We shopped for windows for about 5 months after the home improvement show. We also had a contractor bid for us who we had done business with previously. First of all, the other contractors were all over the board in terms of what they recommended and pricing. After spinning our wheels for a few months, we got a quote from Derrick at MEI. We are in the midst of a full house remodel and got delayed ordering our windows. Very understanding, kept in touch, finally we ordered and they told us it would be about 10 weeks, but it was actually 8. The installers were really first class. Joe and three younger guys came out (his son, nephew and another guy). We had 18 windows in by the end of the day. We have 50 year old red cedar siding and some of the boards break when you just look at them. Not one break or chip in the boards, no dust, no muss, no bother:. Not one chip or scratch in any of the Marvin Fibrex Windows. Great support staff in the office (we had Cindy). One and half days and all the windows were in and everything was perfect. Awesome people!

Scheduled an appointment with Minnesota Exteriors for window estimates. Called to cancel and reschedule appointment from August 21st to the 9th. John G. Came on the 9th took measurements. Told him what product I wanted the estimate on. He gave me a book and told me I could see the project in their showroom. Asked when I should have the estimate and was told Friday. Called and left a message the week following when I received no response and to this date have not received a call back. Yesterday, I received an Email regarding my appointment reminder today, the 21st of August. Minnesota Exteriors missed this opportunity! Sought window estimates from other companies and not one of them had any problem with providing an estimate before they left. I will not seek estimates from Minnesota Exteriors in the future for any projects and will share my experience with others.

I’ll start by saying that it is always scary to choose products for your home and companies to do work on your home. I am writing to help you make that decision! After obtaining several estimates for replacing windows in the condominium building I live in, it became very apparent that all 12 condo owners in my building liked what Minnesota Exteriors, Inc. (MEI) had to offer! We had a unanimous vote from the owners to use this company! It was a total pleasure working with our Salesperson, Brian Carlson, who was able to beat the competition and offer us great pricing on some great windows. The installation teams they send out are very fast and very good. They take care of you and you get what you want in no time! If anyone ever asks me where to buy windows, I will always and forever recommend MEI!!!

UPDATE: We just had our inspection and the inspector commented on how well the windows were installed and sealed and finished from the outside. He said it looked like they had always been there. Derrick was great at our initial consultation and provided us the price without having to play the "call my manager" games. Cindy was great at communication while we waited for the order to arrive and setting up final steps. We had a large window job (25+ windows) and the windows look and work great!! The crew that installed the windows cleaned up after themselves each day and were easy to work with. They went above and beyond on some surprises they found along the way and completed our job in 3 days!! I have already referred one friend to MEI and would not hesitate to refer again.

I was very happy with MEI from start to finish. The salesman the provided the quote did a great job of explaining what was included, and what was needed for my job. Then, the installation crew was nothing short of amazing. They were in close communication with me throughout the job. They even went above and beyond, in my opinion, with regard to the work done. The materials, which I chose the LP Smartside, were beautiful! The color was exactly what I was expecting. The quality was great. Then the follow up, to make sure I didn’t have questions or problems was very professional too. It is without a doubt, that if I need any other work on my exterior - MEI will get the call! Thanks to everyone there for the great experience!

We had someone from MEI come out to do a estimate and they were very rude and arrogant. We have storm damage and are trying to get some bids to do new siding and stone on our house. We have had 3 people come out so far and the bid from MEI was THOUSANDS more than comparable bids. We were just shocked and felt like we were being taken advantage of, especially because we mentioned that the insurance adjuster was already out and we have a check waiting to get work started. The most humorous part about this was they came out 3 years ago to do an estimate for a much larger project and that bid was less than the one this week for much less work. I would definitely not recommend using them.

We just recently used MEI for our roofing and siding. I was completly amazed with how quickly everything was done and how great it looked. The roof was done in a day and the siding was done quick as well. The installers were super friendly and went out of their way to make sure things were done to our satisfaction. I dealt with Barbara in customer service and she was amazing as well. She responded very quickly to any and all of my crazy emails! The whole process went smoothly and the workers went the extra mile to fix the damaged plywood under the old siding. I would highly recommend them for any home remodeling or repairs. Thanks MEI!

RIGHT FROM THE START, BANDON COLLINS, SALES REP FOR MEI, WAS AT OUR SERVICE. MEANING MY WIFE AND I WERE PUT IN AN UNUSUAL SITUATION THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO PUT OUR HOUSE UP FOR SALE AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW A HAIL STORM ROLLS THROUGH AND CAUSES DAMAGE TO OUR HOUSE. BRANDON IMMEDIATELY GOT THE BALL ROLLING TO MEET WITH OUR INSURANCE AGENT AT OUR HOUSE TO FULFILL OUR NEEDS FOR ALL DAMAGE TO BE REPAIRED. WHEN THE WORK WAS STARTED, BRANDON WAS VERY RESPONSIVE OF ANSWERING MY CALLS OR EMAILS FOR ANY QUESTIONS WE HAD. AS WORKED PROGRESS THE CREWS VERY CLEAN AND PROMPT TO COMPLETING ALL WORK IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANKS MEI, A JOB WELL DONE.

