Minneapolis facts that shape the job
- The city's exempt-work list lets owners of one- and two-family dwellings swap sink faucets and water closets, replace dishwashers or disposals, and repair leaking pipes or fixtures without a permit, as long as the water supply or piping system is not altered. Gutters, soffits, fascia and trim are also listed as exempt exterior work.Source: www.minneapolismn.gov, checked 2026-10
- NOAA's 30 year normals give Minneapolis roughly 7,699 heating degree days annually. Measured at the Lower St Anthony Falls (MN) station. The heating load here is higher than in 55 of the 56 other cities we cover; Madison, WI comes closest. That much winter is the main reason plumbers here see split pipes after a cold night.Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, station USC00214884, checked 2026-10
