Where can I find a roofing contractor in Minnetonka, MN?
Modern Exterior Systems (Modex) is a Minnetonka siding, roofing, and window contractor based five miles south in Eden Prairie. Our crews work Greenwood, Carlson Center, Williston, and Glen Lake every week. Lake-side customs, mid-century ramblers, and 1980s walkouts make up most of the housing stock — wooded lots get LP SmartSide or James Hardie siding when the original cedar or aluminum gives out. Five manufacturer certifications. Lifetime workmanship warranty on residential installs. Default 6-nail wind pattern on every Minnetonka asphalt roof.

Local
Minnetonka neighborhoods we know well
Modex serves Greenwood, Carlson Center, Glen Lake, Williston, and Tonkawood—neighborhoods filled with 1970s ramblers, Lake Minnetonka shoreline customs, and modern teardown rebuilds. Every project pulls a permit through City of Minnetonka Building Inspections (14600 Minnetonka Blvd, 952-939-8313).
Heritage
Deep project history in Minnetonka
Modex was headquartered in Minnetonka for years before relocating to Eden Prairie. That history means we know Minnetonka's homes, codes, neighborhoods, and many repeat-customer households inside and out.
Greenwood
Years of rambler roofing and siding work
Modex has completed dozens of roofing and siding projects in Greenwood's established neighborhoods, with many repeat customers who trust our crews and warranty.
Glen Lake
1950s and 60s ramblers, one street at a time
Glen Lake is mid-century rambler country, and those roofs hide two things: marginal attic ventilation and 60-year-old decking that has cycled through every Minnesota winter. We quote a deck-repair allowance up front and bill only what actually fails — no surprise invoice on tear-off day.
The lake corridor
Shoreland customs, where the paperwork is half the job
On the shoreland lots, the review paperwork can take longer than the install. We pull it, we schedule the inspection, and we don't start until it clears — because a stop-work order in August is a far more expensive problem than a slow start in June.
Shoreland
Lake Minnetonka expertise and permits
Properties along Wayzata Bay, Carsons Bay, and St Albans Bay require shoreland overlay paperwork for any exterior work. Modex handles the process and specializes in premium materials.
Shoreland
What is shoreland overlay paperwork?
Lake-facing properties in Minnesota require shoreland overlay permits for any exterior work touching the lake-facing facade. Modex coordinates with the city and handles all documentation.
Shoreland
How long does the review actually take?
Plan on two to six weeks from application to approval, depending on the city and how busy the season is. We file it the week you sign, not the week before the crew shows up — which is why our shoreland jobs start when we said they would.
Shoreland
What happens if a contractor skips it?
A stop-work order, and a roof sitting open while it gets sorted. We've been called in to finish jobs that got shut down mid-tear-off. It's the single most expensive corner anyone cuts on this lake, and it's the homeowner who pays for it.
