Exterior Remodeling for Tonka Bay's Lakeshore Homes



Aerial picture of Lake Minnetonka, Tonka Bay area

Tonka Bay sits on the narrow peninsula between Lake Minnetonka's upper and lower lake, and for a city just one square mile in size, it holds more shoreline than almost anywhere else on the lake. More than half of its roughly 650 homes sit directly on the water, in neighborhoods like Clay Cliffe and Gideon's Point that grew up on the grounds of old lakeshore estates. The city's history runs through the water too: the four-story Tonka Bay Hotel once drew vacationers here by the hundreds, and Tonka Bay Marina, built on that same site, is now the largest on the lake. With that much shoreline exposure, homes here see more sun, wind, and moisture than almost anywhere in the metro. Midwest Construction & Remodeling brings premium roof, siding, window, and deck replacements to Tonka Bay, built specifically for that kind of exposure.

Built for Tonka Bay's Waterfront Exposure

When most of a city's homes face open water, exteriors take more punishment than average, and we build every project here with that in mind. Full replacements only, chosen for lakefront durability:

  • Roofing — a full roof replacement in premium Owens Corning shingles, rated for the wind and hail exposure that comes with a peninsula setting between two open bodies of water.
  • Sidingsiding in James Hardie fiber cement or Exterior Portfolio vinyl, built to resist the sun glare and moisture that come off the lake day after day.
  • Decks — a custom TimberTech composite deck, designed for a shoreline lot and built low-maintenance so you spend more time on the water and less on upkeep.
  • Windows — energy-efficient ProVia windows that keep your lake views clear while cutting drafts in every season.

    We also add seamless gutters to roofing and siding projects, routing water carefully on Tonka Bay's sloped, close-to-shore lots.

    Local Craftsmanship for a Premier Lake Address

    Tonka Bay is one of the most sought-after addresses on Lake Minnetonka, and the homes here deserve exterior work that matches. We're a family-owned company that's built our reputation across the Lake Minnetonka area over more than a decade, working on everything from classic lakeshore properties to newer custom builds. Every project is a full replacement, never a patch, using materials proven in Minnesota's climate and backed by both the manufacturer's warranty and our own labor warranty. If you're ready to talk through your home, a free consultation is the place to start.

    What Tonka Bay Homeowners Ask Us



    In practice, yes. Homes with direct water exposure tend to take more wind and UV over time, so we lean toward our most durable product tiers and pay extra attention to flashing and sealing around roof and siding transitions where wind-driven rain is more of a factor.




    Materials carry their manufacturer warranties, and we add a 10-year labor warranty on roofing, siding, and window installs, plus a 5-year warranty on decks.



    Absolutely. We're used to sites where the lake side of the home is just as active as the street side, and we plan material staging and site access to stay out of the way of your dock, boats, and shoreline.



    We start with samples you can see in person at our showroom, then talk through what suits your home's architecture and the view from the water, since a lakefront home is seen from both sides.

    Carefully. Many Tonka Bay lots slope down toward the water, so we plan equipment placement and material staging around the terrain, and make sure drainage and gutters are routed to handle runoff on a slope rather than toward the home.


    Protect Your Place on the Water




    Your Tonka Bay home has one of the best settings on Lake Minnetonka, and it deserves an exterior built to match the exposure that comes with it. Request your exterior remodeling consultation and get a plan tailored to your home from the local team at Midwest Construction & Remodeling.

    This past Summer, we hired Midwest Construction to replace insulation, roof and shingles on our 4-Season Porch. They kept us well informed all along the way and they did an excellent job! They were very professional! Midwest pricing was reasonable. We would not hesitate to use Midwest Construction again on any projects that may come up in the future!

    There are many construction companies to chose from and why I picked Midwest Construction & Remodeling, was because of the No Pressure approach and Just a great company to work with. Clear communications on the timeline, products used (very well explained), and coordinated with the final inspections + working with our insurance company. My neighbor had used them for a project and was really happy with their work. I will use them again for future projects.
