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.
