Coon Rapids, Minnesota
Insured Steel Siding Replacement in Coon Rapids, MN
Hail piled up two feet deep at some intersections in Coon Rapids on June 11, 2017, deep enough that the city sent a snowplow through. City permits went from under a thousand a month to nearly 2,500 that August. Most of the siding we replace here is still the panel that storm found, or the quick match repair that went on after it.

The 2017 storm settled the steel question
Pull a panel off a 1960s rambler on the older side of Coon Rapids and you often find two generations of siding, the original and a patch job from a claim. After June 11, 2017, a lot of walls got a partial repair and a color that never matched, because the run had been discontinued. Steel changes that argument. It dents where vinyl punches through or cracks, and a dent on a flat wall reads differently to an adjuster than a hole. Split levels here are the fussy part: the offset walls, the low gable over the entry, and the band where the upper wall meets the lower roof all need flashing done right, or water finds the seam. The estimate follows wall area, corners, and how much soft sheathing shows up. If you would rather stay with vinyl siding replacement, we install that too and will tell you where it makes sense.
Steel Siding Replacement in Coon Rapids
What a full steel replacement ends here
Dents instead of punched holes
Hail that size goes through vinyl and leaves ragged holes that let water at the sheathing. Steel takes the same strike as a dent, and a dent does not open the wall up.
An end to mismatched patches
Half the walls we look at here carry a repair from an old claim in a color that was already discontinued. Replacing a whole elevation in one run puts the house back to one color.
Damage an adjuster can read
Steel shows impact plainly, in a pattern across one elevation rather than hairline cracks you have to hunt for. That makes the next storm claim a conversation about facts on the wall.
Long rambler walls back to straight
Sixties and seventies ramblers here have one long back wall that shows every wave in it. We shim what needs shimming before panel goes up, so the finished run reads flat from the yard.
The split level band done right
Where the upper wall meets the lower roof on a split level, siding, flashing and roof edge all land within a few inches of each other. Get that lap wrong and water runs inside the wall.
Wet sheathing found, not covered
We pull the bottom courses before we write anything up. On these older homes there is often soft sheathing near grade that the last repair simply hid behind a new panel.
Why Coon Rapids homeowners call us back
Five stars from 217 reviews
Our Google rating sits at 5.0 across 217 reviews. Storm work draws crews that leave town after the season, and that record is the difference between us and them.
We meet your adjuster at the wall
Storm and insurance work is a regular part of what we do. We would rather be standing at the elevation with the adjuster than trading photographs about it a week later.
Honest about the schedule
After a big hail day, everyone in this city calls at once. We will tell you where you sit on the list instead of promising a date we cannot hold.
We say when a patch is enough
Not every dinged wall needs full replacement. If the damage is on one elevation and the color is still made, we will quote the repair and leave the rest of the house alone.
Family run and faith based
The name on the estimate answers for the work. That is worth knowing in a market where one hailstorm brings in outfits nobody here has ever heard of.

Common questions after the hail
What people in Coon Rapids ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Is siding from the 2017 Coon Rapids hailstorm still worth replacing now?
If it was patched rather than replaced, usually yes. Hail that piled two feet deep at intersections did not leave much untouched, and the repairs written that August were often partial. Cracked vinyl keeps opening up with every freeze, and the sheathing behind it gets a little wetter each season. We can tell you which walls are still sound.
Can you replace just the side of the house that got hit?
Yes, and sometimes that is the right answer. The catch is matching. Panels made a decade ago are frequently out of production, so a repair reads as a repair from the street. Steel on a single elevation is possible, though most people who go that route end up wanting the rest of the house to follow.
My last hail claim only paid for a patch. What happens with a new storm?
A new storm is a new claim, and it is judged on the damage that storm caused. Your carrier will look at what was paid before and whether the earlier repair was actually completed. Deductibles apply again. The useful thing is a record of the wall before the storm, which is one reason we photograph every elevation on an estimate.
