How to get siding leads

12-month counts: Minneapolis 2025-10-01 to 2026-09-30; Brooklyn Park Sep 2025 to Aug 2026

Siding work is spread thin: 231 different applicants pulled Minneapolis's 418 residential siding permits in the last year, at a median job value of $12,000. Brooklyn Park added 89 more. The contractors who win are the ones who reach the right houses first.

5 ways to find siding leads

1. Mail neighbors of new siding jobs. Once one house on a block is re-sided, neighbors notice theirs.
2. Follow new roofs. Minneapolis issued 2,322 roofing permits; siding is often next on the same house.
3. Work storm areas. Hail claims bring roofing and siding together. See storm damage leads.
4. Watch busy neighborhoods. Waite Park had the most siding permits (25), then Victory (16).
5. Ask for referrals at completion, and leave yard signs while the permit card is up.

Seasonality

Siding permits peaked at 62 in Oct 2025 and bottomed at 13 in Jan 2026.
