Residential Siding Installation
Professional siding installation focused on durability, water management, and long-term performance.
Trusted Residential Siding Contractor
Built for Durability. Installed the Right Way.
Skyline Roofing provides residential siding installation services throughout Southeast Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. We work with homeowners who want their siding installed correctly—not rushed, not oversold, and not treated as a cosmetic-only upgrade.
Siding plays a critical role in protecting your home. When it’s installed improperly, it can trap moisture, conceal rot, and lead to expensive structural problems years later. Our approach focuses on proper water management, correct flashing, and long-term performance so your exterior works as a complete system.
A Quality-Focused Approach to Siding Installation
Successful siding installation depends on more than the material alone. Long-term performance comes from proper installation methods, correct flashing, and thoughtful integration with the rest of the home’s exterior systems. Our approach to residential siding installation is built around understanding how moisture moves, how different materials work together, and how to protect the structure behind the siding.
We take care to detail transitions at windows and doors, integrate siding properly with roofing, soffit, and fascia systems, and select materials that perform well in Minnesota and Wisconsin freeze-thaw climates. Our focus is on installing siding the right way so it performs as intended over time—not simply completing the job as quickly as possible.
Siding Materials We Install
LP® SmartSide® Engineered Wood Siding
LP® SmartSide® engineered wood siding is our preferred option for most residential projects. It performs exceptionally well in Midwest climates and allows us to properly flash and detail the exterior. When installed correctly, LP SmartSide offers strong resistance to moisture, excellent durability, and a clean, consistent appearance that holds up over time.
Why we recommend LP SmartSide:
Strong resistance to moisture and impact
Excellent performance in extreme temperature swings
Clean, consistent appearance
Designed for long-term durability when installed correctly
We are experienced LP SmartSide installers and follow manufacturer best practices—not shortcuts.
What We Choose Not To Install
We are upfront about what we do and do not offer because it protects both the homeowner and the integrity of our work.
We do not install cosmetic-only siding systems, rely on caulk as a water barrier, or rush jobs simply to increase volume. Our pricing reflects the work required to install siding properly, not the fastest possible install time.
If you are looking for the lowest price or a quick visual upgrade without addressing underlying issues, we may not be the right fit. If you value durability, correct installation, and accountability, we are.
Siding Installation as Part of a Larger Exterior Project
Siding performs best when it is installed as part of a complete exterior system. Many siding projects are completed alongside roof replacement, window installation, or soffit and fascia work, which allows for proper integration at transitions and more effective water management.
When these systems are handled together, important details at roof-to-wall connections, window openings, and trim transitions can be addressed correctly the first time.
For this reason, siding is most often offered as part of a larger exterior project rather than as a standalone service, resulting in more consistent performance and fewer long-term issues.
Begin Your Siding Project in 3 Simple Steps
We make the siding process straightforward by focusing on planning, proper installation, and clear communication.
Exterior Evaluation
We start with an on-site evaluation of your existing siding and exterior systems. This includes reviewing material condition, moisture management, window and trim transitions, and how the siding integrates with roofing, soffit, and fascia.
Clear Scope & Planning
Based on what we find, we define a clear scope of work and explain the recommended approach. You’ll understand what’s being done, why it matters, and how the siding installation fits into the overall exterior system.
We Get To Work
Our experienced crews complete the siding installation using proven methods and proper detailing. Once the work is finished, we perform a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets expectations and no details are overlooked.

Siding Installation FAQs
What siding materials do you install?
We primarily install LP® SmartSide® and other durable residential siding systems that perform well in Minnesota and Wisconsin conditions. Material recommendations depend on your home’s layout, exposure, and budget.
Do you offer siding as a standalone service?
Sometimes, but most siding work is best completed as part of a larger exterior scope (roofing, soffit/fascia, windows) to reduce transition issues and improve long-term results.
Are you a local siding contractor?
Yes. We’re based in Lake City, MN and serve Southeast Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Most projects are within this region.
How do you prevent water intrusion behind siding?
We focus on correct flashing, WRB integration, and window/door transitions, plus detailing at corners and penetrations. Proper drainage paths and sequencing matter more than any single product.
Can you replace soffit and fascia during a siding project?
Yes. Siding often ties into soffit, fascia, and trim—and addressing these together helps the exterior system perform as intended.
Do you install vinyl siding?
If vinyl is the best fit for the project goals and budget, we can install it. We’ll still focus on correct detailing and water-management steps so the assembly performs better over time.
Can you do windows at the same time as siding?
Yes. Many homeowners combine siding and windows so everything ties together cleanly. We generally prefer new construction windows (not inserts) when windows are part of a broader exterior project.
How long does a typical siding project take?
Most projects are scheduled and completed based on scope, weather, and material lead times. After an on-site assessment, we provide a clear timeline range and keep communication tight as dates firm up.
Do you provide an estimate on-site?
Yes. We start with an evaluation, then build a written scope with material options. Final pricing depends on measured quantities, access, details, and any necessary repairs discovered during tear-off.
Do you handle rotten sheathing or framing if it’s found?
Yes. If we uncover rot or code-required corrections, we document it and address it. These items are typically handled as additional scope because they can’t be fully confirmed until materials are removed.
