Question 1

How much does a roof replacement cost in Minnetonka in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Most Minnetonka asphalt roof replacements run $14,000 to $32,000 in 2026. The 6-nail wind installation we use as Minnetonka default adds $300 to $600 over standard 4-nail installs but improves the wind warranty. Lake-side premium materials — Presidential Shake TL, DaVinci synthetic slate, standing seam metal — typically run $25,000 to $90,000+ on the larger Greenwood and Glen Lake homes. Class 4 impact-resistant upgrades qualify for 10–30% insurance discounts.

Question 2

Do you do free roof inspections in Minnetonka?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our crew lead — or owner Joe Dvorak on projects over $40,000 — comes within 24 to 48 hours. The Modex shop is on Rosemary Road in Eden Prairie, roughly five miles south of central Minnetonka. We walk the roof when safe, photograph the actual condition, and email a written line-item quote within 48 hours. No charge.

Question 3

Why does Minnetonka roofing need 6-nail installation?

Accepted Answer

Minnetonka catches the prevailing west wind off the open-air corridor of Lake Minnetonka. Straight-line wind events strip more shingles per acre in Minnetonka than in interior suburbs. Standard 4-nail installation per shingle is rated for typical conditions. 6-nail installation rates the install for 110+ mph wind warranty and reduces the likelihood of mid-life wind damage. The cost difference is $300 to $600. We do this as default.

Question 4

How fast can you start a project in Minnetonka?

Accepted Answer

Storm season (May through September) lead times are typically 2 to 4 weeks for residential roofs. Shoulder seasons we can sometimes turn a Minnetonka project in 7 to 10 days. Insurance jobs run on the adjuster timeline — usually 3 to 6 weeks. Material lead times for premium products add 4 to 12 weeks.

Question 5

Do you handle insurance claims in Minnetonka after a hail storm?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The open-air corridor that brings wind also brings hail. We document damage with on-roof photography, meet your insurance adjuster on the property when possible, and write scopes the carrier can validate. We do not "waive your deductible" — that's a Minnesota statute violation under MN Statute 325E.66.

Question 6

Who installs siding in Minnetonka?

Accepted Answer

We do. Many Minnetonka homes from the 1960s–80s sit on wooded lots wearing original cedar that's now weathered, or chalking aluminum and aging vinyl. We install LP SmartSide engineered wood ($22,000–$50,000 on a typical Minnetonka home) and James Hardie fiber cement ($30,000–$80,000) — both hold color through Minnesota freeze-thaw far better than the siding they replace, and both stand up to the moisture that comes with tree cover near Glen Lake and Lake Minnetonka. We carry vinyl on request, but for most Minnetonka homes we lead with LP or Hardie and tell you the tradeoffs honestly.

Question 7

Do you replace windows in Minnetonka?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A lot of Minnetonka homes were built with large window walls to capture wooded and lake views, and many still run first-generation double-pane glass that's lost its seal — fogging, drafts, and high winter bills. We install ProVia, Kolbe, and Pella, from value vinyl ($1,500–$2,500/window) up to Kolbe and Pella Reserve architectural lines for Greenwood and lakeside customs ($2,500–$6,000/window). We spec the right line for the home, not the brand with the deepest kickback.
