What a Real Estimate Should Include
If a contractor can’t explain these items clearly, the estimate isn’t complete. Here’s the full list of what every proposal from Exteriors Plus covers:
Square Footage
Total square footage of the affected area — measured, not estimated from memory.
Existing Layers
Number of existing material layers — critical for tear-off scope and cost.
Slope & Pitch
Slope and pitch assessment — affects labor time and safety requirements.
Ice & Water Shield
Underlayment type and ice & water shield specs — critical in Minnesota winters.
Ventilation Plan
Roof AND attic ventilation — the most overlooked factor in long-term roof life.
Flashing & Decking
Flashing condition, upgrade needs, and a full decking inspection before work begins.
Materials & Warranty
Material brand, grade, and manufacturer warranty — so you know exactly what’s going on your home.
Tear-Off & Disposal
Full tear-off and disposal costs itemized — no hidden fees on the back end.
Labor & Code Compliance
Labor breakdown by trade, workmanship warranty terms, and local code compliance requirements.
What Really Affects Exterior Pricing in Minnesota
Minnesota’s climate doesn’t play around. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, hail, wind — your home works hard all year. Here’s what actually moves the needle on cost:
Project Size
More square footage = more material and more labor. Simple.
Roof Pitch / Steepness
Steeper slopes are slower, more technical, and require more safety equipment.
Project Complexity
Valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys, corners, multiple stories — each adds time and precision.
Tear-Off vs. Overlay
A full tear-off costs more upfront but is almost always the right call for long-term performance.
Material Choice
Standard architectural shingles vs. impact-resistant vs. synthetic slate vs. steel — the gap in cost and lifespan is significant.
Ventilation
Proper attic airflow extends roof life by years. Skipping it costs you more in the long run.
Decking Condition
Hidden rot or soft spots get discovered during tear-off. A good contractor flags it honestly; a bad one buries it.
Service Type
Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and decks all carry different labor and material profiles. Full exterior jobs get reviewed holistically.
Storm Damage Context
Hail-damaged materials need specific documentation for insurance claims. We handle that process with you.
