  • When and why would I need a Lead-Safe Certified Contractor?

    Since April 22, 2010, contractors working in homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 must be certified and employ lead-safe practices during renovations. Lead can be particularly harmful to children's health as it mimics essential nutrients needed for growth. It's vital to hire a Lead Certified Contractor to protect your family's safety. Viking Exteriors has been engaged in lead reduction work since 1998 and is an EPA Lead-safe certified firm (NAT-31179-4).

  • Why should I put new siding on my house?

    It will save you time and money because you won't need to paint your house again. New insulated sidings, foam core underlayments and the wind and water infiltration barriers save you both heating and cooling costs.

  • What if I get a much lower price from another contractor?

    If a contractor is offering less for your project, that can be very enticing. But sometimes that can be a warning sign as to the quality of craftsmanship being offered or the inferior products being used. We suggest you research your roof repair contractor through resources like the Better Business Bureau for the company's standing, or the MN Department of Commerce, to make sure your contractor is licensed with the state. A contractor that doesn't install properly or with quality products can end up costing you thousands of dollars more in repairs.
