Scott County
Prior Lake roofing, siding, and windows
We work Prior Lake out of Eden Prairie — a straight run down to the Scott County side, and a town of roughly 28,000 people that splits cleanly into two markets. There are the off-lake subdivisions around Jeffers Pond and the schools, and there are the lakefront and estate homes on Upper and Lower Prior Lake and out at The Wilds. Owner Joe Dvorak personally leads inspections on every lake-home and estate project over $40,000.

Where we work
Prior Lake is two markets, not one
Most Prior Lake towns get treated like a single tract suburb. This one isn't. Off the water — Jeffers Pond, the streets around Hamilton Ridge and Twin Oaks — it's mainstream asphalt and engineered-wood siding, $14K to $28K territory. On the water, the lakefront homes at Sand Pointe and Watzl's Beach and the estates out at The Wilds run a premium playbook: synthetic slate, cedar, standing seam, and high-end windows. I quote both honestly.
Jeffers Pond & the school side
Jeffers Pond and the Hamilton Ridge subdivisions
The off-lake builds around Jeffers Pond and the streets feeding Hamilton Ridge Elementary and Twin Oaks Middle are mostly late-90s through 2010s asphalt. The original 30-year shingles are aging out now. I open the roof, replace any rotted decking at actual cost (not a flat-rate allowance), run ice-and-water shield 36 inches from every eave to meet Minnesota code, and install CertainTeed Landmark Pro or Malarkey Emerald Pro. Typical Prior Lake asphalt re-roof lands $14,000 to $28,000.
Roofing
Roof replacement and repair in Prior Lake
$14,000 to $28,000 for an off-lake asphalt re-roof. Lakefront and Wilds homes run $35,000 to $90,000+ in synthetic slate, cedar, or standing seam. See the full roof replacement and metal roofing options.
Windows & siding
Lake-view windows and matched siding
A lakefront home lives or dies on its windows and its waterside elevation. I install Kolbe and Pella for the big lake-view openings, and I match existing James Hardie or LP SmartSide profiles so an addition or partial re-side reads as original — not a patch.

Why Modex
Three things I'll do that most Twin Cities roofers won't
I'm not the only roofer who'll drive to Prior Lake. I'm one of the few who'll spec a lake-grade roof honestly and stand behind it for the life of your ownership.
Lake-home depth
I quote the lake-grade and the standard option side by side
A lot of contractors either don't carry synthetic slate, cedar, and standing seam, or they push you straight to the most expensive line. I put the lake-grade material and the honest mainstream option in front of you with both numbers, so you decide with the real gap in view — not a sales pitch.
Eight credentials behind the work
CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Malarkey Emerald Pro, Atlas Pro+ Silver Select, LP SmartSide Preferred Contractor, and James Hardie Preferred Contractor — plus BBB Accredited A+, NRCA Member #1016569, and MN License BC762305. Materials chosen for your home, not for a supplier rebate.
Lifetime workmanship — for as long as you own the home
Industry standard is 5 to 10 years. If a roof I installed leaks in year 12 because of how we flashed or fastened it, I fix it on my dime. Most contractors at that point are gone or telling you it's your problem.

What Twin Cities homeowners say
Reviews from homeowners across the Prior Lake and Scott County corridor — lake homes, off-lake subdivisions, and storm-damage claims after the August 2023 hail cycle.
Our place sits right on Upper Prior Lake and the old shingles couldn't take the wind anymore. Joe walked the roof himself, laid out synthetic slate against standing seam with both prices, and never pushed. The new roof has handled two storm seasons without a problem.
Greg
Sand Pointe, DaVinci synthetic slate
We're out at The Wilds and our association has strict material rules. Modex confirmed everything before ordering and matched our James Hardie color exactly on the addition. You can't tell the new section from the old. Lifetime workmanship sealed it for us.
Maria
The Wilds, siding and windows
The August 2023 hail tore up our roof and the claim felt overwhelming. Modex documented the damage on the roof, met our adjuster on-site, and wrote a scope the carrier approved. No deductible games, no pressure. Straight answers the whole way.
Dan
Jeffers Pond, hail claim
Our home near Hamilton Ridge just needed an honest asphalt re-roof, not the premium upsell two other companies tried. Modex quoted Malarkey line by line, came in fair, and finished ahead of schedule. The crew cleaned up every single day.
Stephanie
Hamilton Ridge area, roof replacement
We wanted big lake-view windows on the back of the house and weren't sure what would hold up to the wind off the water. Modex spec'd Kolbe, handled the install clean, and the difference in the view is something else. Worth every dollar.
