Cheap Isn’t Cheap When You Have to Pay Twice
This is the part most people don’t want to hear until it’s too late:
- That “unbeatable price” comes from skipping prep
- Or not using cold-rated adhesives
- Or hiring undertrained labor
- Or installing materials outside their temperature specs
And when the snow melts, you find leaks. You see warped trim. You notice siding that buckled or pulled loose. You end up calling someone else — someone like us — to redo the job.
You didn’t save money. You lost time and peace of mind.
Fly-by-Night Crews Love Winter Discounts
When it’s 15 degrees, and snow is on the roof, legitimate contractors slow down—not because we don’t want to work, but because we won’t install products in unsafe or unstable conditions.
But that’s when:
- Storm chasers from out of town start knocking
- Pop-up LLCs show up with unverified licenses
- Crews who underbid jobs in summer suddenly reappear with winter “deals”
At BD Exteriors, we never undercut to land jobs — we price it right, do it right, and stick around after the snow melts.
How to Spot a Cheap Bid That’ll Cost You Later
Before you sign anything in the winter, here’s what to ask:
- Are they using cold-weather-rated materials and adhesives?
- Are they giving you a written workmanship warranty?
- Will they still be in business this spring?
- Can they provide local references from the past 6 months?
If the answer is no, don’t hire them. Winter isn’t the time to gamble with your roof, siding, or home’s envelope.
BD Exteriors: Built to Last, Even in the Cold
We’re not going to lowball you. We’re not going to promise what we can’t deliver. And we’re definitely not going to install something that won’t last through a Central Minnesota February.
What we will do:
- Be honest about what’s safe and smart to do now
- Plan and quote your project the right way
- Show up when we say we will
- Stand behind our work long after the snow is gone
Let’s talk about your next exterior project—whether it’s happening this winter, next spring, or somewhere down the road. Even if now’s not the right time to install, it’s the right time to plan.
Because you deserve a contractor who shows up — not just when the price is low, but when the work matters. Fill out our contact form today or call (320) 229-2855 with questions or to request a project estimate.
