About Twin Cities Exteriors

Elk River's Go-To Contractor For All Things Home Improvement

Twin Cities Exteriors started in 2015 with a straightforward premise. Most exterior contractors specialize in one trade, which means a homeowner replacing a roof, updating their siding, and adding windows ends up coordinating three separate companies, three separate schedules, and three separate sets of people who've never seen each other's work. Colin Beckman built Twin Cities Exteriors to handle all of it under one crew, because a roofline that connects to siding that connects to windows is one system, and it makes more sense for one company to understand the whole thing than for each trade to work in isolation.

Eleven years later, that's still how the company operates. Colin leads a small, tight crew that covers roofing, siding, windows, gutters, decks, and additions across Elk River and the surrounding Twin Cities metro. Every project stays with the same people from the first inspection through the final walkthrough, which means there's no handoff point where something gets missed and no referral chain when a question comes up after the job is done. The goal Colin built this company around hasn't changed: give homeowners what their home actually needs, explained clearly, and done right the first time.

We've perfected the roofing process

Step 1: Assessment

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.

Step 2: Proposal & PLanning

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.

Step 3: Installation

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.

Step 4: Final Walk-through

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.

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

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.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Elk River, MN?

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.

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Minnesota?

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.
