Restoring Protection and Peace of Mind with a Full Exterior Remodel in Little Falls, MN
Location: Little Falls, MN
Renovations: New Windows, Steel and Vinyl Siding, Custom Gutters, A Fiberglass Front Door, and Updated Exterior Lighting
A split-level home in Little Falls received a complete exterior upgrade that stopped ongoing damage and prepared the home for many more Minnesota winters.
When Small Issues Started Adding Up
The homeowners first reached out to Lutgen Companies when they realized their exterior was showing its age faster than expected. Rotting siding, a worn roof, and failing windows were no longer cosmetic concerns. With winter approaching, they wanted confidence that their home would stay protected and comfortable through the colder months.

A Full Exterior Remodel To Restore Peace of Mind in Their Home
The Problems They Could Not Ignore
Over time, several exterior components began to fail at once, creating frustration and uncertainty about what to fix first.
- Panel siding was rotting and splintering
- The roof had reached the end of its lifespan
- Soffit was rotting with peeling paint, increasing the risk of wildlife entering the attic
- Multiple windows showed signs of failure and heat loss
The homeowners were especially concerned about the exterior envelope continuing to deteriorate and causing further damage if left unaddressed.
A Thoughtful Renovation Plan to Protect the Entire Home
Our consultation focused on long-term performance rather than quick fixes. Timing was flexible, but the priority was making sure the home could withstand another winter without ongoing issues.
To fully address the concerns, the project included:
- Sunrise Restoration replacement windows for improved efficiency and reliability
- A combination of Klauer steel siding and Market Square vinyl siding to balance durability and curb appeal
- Custom rolled aluminum gutters to manage water effectively
- A new fiberglass front door and custom light fixtures to complete the exterior update
Clear communication and detailed explanations throughout the process helped the homeowners feel confident they were making the right decisions for such a large investment.
Solving Issues You Cannot Always See
During installation, the team discovered missing insulation that created a thermal bridge between floors. This could have led to ongoing heat loss and potential mold concerns. Installing rigid insulation was added to fully resolve the issue, ensuring the home performed as well as it looked once the project was complete.
What They Love About Their Home Now
For the homeowners, the biggest relief came from knowing a large, multi-phase project was handled by a team that communicated clearly, respected their home, and followed through on every detail. That experience shows in the results they now enjoy every day.
- A solid, weather-resistant exterior built to handle Minnesota conditions
- Improved comfort and energy efficiency from new windows and insulation
- A refreshed look that brought new life to their older home
- Peace of mind knowing hidden issues were addressed, not covered up
In the Homeowner’s Words
“Lutgen Companies did an amazing job with our house project. Windows, doors, siding, and gutters. From working with Adam on estimate and answering all our questions, to Louie getting measurements and keeping us updated on production timelines, and then Tim and Stu on the window installation team, and Jacob with the siding crew, the entire team was great to deal with. Always on time, considerate and careful, these guys obviously take pride in their work and it shows. This was a huge project for us and brought new life into our older home. The entire Lutgen team made it easy and were great to work with throughout the process. I really cannot recommend them highly enough.”
