Exterior Remodeling in Historic Excelsior, MN

Picture of Port of Excelsior sign in downtown Excelsior, MN

Excelsior has spent more than 150 years guarding its identity. Founded in 1853 and once a streetcar-and-steamboat resort town for Minneapolis vacationers, its Water Street commercial district still sits on the National Register of Historic Places, and the residential streets around it are full of Victorian and Queen Anne houses the city takes seriously enough to enforce strict building codes protecting their look. That history is part of what makes Excelsior special, but it also means exterior work here has to be done with real care, whether the goal is preserving a Victorian's original character or updating a newer lakeside home nearby. Midwest Construction & Remodeling brings that care to every Excelsior project, with full roof, siding, window, and deck replacements handled by a team that understands what makes this town different.

Exterior Services Suited to Excelsior's Homes

From a Water Street-adjacent Victorian to a newer build near the Commons, Excelsior's homes call for materials and detailing to match. We do full replacements only, chosen with the home's character in mind:

Roofing — a full roof replacement in Owens Corning shingles, with color and profile options that work as well on a Victorian roofline as a contemporary build.

Siding — siding in James Hardie fiber cement or Exterior Portfolio vinyl, installed with the trim details and proportions that keep a historic home looking the part.

Decks — a custom TimberTech composite deck, built low-maintenance for lakeside living on Excelsior's often-compact village lots.

Windows — energy-efficient ProVia windows available in styles that suit older homes without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.

We also add seamless gutters to roofing and siding projects, an important detail on Excelsior's older homes where original drainage often needs an upgrade.

It can. Properties within the historic district or with local heritage designation may require review before certain exterior changes, particularly anything visible from the street. We'll help you understand what applies to your home and prepare anything the city needs before work begins.

Yes, that's a big part of what we do in Excelsior. We choose shingle profiles, siding details, and trim work that respect a home's original era, so the result looks like a well-kept version of the house rather than a mismatched update.

Both. Excelsior has a real mix, from Victorian-era houses to newer lakeside builds, and we're equally comfortable with either.
