Services + Hopkins pricing
Services in Hopkins + typical price ranges
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
$14K–$32K standard · $25K–$60K premium
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.
Siding installation
$20K–$50K — LP SmartSide + James Hardie
LP SmartSide engineered wood (value tier) and James Hardie fiber cement with ColorPlus 15+ year paint warranty. Full tear-off, house-wrap upgrade, no installing over failed substrate. Period-appropriate profile matching for the craftsman homes downtown and the post-war ramblers through Westbrooke.
Window replacement
$12K–$45K — ProVia, Kolbe, Pella
ProVia Endure for value tier with lifetime warranty. Kolbe Heritage ($2,500–$6,000 per window) and Pella Architect Series for the 1920s downtown craftsman restorations — custom grilles matched to original divided-lite patterns. Triple-pane Low-E standard across the line.
Hopkins housing stock
What kind of homes does Modex work on in Hopkins?
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
1920s + 30s craftsman and bungalow
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.
Westbrooke
1950s + 60s ramblers and mid-century moderns
Westbrooke and the streets north of downtown skew 1950s and 60s ramblers and mid-century moderns. Standard architectural asphalt $14K–$32K is the volume product here — CertainTeed Landmark Pro, Malarkey Vista AR, Atlas Pinnacle Pristine. Coordinated roof + siding + window refreshes are common on these homes.
Knollwood + Excelsior Blvd
1990s + onward customs and recent infill
Knollwood and the Excelsior Boulevard corridor add 1990s customs and recent infill, including teardown rebuilds. Larger roof areas, more complex rooflines, James Hardie fiber cement and Kolbe Heritage windows are typical of this stretch of Hopkins.
Why Hopkins
Why do Hopkins homeowners hire us?
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
Craftsman, rambler, and infill custom — all on one block
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.
Geographic proximity
Seven miles southwest in Eden Prairie
The Modex shop is in Eden Prairie — seven miles southwest of central Hopkins. Crew lead arrives within 2 to 5 business days of your call. Owner Joe Dvorak is on the property for any project over $40,000. Short drive-time means fast response on inspections, scope changes, warranty calls, and storm-damage emergencies.
Lifetime workmanship
Backed for as long as you own the home
Industry standard on roofing workmanship is 5 to 10 years. We back every Hopkins residential install for the lifetime of the roof or siding — current owner. No asterisks, no fine print, no expiration date hidden in the contract. Documented at install, on file at the Modex office in Eden Prairie.
Hopkins gutters + storm
Gutter, storm-damage, and free-inspection services in Hopkins
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 2 to 5 business days.
Hopkins gutters
Seamless aluminum gutters + leaf protection
$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.
Storm damage repair
Hail, wind, ice-dam — $1,400–$22,000 scope range
Hopkins took hail in the June 2023 cycle and wind in the July 2025 events. 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 deductibles — illegal in MN under Statute 325E.66.
Free Hopkins inspection
Crew lead within 1 to 3 days
Every Hopkins quote starts with a free inspection. Crew lead — or Joe on projects over $40,000 — arrives within 24 to 48 hours. We walk the roof when safe, photograph the actual condition, and email a written line-item quote within 48 hours of the visit.
