Exterior Remodeling in Golden Valley, MN
Personal Pride is based right here in Golden Valley. We handle siding, roofing, windows, and doors for our neighbours, exterior work built to protect a home and stand up to Minnesota's climate.
Golden Valley is our home city, our office is on Mendelssohn Avenue, and it’s also a city where exterior work is increasingly the job that needs doing. Golden Valley developed as a suburb after World War II, so a huge share of its housing went up between the 1940s and 70s. Those homes were built well, but siding, roofing, windows, and doors don’t last forever, and a lot of the city’s ramblers and split-levels are now reaching the age where the original materials, or even a 1990s replacement, are past their service life.
That’s the difference between a cosmetic update and real protection. On a 60- or 70-year-old Golden Valley home, new siding or windows aren’t just about looks, they’re what keeps water out and heat in through a Minnesota winter, and the failure points, worn flashing, dated glass, tired roofing, tend to be the ones you don’t see until there’s damage.
Personal Pride has handled exterior projects across the West Metro since 2002, from our base right here in Golden Valley. Being local means quick site visits and first-hand knowledge of these homes and the City of Golden Valley permit process. We coordinate siding, roofing, windows, and doors as one scope when a project calls for it. See finished work in our gallery, or everything we build across Golden Valley.
Service Details
Exterior remodeling covers four areas, and on Golden Valley’s mid-century homes, projects often combine two or more at once.
Siding is the largest and most common exterior project here. We install fiber cement, including James Hardie, along with engineered wood and vinyl, chosen for how it handles freeze-thaw cycling and how it suits the home’s age and style. On a mid-century home, new siding usually means new house wrap, flashing, and a proper moisture barrier underneath, which is where the real weather protection comes from.
Roofing protects everything below it, and in Minnesota that means dealing with snow load, ice dams, and ventilation, not just shingles. We handle full roof replacement with attention to the underlayment and ventilation details that determine how long a roof actually lasts here.
Windows are one of the highest-return exterior upgrades, especially on older Golden Valley homes with original or early-replacement units. New insulated, energy-efficient windows cut drafts and heating costs and noticeably change how a home feels in January.
Doors, both entry and patio, are the smaller piece homeowners underestimate. A poorly sealed or aging door is a real source of heat loss, and replacing it improves security, efficiency, and curb appeal at once.
Because we run all of this in-house alongside our porch and deck work, a homeowner re-siding while adding a deck or enclosing a porch deals with one local team and one contract. You can see the full range on our exteriors page, or the specific services: siding, roofing, windows, doors, and pergolas.
Why Choose Personal Pride in Golden Valley
We’re not a company that serves Golden Valley from a distance. Our office is in the city, so you’re working with a local team that can be on site quickly and knows the neighborhoods, the housing, and the permit office first-hand. On the city’s mid-century homes, we know the construction we’re working with and where the moisture and flashing details need attention on houses that predate modern building science.
We handle the permitting and inspections with the City of Golden Valley, coordinate multi-part exterior scopes so siding, roofing, and windows aren’t three disconnected projects, and back the work with manufacturer material warranties plus our own labor warranty. We’re a NADRA member, BBB A+ accredited, and veteran-friendly through our PrideBuilt Heroes Savings Program.
Our Process in Golden Valley
- Initial conversation. We talk through what’s failing or dated, which exterior elements are in scope, and a high-level budget. Being local, we can usually set up that first visit quickly.
- Site visit. We inspect the exterior condition on your Golden Valley home, siding, roof, windows, and doors, and identify what needs replacement versus what’s still sound.
- Design services agreement. We set a preliminary scope and pricing range, then move into selections.
- Selections and planning. Materials, colors, and product lines chosen, and the scope sequenced so multi-part projects run in the right order.
- Construction. We pull the City of Golden Valley permits, schedule, and complete the work, with communication through to the final walkthrough.

FAQ's
Are you a local Golden Valley exterior contractor?
Yes. Our office is at 1200 Mendelssohn Ave N in Golden Valley, so this is our home city, not a service area we drive to. That means quick site visits, and first-hand knowledge of the city’s homes and the local permit process.
Why do so many Golden Valley homes need exterior updates now?
Golden Valley grew as a suburb after World War II, so much of its housing is 60 to 80 years old. Siding, roofing, and windows from that era, or from an older replacement, are now reaching the end of their service life, which is why re-siding, roof replacement, and window upgrades are common projects across the city.
Do I need a permit for siding, roofing, or window work in Golden Valley?
In most cases, yes. Re-siding, roof replacement, and structural window or door changes generally require a permit from the City of Golden Valley. Because we’re based here, the local process is routine for us. We verify what your project needs and handle the permit and inspections.
What siding holds up best in Minnesota?
Fiber cement, including James Hardie, is a popular choice here because it resists moisture, handles freeze-thaw cycling, and holds paint well in a climate with big temperature swings. Engineered wood and quality vinyl are also viable depending on budget and look. Just as important as the material is the installation: house wrap, flashing, and sealing are what actually keep water out.
Can you do siding, roofing, and windows as one project?
Yes, and it’s often the smarter approach on an older home. Coordinating multiple exterior elements under one local team means the flashing, sequencing, and weather protection are handled as a single system rather than by separate contractors. It also usually means one schedule and less overall disruption.
