When you're replacing siding on your Excelsior, MN property, the tear-off is where the project either earns its price or wastes it. Our demo crews work systematically, substrate findings are documented on the day they're found, and change orders are written before any additional work proceeds.
Our Excelsior, MN specialists bring manufacturer certification, real diagnostic tools, and written guarantees to every Siding Replacement project — not just availability and a truck.
Full strip of existing panels, nails, and trim. We sort recyclable material, haul debris off-site, and tarp exposed areas each evening before we leave.
Pin-type moisture meter testing on every exposed wall section before new material goes on. Sheathing readings are documented and shared with you on the day we run them.
Substrate damage found during demo is photographed, documented, and priced in a written change order. You approve or decline before we do anything additional — always.
License number provided at first contact. GL and workers' comp certificates available on request before any work begins.
Every service below is performed by trained specialists — not generalists covering a broad menu. Our Excelsior, MN team focuses on Siding Replacement specifically, and that focus shows in the results.
Complete strip of all existing panels, nails, furring strips, and trim. Work areas protected with staging tarps. Property swept for fasteners each evening before the crew leaves for the day.
Every wall section inspected once bare — pin-type moisture meter readings at a systematic grid, soft-spot probing, and visual inspection for framing moisture damage. All readings documented in your project file.
Old housewrap is replaced on every full replacement project regardless of apparent condition — original wrap is compromised at seams and penetrations and doesn't perform reliably once disturbed by the demo process.
Every rough opening is reflashed with self-adhering membrane tape before new cladding goes on. This is the most consequential detail in a replacement project and the most commonly skipped by contractors who are rushing the schedule.
Your chosen product — vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, steel, or composite — installed to manufacturer specification with correct overlap, fastener pattern, and expansion clearances at all terminations.
Corner posts, J-channel, fascia wrap, and soffit panels replaced as part of the replacement scope. All components carry the same warranty start date and the same installation standard as the wall panels.
A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Excelsior, MN Siding Replacement team.
We photograph and moisture-meter the existing exterior, document suspect areas, and take precise square footage measurements by elevation. The assessment feeds directly into your line-item estimate.
Crew strips all existing cladding, probes and meters exposed substrate, documents findings with photos, issues change orders for any repair scope, and completes substrate work before staging new material.
Housewrap goes on first, reflashing at all openings second, panels third, trim last. Each phase is inspected before moving to the next. No cladding goes on until the weather barrier is complete.
All debris removed, property swept for fasteners, final walkthrough by elevation with you. Permit records, manufacturer warranty registrations, and workmanship warranty document delivered before final payment.
The reflashing detail at our windows was something no other contractor mentioned. After the replacement, we haven't had a single moisture issue in two winters. That window detail was the fix we needed.
Three bids — one lump sum, one vague breakdown, one line-item detail from Forge Siding. The difference in specificity made the decision easy. Four pages of itemized components versus a single number I couldn't evaluate.
We'd been patching the same north wall section for six years. Forge Siding diagnosed the root cause — missed flashing on the original 1995 install. The replacement and correct flashing solved a problem five years of patches never touched.
Full replacement on a 2,400 sq ft two-story. Six working days, clean site daily, permit inspection passed first visit. Close-out documentation was comprehensive and organized.
