on here and say how fantastic MEI is. I've used them twice now, once for windows and now gutters. Both times I worked with Troy, extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain the process. Especially with our windows, which he thoroughly explained the differences between one brand to the other we ended up with.

He stayed within our budget and never tried to push us past it. He is a credit to your company. Next, the crew that came out worked efficiently, was extremely friendly, put out some extremely quality finished product, and cleaned after themselves thoroughly. Overall, i won't use anyone else, and recommend them to everyone I know.

We are extremely happy with our new siding, soffits and fascia -it all looks beautiful! The crew was very friendly and their attention to detail was amazing. Bob on the sales team was always up for any questions we threw at him and we had many. We think everyone should have a "Bob" in their life and wish he worked for every trade we may need in the future. Greg, the project site supervisor, was very thorough and did a complete walk around the house going over all the details before the crew began. Minnesota Exteriors was also fast at addressing the final punch list to do's.

Many neighbors have gone out of their way to comment on how nice they think our house now looks. We are so pleased we are now embarking on phase 2 -new gutters and windows with Minnesota Exteriors. Highly recommend.

I just ordered replacement windows in my third home from Troy. I chose MEI because of Troy and his recommendations. He is honest and trustworthy. If there is something he likes OR doesn't like about a product he's going to tell you. His first goal is to get you set up with the best product that fits your budget, not just to sell windows and get on to the next customer!

I'm very pleased with the recent roof replacement Minnesota Exteriors performed on my home this summer. The process was great from start to finish. Their Sales, Dan showed up to walk my property and take a look at existing conditions. When the estimate was completed, he provided me a very thorough walk through of all the costs. Steve and his crew were amazing.

I couldn't believe how fast his crew was. The project was completed in 5 hours. The craftsmanship was very high level. I'm so happy I had Minnesota Exteriors replace my roof. I would highly recommend working with them.

This is our second time using MEI because we were very happy with our first experience. We had the pleasure of working with Troy D both times. He is knowledgeable, personable, prompt, and delivers great customer service. Service: Window repair

I purchased a home with Wellington Windows already installed. I was having issues with one of the windows and called Minnesota Exteriors. I found out that the windows I have are no longer made. Minnesota Exteriors was unable to help me, but Cher was very helpful in giving me some suggestions. I will keep Minnesota Exteriors in mind for when my next remodel project comes around.

Not satisfied with MEI at all. Lack of communication between us and with the workers. Several times did not return our calls. They installed four windows in June of 2020 the job was not completed until January of 2021. Used large finish nails on both window seat boards, which left a very unprofessional looking job. the Lindsay window factory guy came out and replaced the skin on both seat boards and looked very good. Our sales person has never called to see how the job was going or how the job ended.

MEI recently completed siding and window replacement. We couldn't be happier with the communication and responsiveness from start to finish, and the quality and professionalism seen throughout. Brandon Collins was able to work with us in the sales phase to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. He was responsive and attentive to our many questions and ideas and the end result was fantastic.

Once the project started, our Field Supervisor Steve Faber was out daily to check on progress and make sure we were happy with the work done. He was always quick to get us answers on any questions, and made sure that our satisfaction was the top priority of the project. Materials arrived the day before the project started and were picked up the day following completion.

The organization and coordination of everything was top notch. After the experience we had, we won't be looking anywhere else in the future if we need and exterior work done. In our experience, it's difficult to find contractors that are focused on client satisfaction, quality work, and efficiency, and open lines of communication in all phases of the project. MEI has checked all those boxes and more.

Just had MEI finish my storm damage project. Roof, siding, windows and gutters. I spoke with each of the contractors that performed the work. Extremely professional and high quality work & materials. Brandon Collins was the sales representative and walked me thru the insurance process and was more than excellent. This is a local company and I was impressed how each employee I dealt with was so helpful.

I have recommended MEI, which is family run to many friends and neighbors who have been very satisfied as well. I haven't ever written a review but wanted to take the time to share my experience with this company.
