Services + Hopkins pricing
Roofing $14K–$60K. Siding $20K–$50K. Windows $12K–$45K. Hopkins inventory varies — 1920s craftsman, mid-century ramblers, Knollwood customs — quote depends on the home, not the neighborhood average.
Roof replacement
Standard architectural asphalt $14K–$32K (CertainTeed Landmark, Malarkey Vista AR, Atlas Pinnacle Pristine). Premium $25K–$60K covers Presidential Shake TL, cedar shake, DaVinci synthetic slate (we install, not Authorized), and standing seam metal. Common on the 1920s Downtown Hopkins craftsman homes. Class 4 impact-resistant qualifies for 10–30% insurance discount.

Hopkins housing stock
Hopkins is geographically compact but architecturally diverse. Three distinct neighborhoods, three distinct material mixes. Quote depends on the home, not the neighborhood average.
Downtown Hopkins
Downtown Hopkins holds 1920s and 1930s craftsman and bungalow homes — original railroad-era housing. Smaller squares but more detailed flashing: chimney details, intersecting roof planes, dormer integration. Cedar shake, CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL, and DaVinci synthetic slate (we install, not Authorized) are the typical restoration material picks.

Why Hopkins
Three things separate us in Hopkins: multi-era expertise across the city's mixed inventory, seven-mile proximity from our Eden Prairie shop, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on every residential install.

Multi-era expertise
A 1925 craftsman down the block from a 1958 rambler down the block from a 2018 infill custom — Hopkins inventory is unusually mixed for a Twin Cities suburb. We carry the manufacturer certifications to install correctly on all three: cedar shake and synthetic slate for the craftsman homes, standard architectural asphalt for the ramblers, premium fiber cement and Kolbe windows for the customs.
Hopkins gutters + storm
Gutter installation and repair runs $1,500–$5,500 on most Hopkins homes. Storm damage repair runs $1,400–$22,000 depending on scope. Every Hopkins quote starts with a free inspection within 24 to 48 hours.
Hopkins gutters
$1,500–$5,500 for a typical Hopkins home. Seamless 5- or 6-inch aluminum, downspout extensions sized to roof pitch and drainage, MasterShield or KleanGutter leaf protection on tree-heavy downtown lots. Half-round copper available on the 1920s craftsman restorations.

2026 Hopkins pricing
Two scopes most Hopkins homeowners book. Roof and siding ranges vary by neighborhood — Downtown craftsman details run more flashing-heavy; Westbrooke ramblers are volume work.

Hopkins customers
Two recent Hopkins installs — a Downtown craftsman restoration and a Knollwood corridor re-side.


"1928 Downtown Hopkins craftsman — original cedar shake at end of life. Joe walked the chimney flashing, dormer integration, and intersecting roof planes with us before the crew started. CeDUR synthetic cedar matched the visual profile and weight the original plank decking could carry."

"Three quotes on our Knollwood corridor custom re-side. Modex was the only one that quoted full tear-off as a baseline — the others wanted to install over the failed substrate. James Hardie ColorPlus, factory-painted, 15+ year paint warranty. Finished on schedule with the site clean every day."
