Arden Hills neighborhoods
Where Modex works in Arden Hills
Arden Hills sits 11 miles north-northeast of downtown Minneapolis in Ramsey County, surrounded by mature woods, cul-de-sacs, and four lakes. Neighborhoods around Lake Johanna, Lake Josephine, the Bethel University campus, and the Rice Creek Commons / former TCAAP redevelopment anchor the renovation market. Most pre-1990 homes need ridge vent retrofit and a careful look at deck condition at roof replacement.
Lake Johanna + Lake Josephine
Wooded lake-adjacent lots with 1960s-70s ramblers and splits, plus larger custom builds. Tree access and crane or material-staging planning matters on these properties.
Bethel + Rice Creek Commons
Campus-adjacent neighborhoods plus the TCAAP redevelopment with newer infill. James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and Kolbe common on premium projects.
City of Arden Hills Building Inspections: 1245 Highway 96 West, Arden Hills MN 55112, (651) 792-7800. Permits required for every roof replacement — pulled by Modex before crews start.

Arden Hills housing stock
What kind of homes does Modex work on in Arden Hills?
Arden Hills housing is overwhelmingly 1960s through 1980s ramblers, splits, and two-story colonials on wooded lots, with newer infill builds in the Rice Creek Commons redevelopment and around the Bethel University corridor. Tall trees, mature canopies, and cul-de-sac lots shape every install.
Wooded suburb · second + third roof cycles
Wooded ramblers and splits, plus newer infill near Rice Creek Commons
Most Arden Hills homes are 40 to 60 years old and on their second or third roof. The combination of mature trees, full-canopy shade, and original 1960s-70s decking means we plan tree-clearance and material staging carefully and quote a deck repair allowance upfront rather than padding the invoice. Continuous ridge vent retrofit, soffit baffle inspection, and extended ice-and-water shield are standard on every Arden Hills roof replacement.

Lake Johanna premium
Lake-adjacent renovations and Rice Creek Commons infill
Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine homes trend toward premium renovations — mature lots, longer-tenure owners, larger remodels. Rice Creek Commons infill adds newer custom builds to the mix. Joe walks every Arden Hills install over $40,000 — most lake-adjacent and infill premium projects clear that threshold.

Why Arden Hills
Why do Arden Hills homeowners hire us?
Three things separate us in the Arden Hills market: ridge vent retrofit on every roof, six manufacturer certifications instead of one, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on every residential install.
Ventilation retrofit on every roof
Most pre-1990 Arden Hills homes have inadequate attic ventilation driving ice dam frequency. We install continuous ridge vent and check soffit baffles on every replacement — eliminating the most common root cause of repeated ice dam events.
Six manufacturer certifications
Most Arden Hills contractors install one shingle line and one siding line. We install five — CertainTeed, Malarkey, Atlas, LP SmartSide, James Hardie — so the homeowner picks the material that fits the home and budget.
Lifetime workmanship warranty
Industry standard on roofing workmanship is 5 to 10 years. Modex backs every Arden Hills residential install for as long as you own the home. No asterisks, no fine print.
