Siding Contractor in Edina, MN
Edina runs two different processes for exterior work depending on where a property sits: a formal historic preservation review inside the Country Club District, and a standard permit everywhere else in this largely built-out, first-ring Minneapolis suburb. That One Construction Co. is a siding contractor serving Edina and the surrounding area, and knowing which process applies to a given address is the first real step.
Since the 1980s, Growth Here Has Meant Teardowns, Not New Subdivisions
Edina’s median construction year is around 1973, and the city was already largely built out by the early 1980s. Since then, new housing has come almost entirely from infill and redevelopment on existing lots rather than new subdivisions, which is exactly why the city runs a Residential Redevelopment Contractor Accreditation program for builders working on teardown-rebuild projects. Median household income here runs above $128,000, so material choice tends to be driven by what holds up long-term rather than by upfront cost alone.
Country Club District Siding Permits Now Go Through Staff Review
Roughly 550 homes sit inside Edina’s Country Club District, a neighborhood platted in 1924 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Under an updated plan of treatment that took effect January 1, 2026, siding, roofing, and window permits in the district can no longer be issued over the counter. Each one now goes through staff review, with a plan review fee, and staff decide whether the work also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Heritage Preservation Commission before a permit is issued. Properties outside the district, and not individually designated as Edina Heritage Landmarks, follow the standard state process.
Hail Damaged Siding Across Edina on August 11, 2023
On August 11, 2023, storm cells crossing the Twin Cities during the evening commute left a streak of hail damage through Edina, according to the Minnesota DNR, which listed siding among the damage the storm left behind. The event made NOAA’s list of billion-dollar weather disasters, with a preliminary toll of $1.5 billion. Siding damage from a storm like that isn’t always obvious from a quick look, particularly on a shaded or rear elevation nobody walks past regularly.
How Siding Permits Work in Edina
Edina’s own building guidance names siding directly, grouping it with roofing and windows as work to a “permanent weather resistive surface” that requires a building permit. Permits go to homeowners who homestead the property or to contractors licensed by the State of Minnesota, and residential review typically runs 5 to 10 business days. Multi-family buildings with three or more units, and rental properties generally, have their own additional licensing requirements for any electrical work involved.
Why That One Construction Co.
Edina’s dual-track process, historic review in one part of the city, a standard permit everywhere else, means the same siding job can look completely different depending on the address, and getting that distinction right up front is what keeps a job on schedule. That’s the first question That One Construction Co. answers on any Edina property, before a single material sample gets ordered.
Products include Mastic vinyl, Hardie fiber cement, Edco steel, and LP SmartSide. On a Country Club District home, That One Construction Co. builds staff review into the schedule from the start, so a permit that no longer comes over the counter doesn’t hold up the job. Every job starts with a prep email describing what to expect, and every crew works to the same cleanup standard: landscaping protected before work starts, garage doors boarded, magnets run for stray fasteners at the end.
