Roofing, Siding & Windows in New Prague, 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 southwest metro and New Prague year-round.
New Prague is a regular run down 169 for my crews
I'll be straight: my shop's in Eden Prairie, so New Prague is about a 45-minute haul southwest — but the exurbs off 169 are regular territory, 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. The older homes around Main Street and St. Wenceslaus are late-1800s and early-1900s — beautiful, but on their third or fourth roof and often hiding tired decking and undersized ventilation. Out on County Road 37 and the newer subdivisions you've got 1990s–2020s two-stories that are hitting their first or second roof. And the farmsteads on the edges come with detached outbuildings and open wind exposure off the prairie. Different homes, different scopes — I quote each one for what it actually is.

Roof Replacement
CertainTeed and Malarkey certified installs. Most New Prague roofs land $14K–$30K; the newer subdivision two-stories and farmstead homes run higher into Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, or standing seam. Deck-repair allowance quoted upfront on the older Main Street homes — billed only if it fails.
Storm Damage & Insurance
Open farm country means hail and straight-line wind most summers. I've walked storm roofs across the southwest metro for 20+ years — on-roof photos, a real scope, and I'll meet your adjuster on-site. We don't waive deductibles; that's illegal in Minnesota under Statute 325E.66.
Windows
Kolbe, Pella, and ProVia — the brands I'd put in my own house, not the deepest-kickback line. Value vinyl $1,400–$2,500 a window; architectural lines $2,500–$6,000. The 1970s–90s subdivision homes are full of fogged, drafty original glass that's overdue.
Siding
LP SmartSide and James Hardie installs that hold paint through Minnesota freeze-thaw and don't shatter at -20°F. I quote both side-by-side so you see the cost gap before deciding. Chalking aluminum and aging cedar is most of what I replace out here.
Gutters & Guards
Seamless gutter repair and MasterShield guard installs. 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 New Prague-area commercial and farm buildings — flat membrane (TPO, EPDM, mod-bit) and metal. Manufacturer-backed warranty plus a 10-year workmanship warranty. Honest condition reports, not 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 — by then most outfits are gone or telling you it's your problem.
No door-knocking. No pressure.
No storm-chasing your street, no same-day-close playbook. I'll measure your New Prague 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, Atlas Pro+ Silver Select, LP SmartSide, James Hardie Preferred. That cert depth lets me register warranties most contractors can't — and it's verified, not a logo I pasted on.
New Prague subdivision re-roof · hail claim, full replacement
New Prague · 2026 · CertainTeed Landmark Pro + Storm Claim
A 2-inch hail event off the prairie bruised the whole south slope. I documented it, met the adjuster on the roof, and the carrier approved a full replacement. Homeowner paid their deductible — no waived-deductible games.
Aging cedar replaced · LP SmartSide, color-matched
New Prague · 2026 · LP SmartSide
Original cedar on an older home near Main Street was splitting and holding moisture. We swapped it for LP SmartSide engineered wood that holds paint through the freeze-thaw — same look, none of the rot.

The questions I actually get asked in New Prague kitchens
How much does a roof replacement cost in New Prague in 2026?
Most New Prague asphalt roof replacements run $14,000 to $30,000 in 2026 (CertainTeed Landmark Pro, Malarkey, Atlas). The bigger newer two-stories in the subdivisions off County Road 37, and the farmstead homes with detached outbuildings, can run higher — and premium materials like Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, or standing seam metal land $25,000 to $65,000+. I quote a deck-repair allowance upfront on the older Main Street-era homes and bill only what fails.
Do you do free roof inspections in New Prague?
Yes. I get a crew lead out within 24 to 48 hours. My shop is in Eden Prairie, so New Prague is about a 45-minute run down 169 — but I'm out to the southwest exurbs regularly 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 handle storm and hail insurance claims in New Prague?
Yes. New Prague sits in open farm country, so it takes both hail and straight-line wind off the prairie 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.
Do you replace windows and siding in New Prague?
Yes. A lot of the 1970s–90s subdivision homes and the older homes near St. Wenceslaus still run original single-pane or fogged double-pane glass, plus chalking aluminum or aging cedar siding. I install ProVia, Kolbe, and Pella windows ($1,400–$2,500/window value vinyl up to $2,500–$6,000 architectural) and LP SmartSide ($22,000–$50,000) or James Hardie ($35,000–$75,000) siding — both hold paint through Minnesota freeze-thaw and don't shatter at -20°F.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in New Prague?
Yes. Homes inside city limits permit through the City of New Prague; rural acreages and farmsteads permit through Scott or Le Sueur County depending on which side of the line you're on. I pull whichever permit applies before my crews start and fold the fee into the line-item quote — you're not chasing it down.
How fast can you start a project in New Prague?
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. Insurance jobs run on the adjuster's timeline, usually 3 to 6 weeks.
