Homeowners in the Twin Cities have settled for your typical home improvement experience for far too long. A salesperson comes out, takes your signature, and then hands the job off to a production crew you have never met. Now you have one hundred questions, and no one to answer them. After we went through a similar experience remodeling our kitchen, we decided to do something about it.
When you call Twin Cities Exteriors, rather than getting a pre-recorded voice, you are directed right to the owner. When someone walks your roof for the estimate, it's the owner. When the project starts, you guessed it, the owner is involved from the first morning through the final walkthrough. Colin Beckman started Twin Cities Exteriors with his wife Madison, in 2015 with a singular goal: To provide the NW Metro with home improvement services that make you feel heard.

Colin walks your property with you personally and inspects every layer of your exterior: the decking, the siding, the flashing at every intersection, and the overall surface condition. He is looking for what your home actually needs, and to better understand what you're looking to achieve. You get a clear, honest assessment before any paperwork is brought to the table.
You receive a written proposal that specifies materials by product name, describes the scope of work at every layer, and gives you a timeline you can plan around. No vague line items and no placeholder language. If there is something that could affect the price once work begins, it is disclosed before you sign.
Our professional crew arrives with a dumpster or trailer, begins with a full decking inspection before any new material goes down, and photographs the completed stages as they work. Magnetic nail sweeps run at the end of the day. For roof replacements, the job is completed same day so your home is never left exposed overnight.
Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with each homeowner so no question goes unanswered. You know what was done, what products were installed, and what your warranty covers. From that point forward, if anything comes up, you call the same number you called on day one.
We believe your home's exterior should perform as good as it looks. Functioning together as a beautifully-integrated system. This means your roof is much more than just shingles and plywood, and that a new addition has a deeper meaning than simply additional square footage. From looking to upgrade your old, faded vinyl siding, to expanding your summer grilling set-up with a brand new composite deck. Twin Cities Exteriors' 11 years of hands-on, industry specific experience, makes us the go-to provider for all things exteriors in the NW Metro.
The honest answer depends on the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, and whether the underlying decking has been compromised. A roof under fifteen years old with isolated storm damage is often a repair candidate. A roof approaching twenty years with granule loss, multiple leak points, or failing ventilation is almost always a replacement.
For a standard residential roof in the Elk River area, most homeowners should plan for a range that reflects the size of the home, the pitch of the roof, and the material selected. Architectural shingles on a typical northwest metro home generally fall in a range that accounts for full system installation including decking inspection, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, new flashings, and ridge ventilation.
Late spring through early fall is the ideal window in the northwest metro. Asphalt shingles require temperatures above forty degrees Fahrenheit for proper sealing, and as we all know, Minnesota winters often push temperatures well below that threshold for extended periods.
