Plymouth housing stock

What kind of homes does Modex work on in Plymouth?

Plymouth grew in three distinct waves. 1960s and 70s ramblers around Bass Lake and Medicine Lake. 1980s and 90s split-level and walkout builds through Plymouth Creek and Vicksburg Lane. 2000s-onward customs east of I-494. Common thread: Plymouth homes are roughly 30% larger by square footage than the metro median.

Cabin icon

Bass Lake — 1960s and 70s ramblers

Plymouth's older inventory. Most on second or third roof cycle. Per-square quoting (typically 28–38 squares of roof on a Plymouth rambler vs 22–28 typical of older suburbs).

Family home icon

Medicine Lake — 1990s walkouts

Reaching replacement age. Upgrades from architectural-grade asphalt to Presidential Shake TL or DaVinci synthetic slate (we install, not Authorized). Class 4 impact-resistant adds 10–30% insurance discount.

Architecture icon

Plymouth Creek + Vicksburg Lane corridor

2000s custom and infill. Larger square footage, complex rooflines, full-house window counts of 30+ on many properties. Coordinated single-contractor delivery on roof + siding + windows.

City of Plymouth Building Inspections: 3400 Plymouth Blvd, Plymouth MN 55447, (763) 509-5000. Permits required. We pull every Plymouth permit before crews start work.

Why Plymouth

Why Plymouth homeowners hire us

Plymouth homes are bigger, the rooflines are more complex, and the material choices skew premium as 1990s walkouts age out. Three reasons that combination ends up at our door.

Calculator icon

Per-square pricing on larger Plymouth homes

Plymouth homes are larger than the suburban median. We quote per-square so the actual roof area drives the cost — typically 28–38 squares on a Plymouth single-family vs the 22–28 typical of smaller-home suburbs. No square-footage guessing, no surprise overage.

Premium certification icon

Premium-material certifications

CertainTeed Presidential Shake TL, DaVinci synthetic slate, standing seam metal — Plymouth homeowners increasingly choose premium as 1990s walkouts age out. We carry the manufacturer certifications required for warranty-eligible install on each.

Handshake icon

Owner-led on premium projects

Joe personally signs off on every Plymouth install over $40,000 — common on the larger Bass Lake and Medicine Lake homes. One owner-led point of accountability through scope, materials, install, and warranty registration.

Questions

The questions Plymouth homeowners ask us most often.

Most Plymouth asphalt roof replacements run $16,000 to $38,000 in 2026 — Plymouth homes trend larger by 20–30 percent vs the suburban median, so square footage drives total cost higher than comparable Bloomington or Crystal homes. CertainTeed Landmark Pro is the volume product. Presidential Shake TL and synthetic slate run $30,000 to $80,000+ on most Plymouth homes. Class 4 impact-resistant upgrades typically qualify for 10–30% insurance discounts.

Yes. Our crew lead — or owner Joe Dvorak on projects over $40,000 — comes out within 2 to 5 business days (5 to 10 during storm season). The Modex shop is in Eden Prairie, roughly ten miles south of central Plymouth. We walk the roof when safe, photograph the actual condition, and email a written line-item quote within 48 hours.

Plymouth homes are larger than the metro suburban median by roughly 30 percent. A Plymouth single-family that looks like a standard rambler from the street regularly has 28 to 38 squares of roof area vs the 22 to 28 typical of older suburbs. Per-square pricing is similar; total cost reflects the larger roof. We quote per-square so the homeowner sees what's driving the number.

Storm season (May through September) 2 to 4 weeks for residential roofs. Shoulder seasons 7 to 10 days. Insurance work 3 to 6 weeks. Premium materials add 4 to 12 weeks of material lead time.

Yes. Plymouth took storm damage in the June 2023 hail cycle and again in July 2025 wind 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 Minnesota under MN Statute 325E.66.

We do. A lot of Plymouth's 1980s–2000s subdivisions — Bass Lake, Plymouth Creek, the newer west-side builds — went up with builder-grade vinyl that's now faded, cracked, or hail-dented. We install LP SmartSide engineered wood ($22,000–$50,000 on a typical Plymouth home) and James Hardie fiber cement ($30,000–$80,000) — both hold color for decades and handle Minnesota freeze-thaw far better than the original vinyl. We carry vinyl on request, but for most Plymouth homes we lead with LP or Hardie and tell you the tradeoffs honestly.

Yes. Plymouth's builder-era homes are largely still running their original 1980s–90s double-pane windows — and at 25-plus years, most have lost their seal: foggy glass, drafts, and high winter bills. We install ProVia, Kolbe, and Pella, from value vinyl ($1,400–$2,500/window) up to architectural lines for Medicine Lake and the larger custom homes ($2,500–$6,000/window). We'll spec the right line for the home, not the brand with the deepest kickback.
