About Us

Minnesota Exteriors – Serving Minneapolis St. Paul Homeowners Since 1947!

Longevity

Minnesota Exteriors was founded in 1947 by the father of Marty Bennis.  Marty and Zenalou Bennis grew the company throughout the next several decades until the they turned the business over to their four sons – Greg, Jeff, Dan and Tom.  The four brothers continue the family tradition, making Minnesota Exteriors a third-generation, family-owned company. We’ve built and maintained our quality reputation for more than 60 years. With our long-term performance record, you can be sure we will be there when you need us.

Growth

Since its beginning, our company has experienced steady growth and expansion. In the early days, we used a semi-trailer for a warehouse; today, it takes a 100,000 square-foot warehouse and showroom in Osseo, MN to service all our customers.

Midwest Commercial Exteriors is involved with the construction of hotels, office buildings and other large commercial projects.

North Country Distributors has been supplying materials only to lumberyards across the midwest.

Innovation

Over the years, MEI and its clients have won numerous local and national design awards for exceptional quality and craftsmanship. We have always been a trendsetter in innovative ideas by working closely with our manufacturers to develop new products that improve the performance and appearance of your home. By observing what is happening in the building industry and how it influences consumers, we’ve been able to anticipate what consumers will want in the future and modify our operations to satisfy your wants and needs.

Expertise

With over 100 well-trained employees, we pride ourselves on getting the job done correctly, on time, and at affordable prices. We are members of the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Lumberman’s Association, and the Multi-housing Association.

We believe that quality is the least expensive investment you can make. That’s why we provide and install only the finest exterior products available on the market today.  We work with top national brands like James Hardie, Rollex, Edco, Arrowhead, IKO, and WeatherShield. We’re so confident in the quality of our installation that we offer a limited lifetime warranty on workmanship, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranties on materials.
