Planning an exterior renovation is exciting—it’s a chance to transform your home’s curb appeal, boost property value, and improve protection from the elements. But before the work begins, there are a few key things every homeowner should know to ensure the project runs smoothly and delivers the results you’re dreaming of.
At Precise Exteriors, we believe in setting our clients up for success. Here’s what to keep in mind before starting your next exterior remodel:
Start with a clear understanding of what you want to change and why. Are you focused on increasing energy efficiency, updating outdated materials, or preparing your home for sale? Your goals will guide your decisions—and help you build a realistic budget.
Pro Tip: Always include a cushion of 10–15% in your budget for unexpected expenses.
Not all exterior surfaces are created equal. The condition of your current siding, roof, or gutters can affect the scope of your renovation. An experienced contractor should inspect for any underlying issues like moisture damage, rot, or pest activity before work begins.
At Precise Exteriors, we provide detailed assessments so there are no surprises mid-project.
From vinyl and fiber cement siding to asphalt shingles and metal roofing, today’s exterior materials offer a range of benefits. Choosing the right option depends on your style, climate, and maintenance preferences.
We’ll help you compare material options so you can find the best fit for your home and budget.
Before starting any exterior work, check with your local municipality or homeowners' association. Permits may be required, and certain design changes might need approval—especially if you live in a historic district or neighborhood with strict aesthetic standards.
Precise Exteriors can assist with permit applications and ensure your project complies with local rules.
The success of your exterior renovation depends heavily on the contractor you hire. Look for a licensed, insured company with a strong reputation, clear communication, and a portfolio of completed work.
As a family-owned business, Precise Exteriors is proud to offer transparent pricing, honest recommendations, and expert craftsmanship backed by years of experience.
Minnesota’s weather plays a big role in scheduling exterior renovations. Certain times of year are better for roofing, siding, and painting than others. Make sure you and your contractor are aligned on the project timeline and potential delays.
We schedule renovations with weather in mind—so your project stays on track and on budget.
Whether you’re replacing siding, updating your roof, or giving your entire exterior a facelift, Precise Exteriors is here to guide you every step of the way. We’ll make sure your renovation is smooth, stress-free, and built to last.
