How much does a roof replacement cost in St. Louis Park in 2026?

Most St. Louis Park asphalt roofs run $14,000 to $30,000 in 2026 (CertainTeed Landmark Pro, Malarkey, Atlas). Premium materials — Presidential Shake TL, synthetic slate, standing seam metal — run $25,000 to $65,000+. Post-war ramblers and 1950s-60s splits dominate the housing stock; many are on their third or fourth roof cycle.

Do you do free roof inspections in St. Louis Park?

Yes. A Modex crew lead comes within 24 to 48 hours of your call. The Modex shop is on Rosemary Road in Eden Prairie, roughly twelve miles southwest of central St. Louis Park. We walk the roof when safe, photograph the actual condition, and email a written line-item quote within 48 hours. No charge. No high-pressure follow-up.

Do you handle decking allowance on older SLP ramblers?

Yes. Most St. Louis Park ramblers have been re-roofed three or four times. By the fourth tear-off, original 1940s-50s decking has been through decades of moisture cycling. We quote a deck repair allowance upfront, document deck condition at tear-off, and bill only what actually fails — not a flat percentage that pads the invoice.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in St. Louis Park?

Yes. The City of St. Louis Park requires a building permit for any roof replacement. Inspections is at 5005 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park MN 55416, (952) 924-2588. We pull every SLP permit before our crews start work and include the permit fee in the line-item quote.

How fast can you get on my St. Louis Park project?

Storm season (May through September) 2 to 4 weeks for residential roofs. Shoulder seasons 7 to 10 days. Premium material lead times (Presidential Shake TL, DaVinci synthetic slate, James Hardie ColorPlus) add 6 to 16 weeks before install starts. Insurance jobs run on the adjuster timeline — 3 to 6 weeks.

Do you handle SLP insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes. 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.

St. Louis Park sits directly west of Minneapolis with a housing stock shaped by post-war construction.

Post-war ramblers and 1960s splits on second or third roof cycle. Standard architectural asphalt with continuous ridge vent retrofit.

Sorensen + Fern Hill

1950s and 60s expansions, custom infill near the Galleria and Park Tavern corridors. James Hardie and Kolbe common on premium replacements.

St. Louis Park housing stock

What kind of homes does Modex work on in St. Louis Park?

St. Louis Park housing — three generations on every block. Most blocks mix post-war ramblers, early-1960s splits, late-1960s and 70s expansions, and recent custom infill near the Galleria and Park Tavern corridors.

Inner-ring suburb · second + third roof cycles

Browndale, Aquila, Sorensen — pre-1990 homes on their second or third roof

Most pre-1990 St. Louis Park homes were built with marginal soffit ventilation and no ridge vent — driving recurring ice-dam frequency. Continuous ridge vent retrofit, soffit baffle inspection, and extended ice-and-water shield are part of every Modex St. Louis Park roof replacement. Compact lots mean smaller-than- average roof areas — many SLP homes run 20 to 28 squares vs the suburban median of 25 to 32.

Why St. Louis Park

Why do St. Louis Park homeowners hire us?

Three things separate us in the SLP market: ridge vent retrofit on every roof, five manufacturer certifications instead of one, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on every residential install.

Ventilation retrofit on every roof

Most pre-1990 St. Louis Park homes have inadequate attic ventilation driving ice dam frequency. We install continuous ridge vent and check soffit baffles on every replacement — eliminating the most common root cause of repeated ice dam events.

Five manufacturer certifications

Most St. Louis Park contractors install one shingle line and one siding line. We install five — CertainTeed, Malarkey, Atlas, LP SmartSide, James Hardie — so the homeowner picks the material that fits the home and budget.

Lifetime workmanship warranty

Industry standard on roofing workmanship is 5 to 10 years. Modex backs every St. Louis Park residential install for as long as you own the home. No asterisks, no fine print.
