Monticello, Minnesota
Licensed Vinyl Siding Replacement in Monticello, MN
Most of the vinyl we tear off in Monticello went up with the subdivisions between 1990 and 2010, thin builder panel with a lot of Minnesota winters behind it. Then came the hail on July 14, 2024. Cracked courses on the west and north walls are the usual reason a homeowner here finally calls about replacement instead of another patch.

The sheathing tells more than the siding did
Take the old panel off a Monticello two story from the subdivision years and the sheathing tells you more than the siding did. Housewrap stapled loose, no tape at the seams, no flashing over the window heads: standard for the era, and it works until wind driven water finds a gap. The hail that measured three and a half inches here on July 14, 2024 cracked panel that was already brittle, and a cracked panel lets water in behind. We pull everything down to the sheathing, replace what is soft, wrap and tape the walls, and flash the openings before the first course goes on. What drives the quote is wall area, gable count, and how much trim and accessory work rides along. If your walls are lap board rather than panel, look at LP siding replacement instead, since the two jobs are not detailed or quoted the same way.
Vinyl Siding Replacement in Monticello
What the hail left, and what we fix
Panels rated for hail country
After July 14, 2024, impact rated panel is worth pricing here. It is thicker, it takes a strike without splitting, and it holds color longer on the walls the sun hits.
Damage documented wall by wall
Hail damage on vinyl reads as cracks and chips, not dents, and it is easy to miss from the driveway. We photograph each elevation and write down what we find before anything comes off.
Vent hoods and mounting blocks
The hail that cracks panel also splits vent hoods, light blocks and the dryer hood. Replacing them while the wall is open means the whole elevation is finished in one pass instead of being opened again next spring.
Older Broadway walls, different plan
The 1800s houses along Broadway carry painted wood over board sheathing. Those walls need furring, a real water barrier and narrower trim before vinyl goes on, or the finished job looks wrong.
Color that holds on sun walls
Twenty year old builder vinyl fades unevenly, and the south and west elevations always go first. Current panel holds pigment far better, so the house does not read two colors from the curb.
Wavy sheathing flattened first
Subdivision framing from those years often left dished or bowed sheathing that new panel telegraphs straight back at you. Furring or a foam backer gets the wall flat before the first course.
How we run a siding job here
We handle the storm claim paperwork
We do storm and insurance work, so we document the hail damage, meet the adjuster at the house and go through each elevation with them. You are not translating siding language on your own.
Permits pulled through city hall
The 2004 annexation agreement means formerly township parcels now permit through the city. We sort out which office your address answers to before the crew shows up.
We put the schedule in writing
After a hail season the calendar fills. We tell you when your job starts and what it depends on, rather than leaving you guessing which week the crew shows up.
Someone answers at any hour
We are open twenty four hours, seven days. After a storm night like July 14, that matters more than anything else we could tell you about scheduling.
We will tell you to wait
If only one elevation is damaged and the color is still available, we will say so. Replacing four walls when one needs attention is not something we push.

Hail, permits and paperwork in Monticello
What people in Monticello ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Will insurance pay for hail damaged vinyl siding in Monticello?
It depends on your policy and on what the adjuster finds. Hail damage to vinyl shows up as cracks, splits and chipped corners rather than dents, and it often sits on the elevations that faced the storm. We document every wall, meet the adjuster there, and let the two records be compared. We cannot promise a decision that is not ours to make.
Can you replace just the one wall the hail cracked?
Sometimes. If the house is newer, the profile is current and the color is still made, a single elevation can work. On siding from the subdivision years it usually does not, because the panel has faded and the profile has been discontinued, and the repaired wall announces itself. We will show you both walls before you decide.
My house used to be in Monticello Township. Where does the permit come from?
City hall. The annexation agreement signed in 2004 brought township parcels into the city over about twenty years, so addresses that once answered to the township now permit through Monticello. We check the parcel before we order material, since finding out mid job is how a siding project stalls for a week.
