One team vs. one trade at a time
Why a designed exterior beats hiring four different contractors
Need a quick roof repair and nothing else? A roofer may be the right call. Updating more than one part of your exterior? Here's the difference.
| Separate roofer, siding, window & door companies | Designed exterior with The Home Authority, Inc. | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Each product picked on its own; colors and styles rarely tie together | One exterior design, with siding, trim, stone, roof and doors chosen together |
| Water management | Each trade flashes only its own piece; gaps happen where they meet | Windows, doors, siding and roof flashed as one weather-tight system |
| Who you call | A roofer, a siding crew, a window company, a door installer | One project lead from design to final walkthrough |
| Schedule | Separate crews, separate calendars, months of disruption | One coordinated schedule |
| Rework | New windows later can mean tearing off new siding | Planned in the right order the first time |
| Price | Lower per-item bids, plus the cost of mismatches and rework | One fixed price for the whole design, even when built in phases |
What we remodel
Every part of your exterior, planned as one house
Most Fargo-Moorhead exterior projects combine several of these. We design them together so color, style and weatherproofing carry across the whole house.
Siding
Fiber-cement, engineered wood, vinyl and mixed-material designs with trim, soffit and fascia.
Windows
Energy-efficient replacement windows sized, styled and flashed with your siding.
Entry doors
Statement front doors, sidelights and storm doors that anchor the design.
Garage doors
Insulated garage doors in colors and styles that match the rest of the house.
Roofing
Impact-rated shingle and metal roofing as part of a complete exterior plan.
Stone & masonry
Stone veneer, brick and column wraps for depth and curb appeal.
Concrete
Driveways, front steps, sidewalks and patios that finish the look.
Porches & covered entries
Front porches, columns and entry overhangs that welcome you home.
Built for Red River Valley weather
Beautiful on the outside. Weather-tight underneath.
Hail, wind and a hundred-degree swing between July and January are hard on a house. The layers you don't see — barrier, flashing, insulation — matter as much as the color you pick.
Hail & wind
Impact-rated roofing and durable siding options for Red River Valley storms.
100-degree temperature swings
Materials and fasteners chosen to handle summer heat and sub-zero winters.
Freeze-thaw & ice dams
Proper flashing, ventilation and insulation at the roofline.
Air sealing & insulation
A tighter envelope behind new siding means lower heating bills.
Water-resistive barrier
A continuous layer behind siding that keeps wind-driven rain out.
Low-maintenance finishes
Factory-finished colors that hold up to North Dakota sun and snow.

Exterior remodeling FAQ
Questions Fargo-Moorhead homeowners ask about exterior remodeling
Have one we didn't answer? Ask it at your free consult.
How much does an exterior remodel cost in Fargo-Moorhead?
Exterior remodel cost in Fargo-Moorhead depends on how much of the exterior is included, your siding material, the number of windows and doors, roofing and any stone or concrete. The Home Authority, Inc. gives you an honest budget range on a free 15-minute call, then one fixed price once your exterior design is complete.
How is The Home Authority, Inc. different from a siding or roofing company?
We design the whole exterior as one project. Siding, trim, windows, doors, roof, stone and concrete are chosen together so they look cohesive and are flashed as one weather-tight system, with one project lead and one fixed price.
Should I replace windows or siding first?
If both are on your list, plan them together. Replacing windows after new siding often means removing siding around every window. Designing both at once lets us install them in the right order, even if you build in phases.
Can I remodel my exterior in phases?
Yes. We design the whole exterior first, then build it in phases, starting with the most urgent work like roofing or windows. Each phase is priced before it starts and fits the final design.
What is the best siding for North Dakota and Minnesota winters?
Fiber-cement and engineered wood siding are popular in Fargo-Moorhead for their durability in hail, wind and extreme temperature swings. Insulated vinyl is a lower-cost option. We help you compare look, durability and maintenance for your home.
Does new siding or a new front door increase home value?
Yes. In the 2025 Cost vs. Value report for our region, garage door replacement, steel entry door replacement, manufactured stone veneer and fiber-cement siding each recouped more than 100% of their cost at resale.
Do you replace roofs?
Yes. Roofing is part of our exterior remodeling, usually as part of a larger exterior design or as the first phase of one.
Do you install garage doors and entry doors?
Yes. Garage doors and entry doors are chosen as part of your exterior design so their colors and styles match the siding, trim and stone.
How long does an exterior remodel take?
A whole-exterior remodel usually takes several weeks of construction, depending on scope and weather. Smaller updates can take days. You get a schedule before work begins.
Can you work on exteriors in the winter?
Some exterior work can continue in cold weather, while some materials and concrete have temperature limits. We plan the order of work around the season so your home stays protected.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. The Home Authority, Inc. handles permits and inspections for exterior remodeling in North Dakota and Minnesota.
Is exterior design included?
Yes. Every exterior remodel includes design from Studio A, including a coordinated palette, renderings of your finished home and material selections.
