Mei Minnesota Exteriors INC

Part 1: The installers were nice, but there were many problems with their product, pre-installation information and post-installation care, and the salesman’s patronising and dismissive response to my wife when she called and complained. Let’s start with the product - and there are several concerns: To start, a couple of windows have mismatched sides - the lines do not match up. It is NOT an optical illusion. The measurements of each side are different (see photos). Next, one of the windows has a piece of insulation that is already coming out (again, see photos). Next, and this may be better placed in the “post-installation” complaints, is the fact that there a plastic film and smudges on several of the windows, including those that require ladders on the outside to reach, clean, and scrape. On asking, we were told they do not clean the windows, and a supervisor added “we are not Merry Maids” (regarding cleaning the windows and cleaning the black smudges left on our walls and extensive dust left on our belongings. More on that later, but for sake of completeness, the black smudges were eventually cleaned). I hope to continue in Part 2… more

Very competitive pricing and great selection of product I had both siding and stone work done on my 1960's rambler and they did a great job in giving it a fresh new updated look that is the envy of the neighborhood. The computer rendering provided by MEI was spot on, and that along with the samples provided gave me a great sense of what the finished house would look like. Communication during some parts of the process could have been better, and some attention to detail of my crew at least could have been better, but in the end everything turned out great. I would recommend them and put their work versus any others. Very satisfied customer! more

I recently contracted with MEI Exteriors to replace my roof, siding, painting of the fence, and building of a new roof for our porch. MEI was very professional, working with us at every stage of the insurance claims process, as well as providing us with a great value on additional work we bid out to them on the porch. The sales team was not pushy and the contract process was very personal and made me feel like we were doing business with the individuals at MEI vs. a large corporation. When it came time for the talk to become walk in the form of the work, we were also pleased with the results. The team worked with little breaks and got right to doing their jobs which was from sun up to sun down. After each night they carefully wrapped our home to protect the outside which was very beneficial because we had record rain fall during our project. The final results are a high quality roof and siding that covers our home and the new three season porch we added during this project. I recommend MEI to anyone that is looking for a great value that is not compromised in any way from start to finish. more

We recently replaced our siding with MN Exteriors, and we had a great experience from start to finish! From our initial contact with the salesman to the installation of our siding, all of our interactions with MEI were pleasant and professional. The prices were good, and MEI was able to match our existing siding exactly. MEI was very accommodating to our schedule, and each stage of the project was completed as promised. The installation crew was excellent - prompt, hard-working, friendly, courteous, and highly skilled at their jobs. We would highly recommend MEI for your next siding project!! more

In December of 2013, I had Minnesota Exteriors replace all nine of my home's windows with vinyl Lindsay windows. My salesman was very friendly and helpful in deciding the best windows for me. I'm a young, single, new home owner with no window experience and he walked me through everything. The installers were clean, respectful, and professional. They put blankets down and took shoes off when inside. They cleaned up after themselves both inside and out, vacuuming wood shavings due to cutting out the old windows and picked up and hauled away all pieces of the old windows. On the windy, -20 deg F days in Dec. I tested for any airflow and couldn't feel a thing. All-in-all, my Minnesota Exteriors' window replacement was a positive experience. I was happy with costs, considering they handled everything from beginning to end. Everything was very convenient, done on time, and done well. If you're looking to replace windows, I recommend MN Exteriors. more