The staff of Minnesota Exteriors was great to work with. Brandon was so very helpful assisting us with the insurance adjuster, offering advice for shingle selection and color scheme for the siding. The roofing crew, the siding crew and their supervisors was always available to answer our questions or give advice. The young man who installed our gutters was so very nice and so easy to talk to. I would strongly recommend MEI. Loved that they are locally owned and want to make sure that as a customer all our needs were addressed and taken care of. Thank you to everyone who helped.

I used MEI many years ago for windows and siding replacement on my previous home so this time there was no hesitation to use them again in my new home. I had 6 windows and 1 sliding door replaced and I am very pleased. I had already done my homework and chose Hayfield windows. My home is stucco with brick mold around the windows which made the measurements very important. All windows and slider were a perfect fit - Inside and out! This is a multiple year project due to the amount of windows I need to replace but having the previous positive experiences I did, I will continue to use MEI in the future.

We had a great experience with Derek from Minnesota Exteriors. We were in dire need to replace our 60 year old windows. Derek made the process easy and enjoyable by showing us all the options within our budget and made us feel comfortable that we were getting the best for our money. The installation process was a breeze, they installed the windows within hours and had our exterior doors installed the next day. They even arranged for someone to paint the trim to match the door, how convenient! When we need windows and doors in our next home, we will be placing a call to Minnesota Exteriors first.

My wife and I contracted with MEI last year for siding and gutters. The had very poor communication throughout the process. Ultimately, the siding was done to our satisfaction, but the gutters were not. Several of the down spouts were bolted and several were not (the un-bolted ones fall off every time it rains). Also, two of the down spouts are angled directly towards our house and foundation instead of into the rest of the gutter system; the result is rain water channeled towards our house instead of away from it. I would never work with MEI again, and would not recommend them to anyone.

I recently had a new set of windows installed by MEI. I did A LOT of looking around and getting quotes from other companies. First of all, MEI was the only company to call back in a timely manner. Secondly, MEI has great customer service and didn’t try to push certain products on us. Third, after the installers came and left, you would have never known anyone was in or out of our house. Fast and efficient installation, and excellent cleanup. So far, ZERO complaints or problems to report on the windows. I will defiantly be using this company again for future exterior needs on our house.

I am thoroughly happy with the work that MN Exteriors did for me. I had contacted two other companies about my siding and was put off by their aggressive approach. The MEI salesperson was not only courteous, helpful and not the hard-sell type, he was the only one who pointed out I had hail damage. He put extra effort into making me happy. I had siding, roofing, new windows and a storm door put in. The work done in a timely manner, they cleaned up after themselves and they did a professional job. I now have a beautiful home that looks new! I would recommend MEI with no reservations.

MEI installed new windows, vinyl siding, gutters, and an entry deck on our home. We were attracted to their lifetime installation warranty, since most other contractors offer 10 years. All employees were very patient, responsive, and professional. The quotes were competitive with many others. The sales consultant (Doug) was helpful and thorough. The window installers and deck builders did quality work. The siding crew made sure the details were to our liking and got the job done quickly. It looks like a new house and we are very happy with our choice in a contractor.

The salesman was awesome at showing me different products and the pros and cons to each. Questions were answered very quickly. Everything was going better than expected...until I gave the deposit and signed the agreement. After that, it was hard to get heads or tails from the salesman. I still dont have the answers to questions I asked a month ago! I wish I knew that things would change as soon as they got the job!! As far as the project itself, the house looks awesome(with the exception of one window that they FORGOT to order). It looks like a new house.

Right from the beginning Derrick was AWESOME! He stayed till 7pm so that my wife and I could pick out what we wanted put on our home. He also had great insight from personal experience to what would work best for our home and budget. The customer service was spot on too, keeping me well informed as to what was going on with our project. The crew worked hard and completed the project in 2.5 days!!! No mess, no fuss, problems. Our house looks SPECTACULAR. I was proud to have their sign in my yard and have no problem referring them to you!

Very pleased with the work MEI performed for my house. I had the roof, siding, windows, and patio doors all replaced by MEI. I had several companies come out to bid on the project. I frankly told everyone everyone the same thing, and Dan came out on top. Dan had understood me best and offered the most competitive bid to earn my business. Some of the other companies were $10-20k more. If you have a window project ask for Tim and his brother for the job. Great group of guys to have a fun time and get the work done right. Thank you

I recently called Minnesota Exteriors when I wanted to replace some of my windows and a sliding glass door. The salesman came out and gave me a quote. He was not pushy at all and took his time explaining everything to me. When the installer came out and put in the new windows and door, he was very neat and completely cleaned up after the work was done. I would recommend Minnesota Exteriors to my friends or family and would definitely use them again for any repairs I may have in the future.
