About

Built for Minnesota

Modern Exterior Systems (Modex) is a women-owned roofing, siding, and window contractor headquartered in Eden Prairie. We work throughout the Twin Cities metro with crews that know their craft and owners who walk every major project.

Leadership

Who you work with

Small enough to know every project. Big enough to run real systems.

Joe Dvorak of Modern Exterior Systems

Joe Dvorak

Owner

Decades in construction. Walks every install over $40,000 personally. Built Modex to do exterior work the right way — one contractor accountable for every trade, every warranty, and every detail. When you call, you talk to the owner, not a call center.

We're hiring

Modex is growing. If you're a crew lead or project manager in the Twin Cities, let's talk.

Philosophy

Why we built Modex

The exterior contracting industry consolidated. We filled the gap.

From Joe

We built Modex to do exterior work the way good contractors used to.

I started this business after years in the roofing industry, tired of watching corner-cutting contractors take advantage of homeowners who didn't know what to look for — so we published a Minnesota roofing contractor credential checklist homeowners can use on any quote. I wanted to build something different — a contractor where the work was done right because that's how we operate, not because someone was watching.

Today we install roofing, siding, windows, and full storm restoration across the Minneapolis metro. Lindsey runs the operational side of the business. I lead sales, marketing, and customer relationships. We pull permits before we start. We send a written quote within 48 hours. We never waive insurance deductibles. We register every warranty in your name.

We've never been bought by a private equity firm. We've never been part of a national franchise. Locally owned, family-operated, and we plan to stay that way.

Common questions about Modern Exterior Systems

Ownership, history, and how the company is structured — straight answers, no spin.

Lindsey Dvorak is the majority owner. Joe Dvorak co-owns and runs the customer-facing side — sales, marketing, and customer relationships — and he measures and walks every project over $40,000 himself. Modex is a certified women-owned, family-operated business. Not a national franchise, not a private-equity rollup.

We started in 2007 as Black Label Services and rebranded to Modern Exterior Systems in 2018 — same family ownership, same crew DNA, broader scope. If you're researching our history or licensing records, search both names; you'll find the same company.

No. We're independently owned and operated — no national franchise affiliation, no PE buyout. Locally owned, family-run, and we plan to keep it that way. The people who answer the phone are the same people accountable for the work on your roof.

Joe leads sales, marketing, customer relationships, and storm-response coordination, and he reviews the customer-facing content on this site. He's been in the roofing industry since 2002 and personally measures and walks every project over $40,000.

Lindsey is majority owner and runs the operational side — finance, HR, project coordination, and the back-office systems that keep jobs on schedule. She's the certified ownership lead for the women-owned business designation.

Different companies. Modern Exteriors is a stucco company; Minnesota Exteriors is a separate competitor — we're not affiliated with either. We're Modern Exterior Systems (Modex). The names look alike in search results, so if you're checking reviews or licensing, confirm you're looking at Modern Exterior Systems, MN License BC762305.
