About Bison Exteriors
A Builder’s Approach to Exterior Work
Bison Exteriors was founded in 2009, but the experience behind it goes back much further. Before starting Bison, our founder led a real estate development company focused on multi-family construction, bringing a deep, practical understanding of how buildings are designed, structured, and built from the ground up.
That background still shapes how we approach every project today. We’re not storm-chasers or sales-driven contractors, we’re builders. We understand how each part of a home works together, from structure to exterior systems, and we apply that knowledge to deliver work that performs long after installation.
We approach every project with a builder’s mindset, understanding how it all comes together, and ensuring it’s done right from start to finish.
Tom Menke, Owner & Founder
Serving Saint Paul & the Greater Twin Cities
We’re based in St. Paul and work throughout the surrounding communities, including Eagan, Bloomington, Maple Grove, Mendota Heights, Woodbury, Roseville, Inver Grove Heights, and beyond. While we serve the full Twin Cities area, our focus is on building strong relationships in our local community with homeowners in and around St. Paul.
That local focus allows us to bring a higher level of care and attention to detail to every project we take on.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Real feedback from homeowners across the St. Paul area who value quality craftsmanship and a smooth, professional experience.
Tom is a very knowledgeable person in the window, siding and roofing industry. He really cares about the quality of the work he does. I have worked with Tom on more than one occasion and can't say enough good about the way he handles his projects. Tom and his company Bison Exteriors are a top choice for exterior projects. I've worked with too many other contractors that really don't know how to do things right. I feel very comfortable working with Tom time and again!
We hired Bison Exteriors for roof and window wrapping repair due to this past summer's hail storm damage. Tom Menke, the owner, is one of the friendliest and most straightforward business persons we've dealt with since buying our home in 1998. He was patient with our many questions (this was our first home repair due to hail damage) and helped us navigate the process of insurance paperwork, etc. He responded very quickly to either emails, texts, or phone calls. The job was done in two parts: the roof repair was done on the first visit, and the second part was re-wrapping the exterior window trim. The second part had to wait until we had new windows installed. In each case, the crew from Bison Exteriors were professional and hard working. Their work was excellent, especially the window wrapping. Given that both the roof and window wrapping were done in the middle of winter, and done so well, is a testament to their professionalism and commitment to providing quality work. I would recommend Bison Exteriors for roof or other exterior house repair work. Tom and his crew did a great job for us and we are 100% satisfied with the results.
Tom went above and beyond our expectations! Top notch quality, great communication, timely work. It was great to have him and his crew show up when they said they would be there. We’ve worked with Bison several times and are planning our next project with them. If you want peace of mind and a friendly contact person… Bison is the way to go!
