American Pro Exteriors is a local siding and roofing company built on straightforward work, consistent quality, and long-term relationships with homeowners in the White Bear Lake area.
Founded in 2001, the company has grown through referrals and repeat customers, not sales tactics. The focus has always been simple: do the job right and stand behind the work.
American Pro Exteriors was founded by Kenny Kost, who has been working in exterior remodeling since 1999.
Kenny learned the trade early on, working alongside a family member and gaining hands-on experience with siding installation and exterior work. From the beginning, he approached it the same way he approached everything else, by learning the details, putting in the time, and doing the work the right way.
Outside of construction, Kenny spent over 20 years in boxing, starting in a local Golden Gloves gym in the White Bear Lake area and eventually competing professionally with 18 fights.
He doesn’t make a big deal about that background, but it shaped how he works, consistent, disciplined, and focused on doing things the right way. In both boxing and construction, cutting corners isn’t an option.

The approach at American Pro Exteriors is simple:
There’s no high-pressure sales process and no unnecessary upselling. Most projects come from homeowners who want a straightforward experience and a contractor they can trust to do the job right.

One thing that sets American Pro Exteriors apart is attention to detail.
After years in the industry, it’s easy to spot when siding or roofing work has been rushed or done incorrectly. Small mistakes can lead to bigger problems over time, especially in Minnesota’s climate.
That’s why every project is approached with long-term performance in mind, not just getting it done quickly.

Even after decades in the business, there’s always more to learn.
Staying current with new materials, installation methods, and best practices is part of the job. Whether it’s working with newer products like LP SmartSide or refining installation techniques, the goal is always the same, do better work and deliver better results for homeowners.
American Pro Exteriors works with homeowners throughout:
Being local matters. Homes in this area deal with harsh winters, moisture, and seasonal changes, and experience in these conditions makes a difference in how projects are approached.
