  • 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?

    Installing new siding eliminates the need for future house painting, saving you time and money. Modern insulated sidings, foam core underlayments, and wind and water infiltration barriers can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs. This upgrade not only improves your home's energy efficiency by sealing air leaks in your walls but also enhances its aesthetic appeal. We encourage you to contact our siding contractor in St Paul for more information.
  • Why should I put new windows on my house?

    Replacing old windows can address issues of high maintenance costs and inefficient heating and cooling. Today's windows feature improved materials, engineering, and design, resulting in enhanced energy efficiency, durability, and style. Easy-to-clean tilt windowsashes simplify maintenance, while new windows and doors maintain their appearance and weather-tight seal for years. You may also be eligible for federal energy tax credits. For reliable window replacement services in St Paul, please contact us.
  • What if I get a much lower price from another contractor?

    While a lower price can be appealing, it may indicate compromised quality in craftsmanship or materials. We recommend researching potential contractors through resources like the Better Business Bureau or the MN Department of Commerce to verify their standing and current licensing. Opting for a contractor who uses subpar installation methods or inferior products could result in costly repairs down the line, potentially amounting to thousands of dollars.
