What's the Modex installation process?

Modern Exterior Systems (Modex) runs a five-step process from first inspection through warranty registration: free inspection and assessment, written quote with scope detail, contract and material ordering, install with on-site supervision, and manufacturer + workmanship warranty registration. Typical timeline from first call to completed install: 30-75 days for retail work, 45-90 days for insurance claims. 952-206-6339.

Transparency

Why most contractors hide their process

Most contractors keep their process vague because uncertainty makes it easier to upsell or avoid hard questions. Modex publishes every step: what happens on which day, who's responsible, what gets filed where.

  • No hidden costs or surprises

  • Line-item quotes you can compare

  • Warranty locked in before you pay

Inspection

You call, we show up within 48 hours

Call 952-206-6339 or submit the form online. A Modex crew lead—or owner Joe Dvorak on projects expected to exceed $40,000—arrives within 24 to 48 hours. We walk the roof when safe, photograph the actual condition, and document what we see. No high-pressure follow-up. Free, regardless of whether you hire us.

Within 48 hours of inspection, you receive a written line-item quote in your inbox. Materials by manufacturer and product line, install scope, permit fees, warranty terms—itemized, not lump-summed. You can compare line by line against any other contractor's bid. No "call to discuss pricing" gimmicks.

Selection

You choose the material that fits your home

Pick the material that fits the home and your budget. Modex holds five manufacturer certifications — CertainTeed, Malarkey, Atlas, LP SmartSide, and James Hardie — and also installs EDCO Steel Siding, DaVinci synthetic slate, and standing seam metal on premium projects. We don't push the material with the highest contractor margin. You choose based on what's right for the home.

Permits pulled before crews arrive

Modex handles all permitting before installation begins. The permit fee is itemized in your quote—no surprise add-ons. Once the permit clears and materials arrive, we schedule the install. Storm season lead times run 2 to 4 weeks; shoulder seasons sometimes 7 to 10 days; premium materials may add 6 to 16 weeks.

Install

Crews arrive on schedule with daily updates

The crew arrives on the scheduled day. You get daily progress updates from the crew lead. We sweep for nails with magnets, tarp landscaping, and clean debris each day. Disruption stays minimal—you live in the home throughout the project.

  • Daily crew lead communication

  • Magnetic nail sweeps and debris cleanup

  • Landscaping protected throughout

Final walk-through locks in your warranty

A final walk-through happens with the crew lead—or with owner Joe Dvorak on projects over $40,000. Anything not right gets fixed before final payment. We then file your manufacturer warranty registration so long-tail coverage is locked in. Residential installs carry a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Insurance

Hail and wind claims follow a different path

For hail, wind, or storm damage, the process differs. Modex documents damage with on-roof photography, meets your insurance adjuster on the property, writes scopes carriers can validate, and coordinates supplements when the carrier scope is incomplete. We do not waive deductibles—that violates Minnesota statute, and contractors who offer it signal problems elsewhere in their operation.
