Multi-Family Commercial Roof Replacement Project in Hopkins, MN
Modernizing Minnetonka Mills with a Full Multi-Family Exterior Transformation
The Minnetonka Mills community required a comprehensive exterior upgrade to enhance curb appeal, improve weather protection, and support long-term performance. The project’s scope demanded careful planning and coordination to ensure consistent results across the property.
While the work was completed at a multi-family community in Minnetonka, the project reflects the same level of organization, attention to detail, and execution applied to complex multi-family exterior renovations throughout Minnesota.
Project Overview
Younger Exteriors was selected to complete a comprehensive remodel for seven multi-unit residential buildings along Minnetonka Mills Road. Unlike storm-related projects, this was a retail renovation funded directly by the property owners. Their goal was to modernize the community, improve curb appeal, and increase long-term durability across every structure.
The Challenge
The existing exterior materials had aged beyond their functional life. Roofing, siding, soffit, fascia, and foundation elements all required replacement. The owners were seeking a full transformation that balanced cost efficiency with long-term performance, a common consideration for multi-unit communities planning large-scale renovations.
This was not a storm-related project, so material selection, budgeting, and long-term durability were critical factors. The project also required a thoughtful color strategy. Each material and finish needed to work together to create a cohesive appearance across all seven buildings.
The scope and complexity of the project required careful planning and coordination to ensure consistent results throughout the entire property.
Our Solution
Younger Exteriors delivered a smooth, coordinated transformation using durable products and skilled installation techniques:
- Installed Owens Corning asphalt shingle roofing systems to strengthen weather protection and provide a clean architectural finish.
- Applied LP SmartSide siding in two coordinated colors using a ⅔ alternating pattern to add depth and visual interest.
- Installed Edco steel soffit and fascia for low-maintenance, long-term performance—ideal for multi-unit and HOA-managed properties.
- Built custom entry post enhancements to create definition and improve the buildings’ overall design.
- Painted the existing foundation block in a contrasting color to tie the siding and roofing elements together for a unified finish.
After the remodel, Younger Exteriors continued to support the property by replacing and repairing the garage wrap due to vehicle impact. This ongoing work reflects our commitment to long-term partnerships with multi-family property managers.
Timeline & Client Experience
The renovation began in April 2018 and followed a timeline consistent with other large-scale multi-family exterior projects, taking approximately six weeks from start to finish. Each phase of work was carefully scheduled to minimize disruption, maintain safe access, and ensure a clean job site for residents.
Clear communication with property owners and managers remained a priority throughout the project. Regular updates, on-site coordination, and proactive planning helped keep the renovation on schedule while maintaining high standards of workmanship.
The Results
The completed renovation delivered a dramatic transformation. The buildings now feature updated exterior materials, improved structural protection, and a clean, modern appearance. The upgraded roofing, siding, soffit, and fascia systems improved weather resistance and overall performance, enhancing the community’s visual appeal.
Years later, the property continues to present a polished, well-maintained appearance, demonstrating the long-term value of thoughtful planning and experienced execution on complex multi-unit projects.
