With rising energy costs, Minnesota homeowners are constantly looking for ways to keep their bills down. One fundamental way to reduce your bills and carbon footprint is through environmentally friendly exterior improvements for your home. At Tollefson Bros. Exteriors, we are an exterior home remodeling company located in Bloomington, Minnesota. We have decades of experience helping homeowners in the area update the exterior of their homes to boost curb appeal and be more energy efficient.
Below are a few exterior improvements you can make to reduce your monthly energy bills.
- Replacement Windows – New replacement windows can help to improve energy efficiency in your home and, in turn, reduce your energy bills. Depending on the type of new windows you choose, you could see savings between 25-40%, which is a significant reason why so many people are investing in replacement windows for their homes. At Tollefson Bros. Exteriors, we use replacement windows specifically designed for the extreme temperatures we see throughout Minnesota.
- Updated Insulation – Many older homes have outdated or no insulation at all. Insulation technology has improved dramatically over the past few decades, with current recommended R values ranging from R-38 to R-60.
- Updated Exterior Siding – Are you tired of painting? Are you interested in learning about some of the energy efficiency benefits of new siding? At Tollefson Bros. Exteriors, we install Royal Vinyl Siding, LP Smart Side, and James Hardy siding. All of these siding projects are environmentally friendly and require little, if any, maintenance.
- Roofing – Today’s roofing materials are much more energy efficient than older, outdated shingles. Some of today’s shingles come with lengthy warranties that will ensure your roof lasts for many decades. We install roofing shingles from top manufacturers, including Owens-Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed. We’re also storm damage roofing specialists, so if you think you may have hail or storm damage, reach out to our team for a free storm damage assessment.
