The 6 Best Siding Contractors in Woodbury, MN
Same disclosure as our roofers list: we’re Owl Roofing and we put ourselves at the top. Here’s the difference — siding is one of our specialty areas. We’re certified with both LP SmartSide and James Hardie, we install vinyl when it makes sense, and we coordinate siding work with roof and window projects routinely. That said, you should still verify everything yourself before hiring anyone.
Here are six Woodbury-area siding contractors worth considering after the September 21, 2025 hail event — Owl plus five real Twin Cities companies you can compare.
How to evaluate a Woodbury siding contractor
- Material certifications. LP SmartSide Preferred installer, James Hardie Elite installer, Mastic vinyl certifications — these matter for warranty quality.
- Installation experience with the specific material. Hardie cuts require special tools; vinyl needs specific nailing patterns; LP needs certain prep.
- Trim quality. Trim is the visible frame of your house. PVC trim, miters, soffit/fascia work — these separate good installs from great ones.
- House wrap policy. Quality contractors replace the house wrap; budget contractors leave the old wrap in place.
- Coordination with windows and roof. Siding interacts with both; ask about coordination experience.
- Insurance and licensing per § 326B.805.
1. Owl Roofing
Yes, again. We do siding extensively in Woodbury — full replacements, post-storm matching jobs, coordinated roof+siding+windows projects. Quick rundown:
- LP SmartSide Preferred installer + James Hardie certified
- Vinyl installs when budget or aesthetic calls for it
- 350+ exterior projects since 2020 — lots of full-elevation siding replacements after Sept 21
- BBB A+ accredited, full liability + workers’ comp
- Family-owned, local — you meet Tim or Noah, not a salesperson
- Real reviews on our reviews page and Google
What we’d want you to verify: ask for samples installed on existing customer homes you can see in person; compare written estimates; check our license.
2. Krech Exteriors
Cottage Grove-based, well-established, experienced with Hardie installations and large project volumes. Strong in coordinated roof+siding+windows projects. Good fit if you want a larger contractor with more dedicated crew capacity.
3. Lindus Construction
Baldwin WI-based, services east Twin Cities including Woodbury. Strong reputation on Hardie installations and full-exterior remodels. Multi-generation family company.
4. Renewal by Andersen / James Hardie Direct
Manufacturer-direct installations are available through Andersen (windows) and James Hardie’s authorized installer programs. Quality is generally high but pricing tends to be premium and sales process is more aggressive than with independent contractors.
5. Storm Group Roofing
Multi-location Twin Cities operation that handles siding alongside roofing. Strong with insurance claim work. Volume operation; ask who specifically will be on your project.
6. All Around Construction
Smaller east-metro contractor with consistent reviews. Vinyl and LP SmartSide installations primarily. Worth considering for residential projects where you want a smaller, more attentive contractor.
“Owl Roofing did our siding replacement after the hail and the result is incredible. We compared three companies and they were the only ones to bring physical samples to put against our brick. Whole project came in on time and within estimate.”
— Brian Edge, Woodbury homeowner (Google review)
Common siding contractor red flags
- Door-to-door sales after a storm. Same red flag as roofing — see our storm chaser post.
- “We can match anything for less.” The matching statute applies to insurance scope, not to pricing arguments. Be skeptical.
- No physical samples shown. Real siding contractors bring sample panels and install them on the home temporarily.
- Subcontracted installs without disclosure. Some volume contractors subcontract every job; ask explicitly.
- “Lifetime” warranties without paperwork. Manufacturer warranties have specific terms; ask for the registration.
- Lowest bid by 25%+. Cuts somewhere — material grade, labor, trim work, or house wrap.
Materials each Woodbury contractor commonly installs
- LP SmartSide: Owl, Krech, Lindus, Storm Group, All Around — all install
- James Hardie: Owl (certified), Krech (certified), Lindus, Storm Group — multiple installers
- Mastic Vinyl: Most Twin Cities contractors install
- CertainTeed Vinyl: Many install
- Steel siding: Specialty; fewer contractors
- Stucco (synthetic): Specialty installers; not most general roofers
What to ask in your siding consultation
- “Are you LP SmartSide and/or James Hardie certified? At what tier?”
- “Will the installation be done by your in-house crew or subcontractors?”
- “Do you replace the house wrap as standard, or only on request?”
- “What trim package is included? PVC, painted wood, primed?”
- “How do you handle around windows, doors, and corners?”
- “What’s the workmanship warranty separate from the manufacturer warranty?”
- “Can I see a recent install (not just photos)?”
- “Do you handle the insurance claim coordination if applicable?”
“We had three siding bids and Owl was the only company that walked the entire perimeter, took color samples, and explained the matching statute. They handled the insurance scope and the install was clean.”
— Cara Brown, Woodbury homeowner (Google review)
Budget considerations
- Vinyl on a 2,200 sq ft two-story: $14,000-24,000 (most contractors)
- LP SmartSide on the same home: $20,000-34,000
- James Hardie on the same home: $24,000-42,000
- Steel siding on the same home: $24,000-40,000
Three competitive bids on the same scope should cluster within 15-20% of each other. If one bid is dramatically lower, ask why — they’re cutting somewhere.

What Woodbury homeowners say about Owl
★★★★★
“It wasn’t an easy process as my insurance company initially was only paying for a handful of shingles, but he eventually got them to pay for the whole roof.”
— BBB Verified Customer, via BBB
★★★★★
“Noah is the real deal. After our insurance denied our roof claim and the first roofer walked away, Noah showed up the next day and said he thought he could get us a new roof. He came through. I call him The Roof Whisperer.”
— Tyler Moberg, via Google
★★★★★
“Worked with Noah and it was a great experience. He was very responsive to any questions I had. Good team did a great job getting the roof replaced. For smaller things Noah went above and beyond.”
— John Wharton, via Google
