Roofing, Siding & Windows in Apple Valley, Minnesota
Owner-led and manufacturer-certified, with a lifetime workmanship warranty on every install. I run Modern Exterior Systems out of Eden Prairie and work Apple Valley and the south metro year-round.
Apple Valley is regular south-metro territory for my crews
My shop's in Eden Prairie, about 30 minutes from Apple Valley — regular territory, and the drive comes out of my pocket, not your quote. Crew lead on your property within 24 to 48 hours.
I know the housing stock here. Much of Apple Valley went up in the 1970s through the 90s — ramblers, splits, and two-stories now on their second roof and original siding, the cedar and hardboard finally giving out. The newer master-planned side around Cobblestone Lake brings bigger two-stories and steeper pitches. Wind-driven hail off the open south metro is hard on the siding as much as the roof, so I look at both. Different homes, different scopes — I quote each one for what it actually is.

Siding
LP SmartSide and James Hardie installs that hold paint through Minnesota freeze-thaw and don't shatter at -20°F. I quote both side-by-side so you see the cost gap. Original 70s–90s cedar, failing hardboard, and chalking aluminum — plus storm-pulled runs — are most of what I replace in Apple Valley.
Roof Replacement
CertainTeed and Malarkey certified installs. Most Apple Valley roofs land $14K–$30K; the Cobblestone Lake customs run higher into Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, or standing seam. The older homes usually need a ventilation retrofit so the next roof lasts — quoted upfront.
Storm Damage & Insurance
Wind-driven hail bruises siding as well as roofs here. I document both, meet your adjuster on-site, and write scopes carriers can validate. We don't waive deductibles — that's illegal in Minnesota under Statute 325E.66.
Windows
Kolbe, Pella, and ProVia — the brands I'd put in my own house, not the deepest-kickback line. Value vinyl $1,400–$2,500 a window; architectural lines $2,500–$6,000. The 70s–90s homes are full of fogged, seal-failed glass that's overdue.
Gutters & Guards
Seamless gutter repair and MasterShield guard installs. I'll tell you honestly when a reseal beats a full replacement — most repairs run $150–$2,500 by scope.
Commercial Roofing
Reroof, maintenance, and repair for Apple Valley-area commercial buildings — flat membrane (TPO, EPDM, mod-bit) and metal. Manufacturer-backed warranty plus a 10-year workmanship warranty. Honest condition reports, not rip-and-replace by default.
Three things I'll do that most Twin Cities contractors won't
Lifetime workmanship warranty
Most contractors give you 5 or 10 years on the install. I back ours for the lifetime of the roof. If it leaks in year 12 because of how we nailed it, we fix it on our dime — by then most outfits are gone or telling you it's your problem.
No door-knocking. No pressure.
No storm-chasing your street, no same-day-close playbook. I'll measure your Apple Valley project, write a line-item quote, and leave. Go get two more quotes — I'd rather you compare than feel rushed into a roof you didn't have time to think about.
Manufacturer-certified install
CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Malarkey Emerald, Atlas Pro+ Silver Select, LP SmartSide, James Hardie Preferred. That cert depth lets me register warranties most contractors can't — and it's verified, not a logo I pasted on.
Storm-pulled siding + roof · one claim, one deductible
Apple Valley · 2026 · LP SmartSide + Storm Claim
Wind-driven hail bruised the roof and cracked the aging hardboard siding on the west face. I documented both, met the adjuster, and the carrier approved roof and siding in one scope — the homeowner paid a single deductible.
80s rambler re-roof · ventilation retrofit
Apple Valley · 2026 · CertainTeed Landmark Pro
A second-roof rambler had ice-dam staining from a sealed attic. We replaced the roof and added balanced ventilation so the dams — and the leaks — stop coming back.

The questions I actually get asked in Apple Valley kitchens
Who installs siding in Apple Valley, including storm-damaged siding?
I do — siding is a big part of what I'm called for in Apple Valley. Most of it is original 1970s–90s cedar, hardboard, and chalking aluminum, plus storm-pulled runs on the wind-exposed elevations. I install LP SmartSide engineered wood ($22,000–$50,000 on a typical Apple Valley home) and James Hardie fiber cement ($35,000–$75,000), both of which hold paint through Minnesota freeze-thaw and don't shatter at -20°F. When wind or hail pulled the run, it usually rolls into the same insurance claim as the roof.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Apple Valley in 2026?
Most Apple Valley asphalt roof replacements run $14,000 to $30,000 in 2026 (CertainTeed Landmark Pro, Malarkey, Atlas). The newer Cobblestone Lake two-stories run higher, and premium materials — Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, standing seam metal — land $25,000 to $65,000+. A lot of the 1970s–90s homes are on their second roof with marginal ventilation, so I quote a deck allowance and vent retrofit upfront and bill only what's needed.
Do you do free roof inspections in Apple Valley?
Yes. I get a crew lead out within 24 to 48 hours. My shop is in Eden Prairie, about 30 minutes from Apple Valley — regular territory, and the drive is on me, not your quote. We walk the roof and the siding when it's safe, photograph the actual condition, and email a written line-item quote within 48 hours. No high-pressure follow-up.
Do you handle Apple Valley storm and hail insurance claims?
Yes. The 55124 ZIP takes hail and straight-line wind most summers, and wind-driven hail bruises siding as well as roofs. I document both with on-roof and elevation photography, meet your insurance adjuster on the property when I can, and write scopes carriers can actually validate. I won't waive your deductible — that's illegal in Minnesota under MN Statute 325E.66.
Do you replace windows in Apple Valley?
Yes. A lot of the 1970s–90s Apple Valley homes still run original or fogged first-generation double-pane glass — drafts, condensation between the panes, high winter bills. I install ProVia, Kolbe, and Pella, from value vinyl ($1,400–$2,500/window) up to architectural lines for the Cobblestone Lake and wooded-lot customs ($2,500–$6,000/window). I spec the right line for the home, not the brand with the deepest kickback.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof or siding in Apple Valley?
Yes. The City of Apple Valley requires a building permit for roof and siding replacement. I pull every Apple Valley permit before my crews start and fold the fee into the line-item quote — you're not chasing it down yourself.
