Question 1

When and why would I need a Lead-Safe Certified Contractor?

Accepted Answer

Lead-Safe Certified Contractors are required for work on pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities as of April 22, 2010. This certification is crucial because lead can be mistaken for essential nutrients by the body, posing significant health risks, especially to growing children. Viking Exteriors has been engaged in lead reduction work since 1998 and holds an EPA Lead-safe certified firm status (NAT-31179-4), ensuring the safety of your family during renovations.

Question 2

Why should I put new siding on my house?

Accepted Answer

Installing new siding offers multiple benefits. It eliminates the need for future house painting, saving you time and money. Modern insulated sidings, foam core underlayments, and wind and water infiltration barriers improve your home's energy efficiency, reducing both heating and cooling costs. Additionally, new siding enhances your home's appearance while addressing air leaks in your walls. For professional siding installation, contact our St. Paul Siding Contractor.

Question 3

Why should I put new windows on my house?

Accepted Answer

Replacing old windows can significantly reduce maintenance, heating, and cooling expenses. Modern windows feature superior materials, engineering, and design, offering improved energy efficiency, longevity, and style. Features like easy-tilt window sashes simplify cleaning. New windows and doors maintain their appearance and weather-tight seal for years. Additionally, you may be eligible for federal energy tax credits.

Question 4

What if I get a much lower price from another contractor?

Accepted Answer

While a lower price may seem attractive, it can sometimes indicate subpar craftsmanship or the use of inferior products. We recommend researching contractors through resources like the Better Business Bureau or the MN Department of Commerce to verify their standing and current licensing. Opting for a contractor who uses low-quality products or improper installation techniques could result in costly repairs in the future, potentially exceeding thousands of dollars.
