Roofing, Siding & Windows in Mahtomedi, 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 the White Bear Lake east side year-round.
Mahtomedi is east-metro territory for my crews
I'll be straight: my shop's in Eden Prairie, so Mahtomedi is a haul across the metro — but the White Bear Lake east side is a regular stop, 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. Old Wildwood and the streets off the old amusement-park grounds are full of early-1900s lake cottages that got winterized into year-round homes — beautiful, but on their third or fourth roof and often hiding tired decking. Off Stillwater Road you've got mid-century ramblers and splits, and up on the wooded lots toward Dellwood and the lakeshore there are newer customs that call for architectural shingle, synthetic slate, or standing seam. Different homes, different scopes — I quote each one for what it actually is.

Roof Replacement
CertainTeed and Malarkey certified installs. Most Mahtomedi roofs land $14K–$30K; the White Bear Lake shore customs run higher into Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, or standing seam. I quote a deck-repair allowance upfront on the older Old Wildwood homes — and bill only what fails.
Windows
Kolbe, Pella, and ProVia — the brands I'd put in my own house, not the deepest-kickback line. Value vinyl runs $1,400–$2,500 a window; architectural lines for the lake customs $2,500–$6,000. Most of my Mahtomedi calls start here: fogged glass and drafty original units.
Siding
LP SmartSide and James Hardie installs that hold paint through White Bear Lake freeze-thaw and don't shatter at -20°F. I quote both side-by-side so you see the cost gap before deciding. Original 1960s–80s cedar and chalking aluminum is most of what I replace here.
Storm Damage & Insurance
I've walked hail and wind-damage roofs across the east metro for 20+ years. On-roof photos, a real scope, and I'll meet your adjuster on the property. We don't waive deductibles — that's illegal in Minnesota under Statute 325E.66.
Gutters & Guards
Seamless gutter repair and MasterShield guard installs to keep the wooded Mahtomedi lots from clogging every fall. 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 east-metro commercial buildings — flat membrane (TPO, EPDM, mod-bit) and metal. Manufacturer-backed warranty plus a 10-year workmanship warranty. Honest condition reports, not a 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 — and by then most outfits are either gone or telling you it's your problem.
No pressure. No same-day close.
No storm-chasing your street, no same-day-close playbook. I'll measure your Mahtomedi 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 Pro, Atlas Pro+ Silver Select, LP SmartSide, James Hardie Preferred. That cert depth is what lets me register the warranties most contractors can't — and it's verified, not a logo I pasted on.
Mahtomedi window replacement · fogged units swapped, not the whole house
Mahtomedi · 2026 · ProVia + Kolbe
An Old Wildwood owner thought they needed a full-house replacement. Eleven units had failed seals; the rest were sound. I replaced the eleven and left the good ones — a few thousand dollars instead of a five-figure job. No upsell.
Storm-damaged siding · rolled into the roof claim
Mahtomedi · 2026 · LP SmartSide + Storm Claim
Straight-line wind tore the south-face siding and bruised the roof. I documented both, met the adjuster on-site, and the siding rolled into the same claim — homeowner paid one deductible, not two jobs.

The questions I actually get asked in Mahtomedi kitchens
How much does a roof replacement cost in Mahtomedi in 2026?
Most Mahtomedi asphalt roof replacements run $14,000 to $30,000 in 2026 (CertainTeed Landmark Pro, Malarkey, Atlas). Premium materials — Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, standing seam metal — run $25,000 to $65,000+, which is where a lot of the White Bear Lake shore customs land. The older Old Wildwood cottages often need deck repair after 50-plus winters; I quote a deck allowance upfront and bill only what actually fails.
Do you do free roof inspections in Mahtomedi?
Yes. I get a crew lead out within 24 to 48 hours. My shop is in Eden Prairie, so Mahtomedi is a haul across the metro — but the White Bear Lake east side is regular territory for my crews, and the drive is on me, not your quote. We walk the roof 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 replace windows in Mahtomedi?
Yes — windows are most of what I get called for in Mahtomedi. A lot of the Old Wildwood cottages and the mid-century homes off Stillwater Road still run original single-pane 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 White Bear Lake custom builds ($2,500–$6,000/window). I spec the right line for the home, not the brand with the deepest kickback.
Who installs siding in Mahtomedi, including storm-damaged siding?
I do. Most Mahtomedi siding work is original 1960s–80s cedar, hardboard, or chalking aluminum — plus storm-damaged runs on the wind-exposed lake side. I install LP SmartSide engineered wood ($22,000–$50,000 on a typical Mahtomedi home) and James Hardie fiber cement ($35,000–$75,000), both of which hold paint through White Bear Lake freeze-thaw and don't shatter at -20°F. If a storm pulled the run, that often rolls into the same insurance claim as the roof.
Do you handle Mahtomedi insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. The east metro and the 55115 ZIP take hail and straight-line wind most summers. I document damage with on-roof 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, and any contractor who offers to is showing you how they cut corners.
How fast can you start a project in Mahtomedi?
Storm season (May through September) runs 2 to 4 weeks for residential roofs. Shoulder seasons are 7 to 10 days. Premium material lead times (Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, James Hardie ColorPlus, architectural windows) add 6 to 16 weeks before install. The City of Mahtomedi requires a building permit for roof replacement — I pull every permit before my crews start and fold the fee into the line-item quote, so you're not chasing it down.
