Leadership
Who you work with
Small enough to know every project. Big enough to run real 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.

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 is majority owner and runs the operational side. 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.

What homeowners say
5 stars
"Joe showed up personally to inspect the roof before we signed anything. That's when I knew this wasn't a franchise operation."
Sarah M.
Edina, roof replacement
"The quote was detailed. No hidden fees. They pulled the permit before we even signed. That's professionalism."
Mark T.
Eden Prairie, siding
"Lindsey called me twice during the project to check in. The crew was clean, on time, and the workmanship is solid."
Jennifer K.
Minnetonka, windows
"I got three quotes. Modex wasn't the cheapest, but the detail in their estimate and their certifications made the difference."
David L.
Bloomington, roof
"They didn't pressure me on upgrades. They explained the options and let me decide. That's rare."
Patricia N.
Edina, siding
"The warranty is in my name. Not the contractor's, not the company's. Mine. That matters."
Robert H.
Plymouth, roof
"Modex is a women-owned company. Lindsey and Joe both know the work. That's not just a label—it's real."

About Modex
Common questions about Modern Exterior Systems
Ownership, history, and how the company is structured — straight answers, no spin.
Who owns Modern Exterior Systems?
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.
When was Modex founded?
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.
Is Modex part of a national franchise or private-equity rollup?
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.
What does Joe Dvorak do at Modex?
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.
What does Lindsey Dvorak do at Modex?
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.
How is Modex different from Modern Exteriors or Minnesota Exteriors?
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.
