Not Sure Where to Start? We'll Help You Find the Right Fit.

Lino Lakes is a community of custom and semi-custom homes — and the exterior needs to match. Innovative Building & Design has been serving Lino Lakes homeowners from our Blaine location since 2008, with VSI-certified installers who understand the precision that higher-end residential siding requires. We work with James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, vinyl, and seamless steel — and we'll help you find the product that performs, looks right, and holds its value for decades.

Lino Lakes custom homes often feature larger wall surfaces, more architectural detail, and premium materials that require a more careful approach than a typical suburban siding job. Cedar shake accents, board and batten sections, and mixed material exteriors all require an installer who knows the details — not a crew running the same process on every house. Our team will assess your home's full exterior, walk you through material options that match your existing architecture, and use our Hover visualization tool to show you exactly how your Lino Lakes home will look before anything is ordered. No pressure. No upselling. Just honest guidance.

Every Style. Every Budget. One Trusted Installer.

We work with all major siding manufacturers so we can match the right product to your home and your budget. Our siding installation and replacement services cover every material and every budget — with VSI-certified installers who know what holds up in a Minnesota climate. Here’s what we install:

James Hardie Fiber Cement

The gold standard in siding durability. James Hardie fiber cement is engineered to resist Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and impact. It looks like wood but never rots, warps, or requires painting as often. A premium choice that adds serious long-term value.

LP SmartSide Engineered Wood

LP SmartSide gives you the warmth and beauty of real wood with dramatically better performance. It's treated to resist moisture, fungal decay, and impact — and it's one of the most popular choices for homeowners who want a natural look without the maintenance.

Vinyl Siding

Low maintenance, cost-effective, and available in more colors and profiles than any other material. We install all major vinyl brands including Alside, Mastic, and Royal — so you get the look you want at a price that makes sense.

Seamless Aluminum & Steel

For homeowners who want maximum durability and a clean, modern look, seamless aluminum and steel siding delivers. It's dent-resistant, fade-resistant, and built to last decades with minimal upkeep.

Why Lino Lakes Homeowners Choose Innovative Building & Design for Siding

Custom homes in Lino Lakes aren’t a job for a contractor who runs the same playbook on every house. VSI certification means our installers are trained and tested to the industry’s highest standards — and that matters more on a complex, high-value home than anywhere else. We’ve completed siding projects throughout Lino Lakes — near Lake Drive, along the I-35W corridor, and in the lake-area communities — and we bring the same precision to every project. When the job is done, your home looks exactly the way you envisioned it. That’s not a promise we make lightly — it’s what our 159+ five-star reviews say.

VSI Certified Installer

VSI certification means our installers have been trained and tested to meet the industry's highest standards for siding installation. Most contractors don't have it. We do.

All Major Brands

We're not locked into one manufacturer. That means we can recommend the product that's genuinely right for your home — not just the one we have a deal to sell.

Clean Job Site

We treat your property with respect. Every job ends with a thorough cleanup — debris removed, landscaping protected, and your home left looking better than when we arrived.

Joe and his team added 900 sq ft to our home on Medicine Lake in Plymouth and made our home our dream home. We added a master suite and gym below. It was so easy working with Joe through a major project. He is the best contractor I have worked with by far! I would hire him again for anything we need.

Innovative put a new roof on our house, and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone we worked with was very professional and helpful.

We worked with Innovative Building and Design to install an in-ground pool this summer. Justin was friendly and easy to work with. Pricing and timelines were very reasonable considering the scope of work. His team was professional throughout the whole process taking the stress of a big construction project such as this out of the equation. We couldn't be happier with our finished pool and are happy that we were able to work with such a great company to get this done.
Response from the owner:Rachel, thanks for the lovely review! We're glad Justin was friendly and easy to work with throughout your in-ground pool project. – The IBD Team

We used Innovative Building and Design for our pool this summer. We can't say enough of how well this company did and how timely they were with the project. Justin was amazing answering a long list of questions daily! Joe and the build crew made the work look seamless. Making on the spot adjustments because of me... without worry or question! The part that just continues to stand out after the build is the customer service! They are timely and trustworthy that they will get the answer and work done without question. We have recommended Innovative Building and Design to several friends that are interested in a pool.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the generous review! We're delighted you were happy with how your pool turned out this summer. – The IBD Team

Innovative came highly recommended when we were shopping for a pool builder. Their pricing was inline or better than several other pool builders. They were able to get our pool built this year, while several other builders were a year out or longer. We had a great experience with Justin and Joe.
Response from the owner:Mike, thank you for choosing us as your pool builder! We're glad our pricing and the experience lived up to the recommendation. – The IBD Team

We used Innovative Building & Design, LLC for our pool installation this summer and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. We received several estimates and selected Justin and his team because the proposal was extremely detailed, the price was competitive, and the professional approach was second to none. In the end everything was on schedule and the overall quality exceeded our expectations. This is my second pool in 20 years and I strongly recommend connecting with Justin and his team if you are considering a pool installation.

We provide siding installation and replacement services across the north metro, including Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Shoreview, Hugo, White Bear Lake, Forest Lake, and surrounding communities.

Common Questions From Lino Lakes MN Homeowners

Quality siding installed correctly lasts 30–50 years depending on the material. James Hardie fiber cement is one of the most durable options available — engineered specifically to handle Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and impact. LP SmartSide and seamless steel are also excellent long-term investments. We’ll help you match the right material to your home and your budget.

Both are premium engineered products that outperform vinyl and wood in Minnesota’s climate. James Hardie fiber cement is heavier, harder, and holds paint longer — it’s the gold standard for durability. LP SmartSide is engineered wood — lighter, easier to install, and excellent at resisting moisture and impact. We install both and will give you an honest recommendation based on your home and your goals.

Yes — especially when combined with new house wrap and insulation during installation. Properly installed siding eliminates air gaps, reduces drafts, and can meaningfully improve your home’s thermal performance. We’ll assess your current exterior and let you know what options make sense.

Yes — we use Hover, a photo-realistic home visualization tool, to show you exactly how different siding styles and colors will look on your actual home before anything is ordered. No guessing, no surprises.

Yes. New siding is a significant investment and we offer flexible financing options to help you get the exterior your home deserves without the sticker shock. Ask us about current financing offers when you request your free estimate.
