St. Louis Park neighborhoods
Where Modex works in St. Louis Park
St. Louis Park sits directly west of Minneapolis with a housing stock shaped by post-war construction. Browndale, Aquila, Sorensen, Fern Hill, Bronx Park, and Westwood neighborhoods anchor the city's renovation and teardown market. Pre-1990 homes mostly need ridge vent retrofit at roof replacement.
Browndale + Aquila
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.
City of St. Louis Park Building Inspections: 5005 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park MN 55416, (952) 928-2842. Permits required for every roof replacement — pulled by Modex before crews start.

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.

Browndale premium
Browndale custom infill + mid-century moderns
Browndale is St. Louis Park's higher-end residential pocket. Custom infill builds, mid-century moderns, and renovated ramblers trend toward premium materials. Joe walks every St. Louis Park install over $40,000 — most Browndale premium projects clear that threshold.

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.
