Lake-corridor premium

Lake Minnewashta, Lake Susan, Lotus Lake projects

Chanhassen's lake neighborhoods — Lake Minnewashta, Lake Susan, Lotus Lake — trend toward premium materials when original asphalt reaches end of life. CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL, DaVinci synthetic slate (we install, not Authorized), James Hardie ColorPlus, and Kolbe Heritage windows are typical of the lake-corridor mix. Joe walks every Chanhassen install over $40,000 before crews start.

Chanhassen housing stock

What kind of homes does Modex work on in Chanhassen?

Most of our Chanhassen project mix is 1980s and 90s suburban buildout — South Lotus Lake ramblers, Lotus Lake Estates split-levels, Colonial Grove traditionals, and Longacres. Lake-corridor customs around Lake Minnewashta add premium-material projects to the mix.

1980s + 90s buildout

South Lotus Lake, Colonial Grove, Longacres

South Lotus Lake (35 single-family), Lotus Lake Estates (ramblers/ranches/splits), Colonial Grove (70 homes east of Lotus Lake), and Longacres (245 traditional + rambler homes on the northwest side). Most at first or second roof-replacement age. Ridge vent retrofits common — these homes were built with marginal attic ventilation that's now driving ice dam frequency.

Why Chanhassen

Why do Chanhassen homeowners choose Modex over other Twin Cities roofers?

Three things separate us in the Chanhassen market: five shingle lines instead of one, owner Joe Dvorak personally walks every project over $40,000, and every residential install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Six certifications

Six manufacturer certifications, not one

Most Chanhassen contractors stock one shingle line and one siding line. We install CertainTeed, Malarkey, Atlas, LP SmartSide, and James Hardie — so the homeowner picks the material that fits the home and the budget, not whatever the contractor's supplier has on the truck. For lake-corridor customs we also install DaVinci synthetic slate and standing seam metal.

Owner-led

Owner-led on premium projects

Joe Dvorak personally walks every Chanhassen install over $40,000 before our crews start. On Lake Minnewashta and Lotus Lake customs, that's most of the project mix. Joe leaves from the Modex shop in Eden Prairie — five miles east. Most Chanhassen properties are 15–20 minutes from the shop.

Lifetime warranty

Lifetime workmanship warranty

Industry standard on roofing workmanship is 5 to 10 years. Modex backs every Chanhassen residential install for the lifetime of the roof, siding, or window. The Our Atlas Pro+ certification plus a complete Signature Select system install is what registers the extended manufacturer warranty — up to 20 years non-prorated, on top of our workmanship coverage.

Questions

Chanhassen homeowners ask about costs, permits, timelines, and insurance claims.

Most Chanhassen asphalt roof replacements run $14,000 to $35,000 in 2026. Premium materials — CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL, DaVinci synthetic slate, standing seam metal — run $30,000 to $90,000+ on Lake Minnewashta and Lotus Lake customs. Class 4 impact-resistant upgrades typically qualify Chanhassen homeowners for 10-30% insurance-premium discounts.

Yes. Our crew lead — or owner Joe Dvorak on projects over $40,000 — comes out within 2 to 5 business days (5 to 10 during storm season). The Modex shop is in Eden Prairie, five miles east of central Chanhassen. We walk the roof when safe, photograph the actual condition, and email a written line-item quote within 48 hours. No charge. No high-pressure follow-up.

Yes. The City of Chanhassen requires a building permit for any roof replacement. Permits are filed through the BS&A Online system (the Building Inspections office is at 7700 Market Blvd, (952) 227-1180). A Minnesota state surcharge of 0.05% applies to the total job cost. We pull every Chanhassen permit before our crews start work and include the permit fee in the line-item quote.

Storm season (May through September) lead times are typically 2 to 4 weeks for residential roofs. Shoulder seasons we can sometimes turn a Chanhassen project in 7 to 10 days. Insurance jobs run on the adjuster timeline — usually 3 to 6 weeks from claim approval to install. Material lead times for premium products (DaVinci synthetic slate, Kolbe Heritage windows, James Hardie ColorPlus) add 4 to 12 weeks before the install window opens.

Yes. We document damage with on-roof photography, meet your insurance adjuster on the property when possible, and write scopes carriers can validate. We do not "waive your deductible" — that's a Minnesota statute violation under MN Statute 325E.66. The homeowner is responsible for their deductible; we deliver the work the carrier approves.

We do. Most of Chanhassen went up in the 1990s–2010s with builder-grade vinyl, and a lot of it is now faded, cracked, or hail-dented. We install LP SmartSide engineered wood ($22,000–$50,000 on a typical Chanhassen home) and James Hardie fiber cement ($30,000–$80,000) — both hold color for decades and handle Minnesota freeze-thaw far better than the original vinyl, with James Hardie a common pick on Lake Minnewashta and Lotus Lake customs. We carry vinyl on request, but for most Chanhassen homes we lead with LP or Hardie and tell you the tradeoffs honestly.

Yes. Chanhassen's 1990s–2000s homes are largely still running their original builder double-pane windows, and at 25-plus years most have lost their seal — foggy glass, drafts, and high winter bills. We install ProVia, Kolbe, and Pella, from value vinyl ($1,400–$2,500/window) up to architectural lines for Lake Minnewashta and Lotus Lake customs ($2,500–$6,000/window). We'll spec the right line for the home, not the brand with the deepest kickback.
