If your current siding is cracked, faded, or storm damaged, it stops protecting the structure underneath and drags down the look of your whole home.

What Our Vinyl Siding Service Includes
Empire Roofing handles full vinyl siding replacement and new installation. We do not patch or do spot repairs. Replacing siding as a complete system means your whole exterior matches, performs as one weather barrier, and comes with a warranty you can count on.
Every project starts with a free inspection. We look at your existing siding and the surface underneath, then give you a clear, written estimate with no surprise charges. Once you choose your product and color, our crew removes the old siding, checks the sheathing and moisture barrier, and installs your new vinyl with proper weatherproofing.
Homeowners usually come to us when siding is aging, damaged by a storm, or no longer sealing out Northland weather. We also install siding on new construction and additions throughout the region.
The Benefits of New Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most popular siding choice in the Duluth area, and for good reason. It protects your home, keeps maintenance low, and refreshes your curb appeal without a premium price tag. Here is what it brings to your home:
- Low maintenance. No repainting or staining. An occasional rinse keeps it looking new.
- Cold-weather durability. Quality vinyl handles freeze and thaw cycles, heavy snow, and the temperature swings the Northland is known for.
- Energy efficiency. Insulated vinyl adds a layer of protection that helps your home hold heat through Duluth winters.
- Lasting color. Modern vinyl resists fading, so your color stays true for years.
- Strong value. Vinyl delivers the look and protection most homeowners want at the most budget-friendly point in the siding category.
Done right, new vinyl siding is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect and improve your home. The next step is making sure it is installed by a team that knows Northland weather.

Vinyl Siding Options and What to Expect
Vinyl siding comes in a wide range of profiles, textures, and colors, so you can match the character of your home or give it a completely new look. We help you weigh standard and insulated vinyl based on your goals, your home, and how much added energy efficiency you want.
Insulated vinyl costs a little more up front but adds rigidity and a thermal layer that pays off through Northland winters. Standard vinyl remains a durable, budget-friendly choice. During your estimate, we will lay out the differences so you can choose with confidence.

Storm or Hail Damage? We Handle the Insurance Side
Vinyl siding takes a beating from Northland storms. Hail can crack and puncture panels, and high winds can loosen or tear siding off the wall. The damage is not always easy to see from the ground, and left alone it lets water reach the structure underneath.
This is where Empire Roofing stands apart from a siding-only company. We have spent over two decades handling storm and insurance claims for Duluth-area homeowners. We inspect your siding for free, document the damage for your claim, and work directly with your adjuster to help you get a fair settlement. Please note that Minnesota law prohibits contractors from covering or rebating your insurance deductible, and we follow those rules on every claim. You can read more from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
If a recent storm came through, do not wait. Schedule a free inspection and we will give you an honest answer about whether you have a claim.
