Stain or Paint — the Choice That Sets the Next Twenty Years

Cedar is the defining substrate in this city. Cedar siding, cedar shakes, exposed timber and heavy wood trim appear throughout the 1970s and 80s stock and on plenty of the newer builds, and the first real question on any Minnetonka exterior is not the color. It is what system the wood is going onto.

Sap, Shade and a North Side That Never Quite Dries

Minnetonka's wooded lots are the reason people live here and the reason exteriors behave differently here than three miles east.

Across Minnetonka

Durahome serves the whole city — Sherwood Forest with its winding roads and half-acre lots under mature evergreen and maple, Glen Lake, Groveland, Cedar Ridge, the Kingswood-Ashcroft-Stratford area, Lohmans Amhurst, and the streets running out toward Lake Minnetonka. Sherwood Forest is the clearest example of what this page is about: heavily wooded, spacious, and full of homes where the cedar, the canopy and the access all matter more to the estimate than the square footage does. It is also why we will not quote a Minnetonka exterior over the phone.

When to Book in Minnetonka

Exterior painting here runs roughly May through early October, and St. Paul fills earlier than most of the metro for one specific reason: the houses take longer. A detailed facade is a week rather than three days, so a crew's season holds fewer St. Paul projects than it holds suburban ones, and the good slots go early.
